Well, after yet more consideration, i've decided that i'll get either the JS1000 or the JS100, based upon these factors.
I have next to no income at the moment (just turned 16, hoping to get a part time job soon). I want a js guitar that stays in tune when you whammy. I want a JS :p lol
So if anyone has a 100, please please tell me how good the tremolo system is. I know it's an edge III, but other than that i know nothing about it. (also, how far up can you go on it before it snaps a string?) Also for those of you lucky enough to own a 1000, please tell me about the pros and cons (if there are any cons). I can go for either, but i'd like one within a year.
Thanks very much

Or perhaps even Joe himself could answer my question? Although it's unlikely that he plays JS100's. What with him getting 1200's and 1000's for free :)

Mikey-san: Like I've said before we should just get all the cool guitar players together for one long concert and call it G-Whiz!! I agree, guitar is not done yet! Steven Wilde says hi. Back to work for me early! I started yesterday back at Target. It went good. More l8ter.

JS black dog: i see, i've never used a floyd rose before so that helps :D. How much does the 100 go out of tune when you do massive whammy things though? I would expect not much, it is a JS

Edge pro 3 is ok but thats about it... i find em a lil cheap compared to higher ones... the neck on the 100 prob isnt as nice either, but it's probably still a fine guitar!
js1200 is beautiful to play

Randell: lol bro, I remember you talking about G-Whiz before, and it really is great idea. Thanks for passing the good word from Steven, and please tell him to keep up the rock when he gets the chance! And I'm happy to hear your back in the swing of things at work..It was a long hard road for you, but you never gave up..Congrats!
/\/\ /\ R |<: You hit the nail on the head about Mike Orlando..I've been checking out his vids and he has some great phrasing to go along with it..fantastic player!
WhammyFreak: I ordered AAL as well, and Tosin really makes me feel like there is a new fresh Joe in Instrumental guitar! \m/

Which means he's right up your Joe alley. ;-)
lol!
Wicked bad thunder storm here last night. The last BOOM of the night sat me straight up! I ran over to my daughters room to see if she was hanging by her fingernails off the ceiling. lol! She sleeps right at a window, but the windows in my sons room aren't to close to his bed. Between the lightening flash and the earth rumbling explosive sounding hit, there was no way I was falling back to sleep after that! It was sooo loud! The biggest hit was like the finale. After that, the storm was over. I have no idea what it hit, but it was close! Maybe it hit a transformer? I feel bad for anyone that was caught in it. It was baaaad!
Hello Jeff!

@ Michelle - If Mark hadn't spoke up for Orlando I would have been a bit suspect. that vid looked weird and there was no Marchblank Noob Clock. LOL Gonna be interesting to hear the new stuff though no matter what.
E2A played this past Sat and we got some real good audio (16 tracks) and video (10 cameras). Those should be ready in about a month. Till then ... Horns up! \m/

Wow. This job is beyond a nightmare. The manager is such an ass. I'm new to this town.. don't get mad at me for asking if we deliver to a certain area. I got the hint it wasn't a good place we he told. Me that his store has never profited and he has been there for a few years. If you can't get your store to profit and your losing money as well.. that just shows your a bad manager. Sad.
Oh well... new job lined up and I go and hopefully sign the papers today
