which ltd

[bronze void]

looks aside how do these guitars perform? since theyre around the same price im kind of lost on which one to buy (both ltds)

(im blind buying)

[winged cairn]

both perform well but they have different feels

if u want to be able to change tunings get the snakebyte if u want to be able to use a trem but not change tunings get the KH

the KH has a gloss neck if it is the version w sparkle on it and the snakebyte is satin finish

the KH is 25.5 scale w vol vol tone layout and the snakebyte is 24.75 w vol vol layout

both have the same neck profile and a 3 way

[bronze void]

i have another guitar if i ever wanna change tunings but usually i play on standard anyways

so it just goes down to what they look like?

[winged cairn]

what they look like if u want a tone knob and if u like 24.75 or 25.5 scale length

[bronze void]

okay

thanks

i think il settle with the purple sparkle although i really want the snakebyte lol

[winged cairn]

the snakebyte played nice when i played it but it wasnt quite my thing

i prefer a regular explorer

[bronze void]

the thing is i like the color of the sparkle more but i really wanna try out the explorer shape

[winged cairn]

i love regular 80s style explorers

[bronze void]

i already have a superstrat

its really tough lol

in any case it will be an upgrade from my 300$ guitar

[winged cairn]

u could get 1 step down of the kh and get a harley benton ex 84 emg

[bronze void]

ive heard issues about harley benton

setups

[winged cairn]

the cheap cheap ones yea the mid and higher end ones no

atleast the hard tail ones

[bronze void]

so like im trying to play more lead but i love rythm aswell so both guitars stick out to me

is the floyd worth it? ive never

tried one

[winged cairn]

it realy depends what u want if it is worth it

u should try to get to a store and just try something with a floyd

[bronze void]

id feel awkward walking into a store to just try out their floyd and leave lol

especially local stores

[winged cairn]

just sit down play the guitar for 20 mins

[bronze void]

i have kind of tried one out but it had no whammy bar

[winged cairn]

grab a strap or a pair of strings while u are there

[bronze void]

so like i kinda messed around with it with the palm of my hand

[winged cairn]

u need to try one w a bar to know if u like it

[bronze void]

yeah ur right

anyway thanks for the help

[winged cairn]

ik personally my next guitar is either going to have a floyd or be a 12 string

[bronze void]

ooo nice

i mean the floyd tbh is not really that necessary now that i think about it

[winged cairn]

i would also say try an explorer in a store if u can to see if u like the shape

[bronze void]

cant i just set up my guitar with no floyd and a whammy bar to just be floating?

[bronze void]

theres not a single explorer where i live

not one

ive went to every store

[winged cairn]

it took a while for me to fine one in a store

[bronze void]

but most ppl say its a comfortable shape so

[winged cairn]

yea it is comfy

[bronze void]

can i make my normal guitar floating?

but playing with the screws

i heard smth about it but idk what would happen to the tuning lol

[winged cairn]

yes most trems but it wont have the same range in the up direction as a floyd but will work enough to do some things

[bronze void]

and how bad would the tuning get

if i use it

im using a jackson dinky for reference lol

[winged cairn]

that depends on how well u set it up and how bad of a nut is on the guitar

[bronze void]

alright

[winged cairn]

do u use ur trem currently

[bronze void]

yeah

[winged cairn]

is the tuning stability decent

[bronze void]

when i first got my guitar

i used it

and the nut literally

popped off

i glued it back in and now the tuning is really stable

idk if that has anyth to do with what i did

[winged cairn]

so if it is stable using the trem it will still be stable if u float it

u may have to pull up slightly after a hard down to get it fully back in tune tho

[bronze void]

like it goes down just a tiny bit if i ltierally abuse it

like keep diving it

[bronze void]

alright

[winged cairn]

id still say consider checking out the harley benton ex 84 emg if u are unsure

[bronze void]

but wdym like get a cheaper kh?

is there a cheaper purple sparkle i dont get it

because the other models look exactly like my superstrat

[winged cairn]

are u in the US?

[bronze void]

nope

third world country

literally nothing available here

i have to import

[winged cairn]

so u wouldnt be able to get a used one then

[bronze void]

nah no chance

honestly ur idea isnt bad at all but i think il settle for just one new one

im trying to figure out if i want a floyd or not rn lol

i adore the explorer shape but i also like to play lead

[winged cairn]

is ur current guitar 22 or 24 fret

[bronze void]

24

which is why im leaning to the snakebyte now

😭

[winged cairn]

do u use the last 2 alot

[bronze void]

i mean

kinda?

depends on the solo

but most of the time its till 22

[winged cairn]

explorers have really nice upper fret access

[bronze void]

ok i have a question tho

will the sound be like a good chunk better?

obv it will but will it be noticeable

[winged cairn]

ur amp will make more of a difference then the guitar in terms of sound

[bronze void]

well for reference i have the katana

i mostly care for comfiness here but i do wnat an improved sound that i can notice atleast

[winged cairn]

the guitar wont give u a super big sound difference

[bronze void]

then why are ppl so specific over guitar models if the sound difference is the amp

[winged cairn]

its about how it feels and looks and also the components

[bronze void]

do they just care that much about that 15% sound from the guitar to get a specific sound?

[winged cairn]

also there are some differences in pickups but a non music person wont notice it

[bronze void]

well u said u played teh snakebyte right? is it smooth to play?

also what about standing does it like stay in place?

[winged cairn]

yea i have played it it does stay in place i havent tried it standing byt yes it does stay in place standing

it does play smoothly

[bronze void]

and its smooth to play?

alright

[winged cairn]

the neck finish just isnt my prefered finish

[bronze void]

alright got it

i think il go with the snakebyte then since if the sound really isnt that different and i already have a superstrat

with 24 frets

[winged cairn]

with me rn i have a guitar w the emg jh set which is in the snake byte and also a katana go

[bronze void]

do u like the pickups?

[winged cairn]

for this guitar and what i use it for yea

[bronze void]

wait i can always just mod my old guitar no? like replace electronics

[winged cairn]

yea u can

[bronze void]

well obviously i play mostly metallica so its probably the best sound im looking for

yeah i mean honestly i can just get the snakebyte and buy the emg pickups later on to mod my superstrat

[winged cairn]

yea i have 2 guitars w emgs and 1 guitar w semour duncan invader based pickups

[bronze void]

is that like a good plan?

[winged cairn]

i play alot of metallica stuff

[bronze void]

nice

alright thanks i think i made up my mind

[winged cairn]

if u are looking for new pickups for ur current guitar check out dragon fire pickups

id recomend the phat screamers

[bronze void]

alright
