    Is the Orange Rocker 15 (combo) loud enough to play over drums unmiced while (reasona

    I played it at a local store at a low-ish volume l loved the tone. However, I need it to play over a drummer, and I sometimes play cleans. I don't need it to sound crystal-clear transistor amp clean, but at very least I need to be on the edge of breakup while in band practice. Sent from my...

    Why are the 2017 LP Tributes so cheap?

    http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LPTR17SGNH A gold top LP with no cut corners for under $1,000 new seems a little too good to be true. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What kind of finish (if any) did original strat necks have (satin, gloss, etc)?

    Just curious. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rocker switch vs toggle switch?

    Which do you prefer? I like toggles. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How does the Spaceman Orion compare to a '63 unit?

    While the '63 reverb probably sounds a little better, does that justify the extra size when I'm not doing surf or anything where I would be cranking it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Why do Gibson pickups cost so much?

    No seriously, why? Burstbuckers are $175 and an Angus Young signature model is $190! You could get your own custom model at Seymour Duncan for less. Why are they so pricey?

    Les Paul Studio vs SG?

    I play metal, hard rock and classic rock. I'm leaning towards the SG because it seems to be a lighter, double-cut, brighter LP, which is a good thing. Are there any advantages of an LP? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Why don't they make SG standards in more than two colors?

    I love SGs, but why do they only make 'em in two colors? Is it because they invest more in LPs? Or some other reason? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Why are Mexican Strats cheaper?

    I am considering buying a strat, and I want to know why the Mexican ones are cheaper. I know they're high quality, but is it because of wages/conditions, or something else? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pre-CBS era HSS strat?

    My friend says he saw one, but (for obvious reasons) I was skeptical. I looked online, but couldn't find any. Is he lying? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    LP Studio vs HSS strat?

    I have $600-700 to spend, and can and will buy used. I'm willing to change pickups (so long as it fits my budget) and I am in no rush to buy a guitar. I play traditional metal and stoner rock as well as classic rock. Think the Sword, Sabbath, Zepplein, Hendrix, and Maiden. Sent from my iPhone...

    BK Black Dog vs SD Custom 5?

    I want something on the bright side (this is for an LP into an orange tiny terror) that is vintage-voiced but also overwound/fairly high output. I play Zeppelin and Hendrix (classic rock) as well as traditional and stoner metal (iron maiden, sabbath, the sword, kyuss, red fang.) I'd also like it...

    Tiny Terror + LP studio + c5/phat cat mix = ?

    So after carefully narrowing down my options, I have decided that I will invest in a Tiny Terror and a (gib) LP studio. However, for pickups, how would a phat cat in the neck and a custom 5 in the bridge sound for Jimi Hendrix sounds, as well as classic rock, zepplein, and...

    How would a DSL401 sound with el34s?

    Would it sound more "marshally"? Because the amp is made in England and cheaper than the dsl40, I'd prefer it but I've heard it wouldn't sound as good as the dsl40. So if it had el34s, how would it sound? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    First tube combo amp

    I know there have been tons of threads on this, but I have no idea where to start. I play traditional metal, "light" stoner rock (the sword, red fang, etc), and hard/classic rock. I'm looking at Marshalls, voxes, oranges, blackstars, egnators and peavey amps, but like I said I don't know where...
