So, I work at a gas station, and a regular customer came in today, saw my guitar sitting in the corner, and offered to give me an old guitar he had that he bought for his kids that they never used. I've had people offer me guitars before, and a lot of the time they never actually come through...

I was playing earlier on my V22 and I was curious... When you have to use your amp at a lower volume, or I guess even at a higher volume, is it better to set the master volume really high or at the max and keep the preamp volume lower, or is it better to keep the preamp volume high or maxed and...

I just got my first Big Muff pedal yesterday, its the green text one with tone bypass and wicker switch. It sounds absolutely amazing through the clean channel on my amp (Bugera V22 head into Bugera 1x12 cab), but if I switch over to the crunch channel, even with the least amount of gain...

OK, I was just reading a few articles on this guys website (I get annoyed more and more as I read them) and came across this: http://menga.net/how-long-does-it-take-to-break-in-a-guitar-pickup Is there any truth to this as all? I could understand the magnet settling as the pickup gets older...

Does anyone have any idea why thermistors would be used in a delay pedal? There are two in this Rocktek ADR-02 delay pedal I have, and I can't think of any possible reason for them. I'm sure there IS a reason that I am overlooking, but then again I'm just getting into reading and building...

OK, so I have this fairly crappy Squier Affinity Strat that I bought for like $60. The main reason I got it was just for a beater strat, as I don't have any others, and I started out on strats, being the only thing I played the first 5 or so years when I started. It also came with a Duncan...

For instance, I know on some amps, v2 is the gain stage. I have a Bugera V22 and I want to get some new tubes, and I am wondering which tube position does what. For those that don't know, the V22 has 3 12ax7s and 2 el84s. I am probably going to go with JJs on all spots, but I may get some other...

Hello everyone, I was just in my local music store and found this in their used section: Normally I would have chalked it up to being some no name off branded junk guitar, but they had it for sale for $530 bucks. Anyone have any ideas of what it could be? It has no serial number, no brand...

Happy Easter everyone. I have someone who wants to trade a Modern Player Tele (This pickup style...

I've been looking everywhere for a es-335 PRO pickguard, as I bought mine used and someone had removed and lost it. I've found plenty for the Epi and Gibson Dots, as well as the Gibson 335s, does anyone know if any of these will fit?

And Ben Reagan was playing a really nice looking Silverburst Agile. It kinda surprised me. Most of the other punk bands that played seemed to be using various Gibson Les Pauls, but that Agile sounded really, really good coming through the JCM800 half stack.

Ladies and gentleman, I give you the world's first IBZ10 head... It is the first because no one else would even bother building it. This is only the start of it, I will be closing it up so it looks more professional, but I'm not super worried about how it looks, nor do I want to spend a ton...

http://asheville.craigslist.org/msg/4932661883.html I was thinking about buying this guitar as I really need one with p90s, but it seems like too good of a deal? Anyone see any obvious problems I'm missing? I have absolutely zero experience with PRS guitars.

I was cruising Craigslist about 2 weeks ago when I came across this guitar for a good price, and quickly messaged the guy with interest in buying it. For about a week, we just couldn't get the timing right to meet up in the city near me, about 40 minutes away, and I had pretty much given up hope...

I'm kinda wishing I had spent another $40 and gotten the 2x12 cab. Sounds AMAZING. I wish I had gotten to spend more than 30 minutes with it before I had to go to work. I will do a full video review as soon as I get the time. This is my very first tube amp, now I see what all the fuss is about.
