New sticker today. I get that most people are very anti sticker, but I think Some guitars wear them well.

I hate them! They never work right, they always short out! Stupid! And I hate them! I got this guitar back in trade from my other guitarist.(My 3rd time owning it) It's always been terribly dark, have wired in a handful of pickups and pots.... I finally decided on a set of EMG 81 85. They are...

Guitar Max does some pretty good videos sometimes. But I thought this one was pretty special. It's a short.

I'm in the middle of wiring a set of EMG )81/85 set into a guitar and the wiring. Diagram im using says white wire to the toggle switch. BUT the white wires here have a core wire and then an outer mesh-wrapped wire.... I assume for a coil split? Anyhow. Which wire do I actually solder to the...

And recorded it all with just my phone. Depending on what you use for playback, the back line may be hot or soft. [https://soundcloud.com/goriath/something-for-nothing

First and foremost:I play metal.... only. Drop tuned, ugly metal...sometimes tight, and sometimes doomy and sludgy. I've been quite curious about the whole P90 "thang." I've never even played through one that I can recall. I've watched a handful of videos about "will the P90 do metal" with...

Just a quick video to show the differences in the switch settings in a high gain guitar application.

I've always wanted one of these, but never got one.... Hmmm Then damned Reverb showed me a completely naked one for a reasonable price tag... I made an offer and double checked my credit card limit. The guy bit on the offer. Here's her naked and being turned into the rockstar that she now is...

I am getting another LP in the mail next week. I am only going to wire in the bridge pickup and 1 volume. Everything else will be dummy and only there for aesthetics. My question is how does that get wired. Can Someone draw me the diagram for my single 500k pot?

Like I needed another cabinet! I made the mistake of stopping in a music store last week when I was dropping my amp off to my tech. Mom and pop shop where I bought my first Les Paul. They had a beat up Marshall 1960av cabinet on its side in the back room. I asked him out of...

Phantasmagoria I bought this off reverb as non functional. Turns out it was being switched from Russian 240v to North American 120v and someone either gave up on it or just whatever.... It sat in a warehouse in Canada for 13 years and someone found it and put it up on reverb. I emailed the...

Granted, most of the time I tune to Drop B, and I'm sure a lot of you guys tune other than standard. ​​​​​​ But Today I actually tuned a guitar A-432 after watching a short insta reel about how it's musically synergistic to be in A-432, whereas 440 is very dissonant. I adjusted my tuner to stay...

Just floating around in my head today.... Thought I'd share.

I used to have the BC Rich Jr V Deluxe. With OFR also Kerry Kings autograph on the back of the headstock. EMGs, Neck -thru full binding everywhere. That guitar slayed! I got rid of it and.... I've always wanted another, but... Prices have gone insane in the past few years... Well like an idiot...

Well today I just watched a couple YouTube videos on sanding or reshaping a neck. I figured I have this new (rather worn and rather inexpensive guitar sitting here that I really like, but only have one gripe, the neck is a bit chunky.) So! I dug out this DeWalt sander I forgot I had and just...
