    i use the earnie ball EB2715 10-52 Cobalt Skinny Top Heavy Bottom Slinky. it work very good with drop C. maybe because the cobald strings give more brightness, this is because i like the sound my original pickups. to stay better in tune i use locking tuners. maybe in future i try the 9-48 for even more better bend because less tension on strings. but this small guitar is strong enough to keep the 10-52 in tune many days

    Ask this question on another video looking for opinions. Would this guitar would handle upgrades like a new bridge floyd rose tremolo system or would I just be better off saving for a more expensive RRXMG. The reason I ask is it would be easier on the wallet to do upgrades a little at a time rather than shell out 700 plus dollars all at once. Also the tone on this does sound good.

    • @BigHairyGuitars
      @BigHairyGuitars  7 років тому +2

      I don't think you'll be happy with the result. I would assume that a proper installation of a Floyd would cost at least $400. You can get a Jackson JS Series Rhoads JS32 Electric Guitar (with Floyd from factory) for about $299.

    I want to get one of these for my daughter. She has a squier that is too big for her. DO you think it is small enough for a 9 year old to play?

      Anthony McClintock it's a perfect size for little people. Squires are full size unless specifically shown as 3/4 Scale.

      Awesome. It looks like a pink RR Minion is in my future.

    Hi, few questions to any one that can answer, how difficult it is to play on the higher frets?, i mean, how difficult it is to place your fingers on the higher frets since you have to place your thumb on the back were the guitar was bolt on, it is comfortable or not?, thank you

      I find the fretboard very comfortable. The most difficult thing to get used to is the small size of the body. It's hard to rest it on your leg with balance.

      Thank you for your answer!, what about the higher frets?, it is easy to play there?, im wondering because i have a regular RR Jackson and it is a little bit difficult to place my fingers there, since i have to place my thumb on the screws

      Hmm. That has never bothered me. I do like that there's no horn from the body blocking my hand from getting high up there. If it bothers you on the RR Jackson, it'll still probably bother you on this too though.
