    Adam,
    The 5000 is widely viewed as the cream of the crop in the Beast line.
    I have 3 of the BST, you can check them out at
    www.gretschbeast.blogspot.com
    If you are looking for more specific info, just let me know and I'll
    try to help. The BST's have developed quite a following, they are
    highly under-rated in my opinion. I have played guitars costing
    thousands more, but the BST's beat most hands down.

    I got the guitar in the mail about a week ago. It came freshly setup
    with a set of 9s, which is my gauge of choice. However, this guitar
    seems like it would benefit with heavier wound strings; I'm gonna buy a
    pack of 10s, and re-string the E,A and D to see if that helps at all. I
    also noticed that the action is really low. I was wondering how you set
    up your BST 5000. I figure you might have some tips, seeing that you own
    all the different Beast models.

    Thanks,
    -Adam

    Okey. Hope this group is still active :D do you guys know the listing price when the beast 5000 was new?

    I feel like a tomb raider :) I´ve been thinking of selling my bst-5000 but... The more i play on it the more i really realize what a good guitar it is, especially for the money you pay.
