Quick question, What’s the difference between the LTD GL600 and the GL200? Doesn’t look like the 600 is still made? Thanks
I would have to research this one. I’m thinking hardware is the major factor.
Welp, now I have to find myself one. Might check out one of the Edwards version.
I would like to get my hands on the Edward’s!
Man what a great hang! We gotta do this again! Thanks for inviting me on brother! 🤘🏻
You’re always welcome bro. I had a great time!
Great video! Fun watching what you do. I need to clean and setup a couple guitars.
It’s cheap therapy bro…. Enjoy and thanks for watching!
That M1 sounds superior to my ears.
And she’s not even set up yet! Thanks for watching bro.
Great review. I just picked up the LTD version from ZIMMs recently-love it.
Congrats bro! Thanks for watching!
This was excellent!
Yes sir! Many thanks to Randy, he’s a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for watching!
@@40gritguitars Yes, Randy sure is a wealth of knowledge! You are as well.
Hey 40 great video. In your thumbnail I thought that was Bon Jovi until I got closer. 😂
Thanks for watching!
Those older M1 bodys were said to be Kramer left over stock,and makes sense that ESP made the Kramer guitars from the 80's.
I believe that. I had a few of the old ones and I think they were heavier. I can do 9lbs. Thanks for watching!
Sounds awesome. I think the ESP has a thicker tone. What amp are you plugging into? Great tone.
Thicker may be the word I was looking for. Thanks! I’ll set that M-1 up this week. Gonna block the bridge, can’t do the float. Thanks for watching.
Do you like the The Hunter pickup or prefer others?
I think the Hunter is great! I first experienced it in my LTD neon Kami. My favorite Duncan is the custom 5, tone zone for Dimarzio, and SSH+ for Suhr. Runner up would be the Duncan Demartini RTM. Thanks for watching!
@@40gritguitars thanks for the answer! I have an RTM, a Tone Zone, and a SSH+. I've never tried the Custom 5, i have the regular Custom and the Custom Custom. My favorite magnet is alnico 5, but I read people saying that the Custom 5 is too scooped, and that in tone is like the Full Shred, which I tried but didn't like too much. How would you describe the Custom 5?
I think it’s worth a try….. opinions vary but I would give one a shot. It’s my fav.
@@40gritguitars Great, i'll try it , thanks!
Great video 40 !!! What blocks , springs and strings ??? Im assuming 2 springs in there after seeing you feather the whammy bar ... Should of tuned both to flat , I liked the tone of the LTD better , but could just the tuning ...
Hey pal! The LTD has standard block and 2 black noiseless. The bridge is blocked which I feel more comfortable with. .009-.040 on the LTD. I have not had time to tweek the ESP but I wanted to get the video done. I’ll get to it hopefully this week. I’m sure there’s 3 springs in the ESP, it’s pretty stock. The strings feel .009-.042 but I did not measure them. They will be changed out and the bridge will probably be blocked. Thanks for watching!
@40gritguitars Once you do your set up , I'm curious which you like best ???
I’ll let you know!
Awesome Collection Of Lynch Tigers 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thanks Mikey!
I wonder how close the Edwards that are being sold now compares.
Right? I was thinking the same. Thanks for watching.
Just ordered a custom5, exciter and Warren DiMartini to try out in my ltd 200 series lynch Guitars
Great show and awesome hang with 2 down to earth guitar dudes!!! 🤘🏻🎸👍🏻 Can’t wait until the next one! Come on Ryan🤣
Thanks Frank! Easy show….. I could chat with Randy for days. Thanks for watching!
Awesome guitars
Thanks for watching sir!
Hey no problem I got a question I just purchased a kramer serial number 51054 would happen to know the year of this guitar has a German made Floyd an a cream an black pickup angled thanks Donald an it's white
An the neck is scalloped thanks Donald
Is that Gibson ? Headstock. Looks like an epiphone
Lou’s Randy is an Epi. He prefers it dues to weight. It plays fantastic.
I have an 85 original same color I will definitely have to check that out ! Thanks for this video !
Thanks for watching!
Why would that guitar need a .060” shim under the nut? Can’t believe it would’ve left the factory that way.
The previous owner put an R2 on the guitar. I put the R3 back on and it dropped right in. Thank god.
@ Ah ok, I didn’t know they were different heights….
Great show Men, sorry missed the live stream. Cool stuff
No worries bro… thanks for watching!
Where can we find out more about Randy and the OU812 Crew? Never heard of him/them until this.
You can find the Crue here: youtube.com/@ohyouateone2?si=35eMYW2xok0CGr9X
Heck yeah Bro, killer builds....
Thanks Eddie!
Great show 40 Grit 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thanks Mikey!
