I'm relieved not to see any "Oh, that axe..." posts, and it certainly feels great in my hands. It's only been a day but I'm completely in love already. :D
The three bands that really attract me to electric right now are System of a Down, Tool, and Deftones. I was recommended Ernie Ball Skinny Top Heavy Bottom nickel wound with this in mind, but I still have the original strings on there now.
I also picked up some GHS Fast Fret, which has been handy.
I suck, and I'll probably always suck, but if ever stop sucking, and start talking about how good I am all the time, I encourage you to punch me in the head.
