How could I make the randy rhoads v

[rapid zenith]

Buy a kit v and paint it like that

[bronze tartan]

Get his better V

[boreal lion]

I'm guessing I would have to change pickups and floyd for it to sound good

[rapid zenith]

Pickups maybe but not necessary the one u posted is hard tail

[untold lintel]

Floyd doesn’t make almost any difference atleast not to me

[boreal lion]

I want a whammy on it that's why

[rapid zenith]

Buy a kit that had a TOM bridg and stoptail and get a Floyd rose FRX

[bronze tartan]

There’s kits with Floyd’s get that and then a gotoh

[boreal lion]

Can u send a good one in chat I can't find

[rapid zenith]

There is also Chinese custom shop

https://www.ebay.com/itm/235871837196?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&google_free_listing_action=view_item&srsltid=AfmBOoplzUFgVe9WLtQMBLLw9s_KZvT-2cv1241xk-vb98yzNXx_xw4mZNQ&com_cvv=8fb3d522dc163aeadb66e08cd7450cbbdddc64c6cf2e8891f6d48747c6d56d2c

For example

[boreal lion]

Aren't those shit

[undone osprey]

I mean it's an easy way to get a decent body

[long apex]

how would a floyd make it sound any better

[boreal lion]

How bad would neck be

[boreal lion]

I use whammy allot

[rapid zenith]

U take the body u mod the electronics

It’s not much different then a kit guitar just pre painted

[long apex]

with all of these types of guitars, the unbranded ebay chinese shits

just expect the worst

and be prepared to repair and modify

there's no safety net or garauntee with these

if you're comfortable with paying for or doing repair work then its fine and you can go ahead

[boreal lion]

If I mod it will it perform as well as a high end guitar

[undone osprey]

no

at least like the fretwork and stuff

[boreal lion]

How well would it perform and what would the difference be

[bronze tartan]

As much as I love modding it’s not the same as a high end guitar specs maybe be but quality ain’t

[boreal lion]

I mean would it be better than getting an epi with gibson pickups cause if not ill just get an epi

[bronze tartan]

Tho higher end epis are nice

[boreal lion]

What would be better

[bronze tartan]

Compared to what?

[boreal lion]

Modded Chinese v or high end epi

[bronze tartan]

Be more specific cause epiphone is mic

[boreal lion]

Wdym mic

[bronze tartan]

Made in China

[boreal lion]

Ah mb if I modded the v sent in chat earlier or buy an epiphone v what would end up better and what would I have to mod

[undone osprey]

Ok but epi vs don’t have terms

Trems

[boreal lion]

Ik so epi would be better?

[long apex]

if you address any apparent issues

[undone osprey]

I thought you wanted a Floyd

[long apex]

giving it a fret dress, give it a better nut, inspect if the routing on the bridge posts are good

etc

its extremely possible to turn a shit guitar into one that plays almost as well as high end models, but it's not a one size fits all thing that i can just make a blanket statement over because you have to identify what's wrong with it first before going forward

[boreal lion]

Would it need to be refretted do u think or do most not

[long apex]

like i said

i dont know

you'd have to have the guitar in hand first

thats why i said if you're buying these type of replica clones off ebay

expect the worst

that way you're prepared for the most

[rapid zenith]

It will probably play like any other guitar u would pay the same price for

[long apex]

that can't be as garuanteed

because guitars like this have no brand behind them

there is no warranty or liability or anything

[rapid zenith]

That’s true but with everything being made the same way with machining it’s better than it woulda been say 20yrs ago or something

[long apex]

i've had some in hand and issues range from nothing to really shoddy mistakes like somehow fretboard dents

[long apex]

nah less about the machining more about the actual human process of putting them together

glue ups

assembly

[rapid zenith]

I’ve played 1 in my time it was decent feel wise electronics were mid

[long apex]

even in the age of QC, the operator is still human

[rapid zenith]

Well I played 2 but one was left handed and I’m not

[long apex]

calibrating the blank still requires human hands and all

[boreal lion]

After all the problems are fixed what would u recommend changing other than floyd and pickups

[long apex]

not just floyd and pickups

everything

tuners, nut

electronics

if you want a guitar that plays and feels high end, with this guitar you're basically just buying a painted body and neck

that's all this is gonna be

even then you might still be doing refretting, or just basic fretwork on the neck

assuming it's not warped or anything

and assuming the body was routed properly

[boreal lion]

If it's warped what can I even do

[long apex]

more work than you'd likely be willing

steam, bending, sometimes re radiusing and leveling the fretboard itself then refretting

im not saying its gonna happen

im saying prepare for the worst