Good times guys ✊🏼🫵🏼🤘🏼 super Strats and Floyds For Life ‼️
Great night! You are correct sir…. Love my Floyd’s…. Thanks for watching!
Yo
Thanks for watching!
Isn't the idea though to eliminate the tone suck from connecting to another pup and the extra wiring?
With regard to wiring the neck pickup? That may be a theory, but it surely sounds good to my ears. Makes the guitar more than a one trick pony IMO. Thanks for watching!
I had a 1986 Paul Dean, I remember the pickups were wired to combo the pickups and get the Strat phase tones by flipping switches. It honestly seems much easier just having the independent HSS switches. I was flicking those things like. 747 cockpit 😆 Beautiful finish on yours!
The switches are one of my favorite things on that guitar! It’s surely one that got away. Happy to have it again. Thanks for watching!
BADASS GUITAR U G0T THERE BUD!!
Thanks so much!
KICK ASS!! WE MISS Y0U RANDY!
We surely do! Thanks for watching!
I had the purple quilt top neck thru version and sold it in high school,paid $700 new which was 50%off.😭
Ugh! I often think of the ones that got away. The fun is when you stumble back on them. Thanks for watching!
I like the wolfie pop better than the tone zone
They’re both great! Thanks for watching!
Just bought a 1986 Kramer Pacer Imperial $1200 not a terrible Price...This guitar was Stolen from me in 2009 after being the Original owner....The one I bought was not the original ..but dang close! thx Phil from New Jersey!
Maple body? That’s a great price! Always good to fix the wrongs in your guitar world! Congrats.
@40gritguitars I'm not sure.. The original was a two or 3 piece body... And neck.... The neck is a one piece maple on this one...I can't see anywhere another body piece was glued... It's heavier than the last one... So it's either a bunch of pieces glued or possibly a one piece body? ( It's hard to tell)
GAP IN NECK TO BODY! WHASS UP !KRAMER
Nothing is perfect but when a consumer spends $$$$ it should be. Thanks for watching!
Nice video! Can you please explain what blocking the bridge does specifically? I thought you setup the bridge to be fixed but then I saw you using the floyd at the end.
Down motion only when you block. Better stability than a float. A must have when using a dtuna.
@ thanks.
I dig the look. How much does it weigh?
I think I did a walk around on it…. Weight should be in the video…. Just guessing at 7.8?
Nice guitar and mods. Is it necessary to block the floyd on this one or is it optional? I read some conflicting opinions on this subject regarding the top mounted floyd on these evh. I still can't decide between this evh relic and the charvel relic:) thanks
Blocking a bridge is purely preference. Thanks for watching!
@40 Grit - Thank you Mike and Kurt for an awesome hang and guitar collection!! I was able to catch the show on replay because you can’t catch them all live!🤘🏻🎸👍🏻😎
Thanks for watching! We both appreciate your support.
I saw a video claiming the frets are so big that heavy handed players may find themselves gripping the guitar out of tune. Any thoughts on that?
Heavy handed players can fret out of tune. You can accommodate that via intonation.
Really nice builds 👍👍👍 Where did you get the body from the HS version? Thank you for let me know that 😊
Perleguitars01 on eBay is where I got my build bodies. Thanks for watching!
@ thank you very much. I found him on Reverb 👍👍👍
How did I miss this?
It’s always there for a replay pal.
@40Grit thanks for having me on, it was a great time. Thanks for watching everyone
Yea man! Great time! Thanks for coming on.
Nice EVH collection 🤘
Thanks for watching Felipe!
Great show, boys! Thank you for the kind words. “Liked and Subscribed!”
Thanks Jay!
I am watching replay. I missed the LIVE stream with this excellent guest ✊🏼
He surely is! Thanks for watching bro.
Peg and I would like to thank you @40gritguitars, great show Sir 🎸🙏🎄
Thanks so much for watching! Nice to see both of you!
Guess its ok to play Warren D since hes influenced by the man lol
Love me some Warren! Thanks for watching!
Mike…that custom shop charvel is 21 frets which is kind of a deal breaker for me…it’s petty I know…other than that I think the relic looks good…but I think there are a lot of better options out there for 4300 bucks
You can get a lot of cool guitars for $4300! Thanks for watching.
Watched live for a bit, now I've finished the video. As always, a great video, I know it's difficult to post the videos (due to your work), but, keep posting when possible, I love watching!!!
Will do! Thanks for watching Felipe!
Watching replay ✊🏼 Ebony and maple fretboards for me 😆
Thanks for watching bro!
the neck should be a little wider than a normal neck. My friend has one. the neck has been replaced but he still has the neck and I could get a measurement of its width
Yes sir, R5 nut, 1 3/4”. Nice feel. Love the string spacing. A very comfortable guitar!
