What's the VHT verdict?

Oh! And how do you think this compares to say a Loomis or an Agile, if you have any experience with them?

Nice axe and pics cheif. I'm starting to like mine a bit more. I moved my strap locks to the underside of the front and rear points and seems to work out better. I'm starting to like the pickups a tad better. I'm just not use to the sound of the low 7 string. It's foreign sounding to me.

Overal it's a nice guitar and I'm pretty happy with it. It's too damn green though I think.

The regular Xiphos' neck reminds me of my ESP's, the shape is much more rounded than their regular necks, kind of interesting.

I guess a lot of posts from last night/early AM got deleted because I posted a lengthy post-Rehearsal/VHT review in this thread, but now it's gone. That sucks. The verdict is it's amazing. I don't feel like writing it all up again, perhaps later.

Thanks dude. Yeah man you'll get used to it, perhaps experiment with different string brands/gauges, as that can be a crucial factor in getting the low B string to sound the way you want.

Good luck

That sounds interesting, I've never played an ESP though,

I'm cravin me some trem so this wouldn't work for me anyways. Goddamn I sold my only guitar with a recessed trem (but it was a shitty trem so I guess it worked out)!

I don't know, the guy I'm starting the boutique store with gave it to me, I haven't tried it out yet

In regards to the Xiphos 7 at my band practice w/ my VHT, the gist of it was that I was shocked at how great it sounded considering how lame the Xiphos 6 and every other DActivator guitar I've played sounded. It was really punchy, clear, brutal, aggressive and musical. Lead tones especially were really expressive and huge sounding. The neck position sounds fantastic as well. I really could not be any happier with this guitar. I'd recommend it to anybody.

That's the feeling I got when I played it. And still, omg, it couldn't sit more perfect!
