Re: 2005 NAMM Report


I just read what you said about Edge III in the rg section but is there a clear superior bridge betwen the Edge Pro II and the Edge III or is it just preferance?

Re: 2005 NAMM Report


Until some usage reports come back that'll be unknown. On the surface it looks like just another EPII version, but the string lockdowns on the saddles are different, and the saddles themselves [past the Edge/lo pro diference] may be allot different. Time will tell.

Re: 2005 NAMM Report


It's too bad they're not exactly as pictured. From the specs, it looks like the RG is based on the RGT42DX... it's going to have shark tooth inlays. I think it looks so much better with that blank rosewood board.

Thanks Darren, I couldn't remember the guys name so I left them off until I could get it! I'll work on that later.

Re: 2005 NAMM Report


Ugh... I agree that this would look much better with no inlays. I never really cared much for the sharktooth inlays to begin with.

Re: 2005 NAMM Report


The Sharktooth inlays are indeed bad looking...I'd rather have a blank board or dot inlays....

Re: 2005 NAMM Report


Hi Rich, its the designation i was after.
the picture is listed as an ICX220BK but the image is too small to make out the product code on the RVX.

Thanks again.

Re: 2005 NAMM Report


OOOOH! No, that's wrong!! When you asked I looked at the specs and not the model # unfortunately. It's the RVX220BK!

Re: 2005 NAMM Report


the giger stuff looked pretty damn cool, that's for sure.

RGAs were thinner than RGs .. now if they'd do that form factor with an edge ... that'd be cool.

edge III felt like a cheaper, not-as-well-balanced-but-better-balanced-than-edgeproII, and stiffer original edge (which i think is the absolute pinnacle of flating bridges). i was a bit surprised at how far it was pulling up, but that's a good thing, hehe.

js2 ... ehh - very consistent finish, but .. chrome was more impressive.

i have some pics, i shall process and post them in a bit
