Why I should buy a USA RR1 ?

[BigDaddyD]

if you have to explain it to your parents, the best explanation is getting a job and buying it yourself.

Oh I guess I didn't wrote it well ... My parents ain't gonna buy me e 2000 $ guitar for sure ahaha they just want me to get the right decision before spending that lot of money that I work my ass off for ! My parents aren't rich people who gives me all I want .. they're not poor too but a 2000 $ don't fit in their budget haha

I know I should tune every time I play but , do the floyd stay in tune longer than a licensed or there's no really big difference ?

Here's the deal with Floyd copies. An OFR, or Schaller Floyd, if set up properly will stay in tune extremely well even with some moderate whammy abuse. Licensed copies range from almost as good, to units that go out of tune if you look at them the wrong way. The major difference I find with cheap copies, is that the fine tuner threads are sloppy and/or stiff and hard to turn. Real Floyds have brass fine tuner screws with very precisely machined threads. They fit tightly, but turn very smoothly. Other things you'll find wrong with cheapies, are poorly fitting trem arms, and lock blocks that strip.

Kahler Steelers are excellent Floyds, and Gotoh Floyds are pretty good too. Some of the older Takeuchis are good too, but only the ones with the brass fine tuner screws.

And how would you describe the pickups in the guitar , will I have to change them , because the pickups in the RR5 were not awesome at all ... I think the pickup they put at the neck was a bridge pickup ...that's what a pro told me anyway

in my RR1 I've got emg 81\85 18 volt mod(sounds awesome - but only with a noise gate)

I did buy mine used (Dark Saga , installed emg's - but the duncans in my kv2 sound great too !!!)

The pickups in the RR5 are both JBs. You can put any pickup in any position you want, whatever sounds good to you. You just have to adjust their height so the sound balances. The RR1 has a JB and Jazz.

[HugoLC]

Do the JB can do Heavy Metal ? or I'll have to put EMG or a Dimebucker in it ? You would be suprise how I can handle the Rhoads tone with my RR5 , Dimebucker , in a Marshall JCM 800 2203 boosted with Boss SD-1 it's incredible

So why not make sure your guitar's 10% in tune every time you play?

I'd rather make sure it's 100% in tune.

Even better would be a mint "Used" one... that way you save $1800 !
And still get your baby...
