25th= Greatest guitar ever made.

[DaPatrooch]

Today I took a ride up to Guitar Center, and low and behold, on the wall was a 25th with the SICKEST top I've ever seen on a guitar. It was like a flamey quilt, I can't really describe it, but it was awesome. It had a rosewood fretboard and trem. I immediately asked a salesman to take it down and let me try it.

I plugged it into a Dual Rectifier, and without any tweaking, I was in tone heaven. The sound and sustain was unbelievable, it sounded better than my JP. It was so warm and full, it sounded amazing for rock and metal. The neck is awesome too, I like it as much as my JP's neck, though it is thicker and rounder. I love all the pickup combinations you can get. I found that I liked the full humbuckers better in series and the split coils better in parallel. I've never really used the Vintage trem before, but it was very nice. I loved the body shape and the arm contour felt much better to me than the Axises I've played.

I'm just restating what everyone's been saying about this guitar, go out and play one! Bottom line, it was the best sounding and one of the best feeling guitars I've ever played. This is definitely at the top of my GAS list!

Oh and another thing worth noting: they had a StingRay5 Stealth and it looked amazing, so if you're thinking about getting a JP Stealth, just do it!

Did ya get it?

 

[DaPatrooch]

No, unfortunately I don't have the money. Hopefully sometime soon though!

Ah yes you discovered the magic of the 25th, hands down best EBMM yet in my opinion.
All the tops have been kick azz and lots of birdseye on them and well tones from heaven, versatile as hell, thats why it won best of show at NAMM.

While i sold my origianl due to circumstances beyond my control, thank goodnes for MF discounts and no interest financing

So here is some sickness for you, major bookmatched quilt, and loads of birdseye, visual beauty to go with the tone, if your on the fence get one

I hope you can get one someday. The 25th is indeed a fantastic guitar!

Awesome pics fing! How do you like the maple fretboard compared to the rosewood?

Even if I won't be able to get one until next year, I could still get one of the normal production ones, or I could find a store that still has one in stock.

I'm holding out for the game changer... and also for a higher paying job...

 

[megaroel]

freaken sweet i want to try one real bad, but theres none around these parts.
maybe one day i'll get to run into one then its on.lol

 

[Jack FFR1846]

Man.....I wanted to try one out Friday but the sales guys all seemed to have lines of people buying "the List" stuff. I hate bothering people, so played a luke instead (in my reach....physically) and loved it.

 

[roburado]

Yeah, I saw a pair of 25ths at a local GC. They weren't in reach. So, I didn't bother. PITA. Even the BFR Axis which was in reach was locked down. PITA.

I'm holding out for the game changer

Oh yeah, forgot about that. Should be awesome, imagine the possibilities!

 

[robelinda2]

Better than a MM90 AL?

Haha. I was up there today as well and my buddy John told me that someone was playing the 25th cuz I asked if it was sold. I also played that Stingray 5 Stealth in the bass room. I was probably up there at the same time as you. I was with my girl. You weren't the guy that asked me if I was playing DT by any chance were you?

"Greatest guitar ever made"

I can't comment since I haven't played them all. But in close to 30 years of playing guitar, I've played many guitars and the 25th is definitely the best I have ever played or heard!

 

[Big Poppa]

thanks so much we are all very proud of the 25th
