This one is supposed to fit: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/gator-gwe-elec-hardshell-electric-guitar-case Or, email these guys and ask which case they sell with the guitar. http://lightspeedmusicstore.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=190

Replacing pickups is no big deal, Very few artists use the stock pickups anyway. It's an easy job to replace them. :D

The dbz BARRX-R1 would be the best bet for the game. My unblocked Floyds are great guitars but awkward for the multiple tunings of the game. As far as brand new vs / used, makes no difference. Just be sure to get it setup if need be.

I like that they are "Rocksmith Compatible" lol. Lots of reviewers have said they broke the high E just stringing up with those neon coated strings, so I haven't really tried them myself. They have went down in price in the last year though. They were as much as 20 bucks a set a while back. Still contemplating buying a set though. Maybe if I see them on sale for $4 or so. Cloudsong it sounds like your friend is one of those "Broken string, sold AS-IS for parts" kinda guys. :D

According to the Samash site, those guitars are on closeout. They are probably introducing a new model of it soon. I got a neck-through BC Rich mocking bird stupid cheap at Guitar Center once for the same reason.

If you don't wanna deal with it I'll pay the shipping to use it for parts :D I broke lots of stuff as an angry teenager. It happens.....

I have the cdlc working with my xbox but I cant seem to get the custom inlays working.

Yeah I've always been torn between actives and passives. I like the BITE of actives but for some things passives just work better. I may have found my next experiment with Kent Armstrongs M-Buckers,, but that will be for a later day. I have one in a Mahogany guitar with maple top. I wired it to a 3 way switch to go between out of phase, just 2 coils, then all 4 coils. You get some pretty good tones out of the first 2 settings, but, with it fully on it just sounds sorta muddy. I backed the pickup height down a little cause the magnets of 2 pickups together like that seems to affect the strings a little oddly. I can't really explain it, you'd have to try it out for yourself to hear what I mean. It definitely has its own uniqueness about it. :D

Toothpicks and super glue. :D

No need to worry at all about tone, it's not like you're chopping off half the neck or anything its only about a 1/32" or 1/16" hole roughly 1/8" deep if I recall. Remember to measure twice drill once. Put some tape on the drill bit and don't go past it. I agree with taking to someone else if it seems too stressful to you to attempt. Remember it's just wood and way more stuff on a guitar gets professionally repaired with super glue and toothpicks than you think. :D

I'm starting to like passives with the PA-2 booster circuit. You get the "Earthy" sound of passive but with the EMG boosted output.

The no cable patch works ok for the PC but it's not perfect. Ebay and Amazon were the only places I could find just the cable by itself. I finally bought a used copy of the original Rocksmith to get a cable. Have you tried finding someone on Ebay/Amazon that will ship to your country?

Yea, he's got that 1000 yard stare for sure! haha

the D-tunas are about 38$ on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/EVH-D-TUNA-Drop-Tuner-Floyd-Rose-BLACK-dtuna-NEW-/271443365433?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item3f33490e39

If it is a fender style you should be able to remove the strings and have a friend CAREFULLY bend the neck just enough to release tension and you can unscrew the nut all the way off with some needle nose pliers (or something similar) and get a replacement one online. Have you tried American sized allen keys? Sometimes it isn't a 4mm but a 3/16 or 7/32 even. 4mm and 5/32 are virtually identical so sometimes one strips out the other.
