ROTER FANNED FRETS prodyction model ??? Go buy an AGILE instead! - Page 20

Apophis · 11-18-2009, 07:17 AM

Shipping sucks sometimes, cause it takes few weeks sometimes and sometimes few days. About costs of taxes, we both is UE, so there aren't any taxes at all, I pay all taxes sending the guitar to you, you pay nothing more than my price. That's it

Fzau · 11-18-2009, 07:18 AM

No duty at all mate! Roter is located in Poland, which is still in the European Union if I'm not mistaking

EDIT: ^ beaten to it..

hmmm_de_hum · 11-18-2009, 07:21 AM

Oh thats excellent, well yeah thats removed any and all speculations i've had, you can definately be expecting an order

Thanks for the quick response though!

If that goes well, i will go for a NTB variant also.

Don't suppose there is any scope for adding Piezo's at all?

Apophis · 11-18-2009, 08:40 AM

there will be enough room for adding piezo in the future, bridge will be based on regular saddles, so no worries with future swap in needed

hmmm_de_hum · 11-18-2009, 12:06 PM

Oh no sorry, i was enquiring about having Piezo's installed during construction? But im guessing that falls slightly out of the semi-custom profile does it not?

It's not a problem either way, just a luxury i wanted to see if was availible, i will still order if not

Apophis · 11-18-2009, 01:23 PM

it requires a lot more work, so at least at the very beginning there won't be such option available, sorry

hmmm_de_hum · 11-18-2009, 02:25 PM

No worries, it was a long shot, i'll come back to that some other time

The Echthros · 11-19-2009, 01:46 PM

gonna keep bumping this until something happens. HA!

Cheesebuiscut · 11-19-2009, 01:57 PM

I want more pics! I don't care if there has or hasn't been any more progress! More!

Hahaha! You're like me. I keep checking this thread every hour and get just a little more bummed when no one bumps it!

Yeah, that would be a good way to keep us natives from getting restless!

Dude, do you want him building guitars or taking pointless pictures?

Honestly... I think the first is a much better use of his time.

Apophis · 11-20-2009, 01:15 PM

right now we are waiting for first Merlin pickups for that guitar plus we have custom bridges in works

Sounds great

I'm hoping for organic articulate high output 8 string passive PU's with lots of dynamics that can also handle good cleans... impossible is nothing

EDIT: 350th post!

Sounds good to me!

Lethe · 11-23-2009, 05:54 PM

Oh, one more question: Could you make the upper spike in the middle of the headstock rounded like in halsinden's custom 7? I really love that look. You'd only have to move the Roter logo down a bit, which would also look cool.

S-O · 11-23-2009, 08:48 PM

Will a low E sound good at 28", or will it be too flubby? I am considering getting one of these, and etehr use it as a meshuggah/shred machine, or string it up like Charlie Hunter's 8 EADadgbe.

I plan on getting one either way, the CH style would just be an experiment. Just gotta save up a lot XD

Cheesebuiscut · 11-24-2009, 01:35 PM

I don't doubt it would be able to handle it. Tosin abasi (animals as leaders) uses his rg2228 with the 27" scale for EAeadgbe so it works. Just need a heavy enough string.

Apophis · 11-26-2009, 01:06 PM

NEWS 26-11-2009

so I have news and question in the same time. I spoke with Lundgren and he is able to make slanted pickups for my request, but price as you could imagine will be high - 300euro per pickups what is 450$.
Any opinions??

troyguitar · 11-26-2009, 01:11 PM

I personally wouldn't want one, but I imagine it would be nice to have as an option. Most people haven't played a fanned fret guitar so they will likely want to spend as little as possible at first, then maybe if they like it they'll want to buy the Lundgren (or another guitar with the Lundgren in it) later.

TomAwesome · 11-26-2009, 01:12 PM

I think that might be a nice option to have available. Any idea what they'd sound like in wenge? Also, where can I listen to Merlins? If there's going to be a choice to make with the pickups, that means I have a bit of research to do.

hmmm_de_hum · 11-26-2009, 01:16 PM

Lundgrens...wow...things just got a whole lot more tempting

What are the tonal characteristics of the Merlins if you know at all?

Apophis · 11-26-2009, 01:29 PM

Merlin Pickups - guitar and bass pickups

go there and search for "próbki dzwiękowe"

Fzau · 11-26-2009, 01:30 PM

damn, that's a lot of cash

I'd like to compare them with Merlin pickups first too, any info on their tonal characteristics?

EDIT: aargh beaten to it
