I know I haven't been around much, started working again, and between that and school? Man, is amazing how little time I have to sit on my arse in front of the computer all day now!! :lmao: So with all this like-juice being shot all over Agile guitars for their quality-vs-price, I did some...

...to walk into your local music shop for a set of Martin strings and have somebody you've known and trusted for years introduce you to a guitar you've never seen and are blown away by. They had a used AS73 Artcore that I asked about - being that recently I have coveted my friend's Epi Dot, and...

There is a lightly used Epi LP Custom with SD custom 5 bridge and Pearly Gates neck at the local shop here for $300 with HSC. Have been wanting to get into the LP sound for a while now but am on a budget, and it plays really nicely. $300 for a decent guitar isn't much. After reading through a...

I've been posting questions and searching for different POVs on this board for some time now, and have been taking it all in. I've also been saving about $6/wk for a project Warmoth, which means that you will have to put up the questions and mind-changing at the drop of a hat for at least the...

I've reading around the internet, and from what I've found, a flat-top guitar is more bass and low-end freq response in the tone while a carved top has a better high end. Is that it? Pricewise, there's a huge jump from a flat to a carved top, but what are the other factors? Take a LP, for...

How crazy of an idea is it to change the fretboard on a Gibby solid-body where you can't replace the neck? I have a friend of mine who builds guitar with a sweet Brian England ebony/abalone fretboard he said he'd give me, is the same nut width as the Epi Dot I'm about ten days from buying. I...

OK, before I pull the trigger on buying a body I found on Ebay, a Wilk VS100 will fit the posts to a standard Fender 2-pt trem, but the routing won't allow full motion, and the VS401 - if I can find one - fits the std 2-pt posts AND rout? Is all that mess correct? So I would have to modify the...

I've read what they have written on their website about the differences, does anyone have a chambered strat body or a link to where I can physically hear one? How much of a difference does it really make having it routed with the lam top as opposed to a solid-body? Am not sure the extra cost is...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280530458187 Part of me thinks that at $240 now, it would allow me to buy the parts as I have the money instead of all at once, and if I were to buy a new Epi LP I'd just have to change out the electrics anyways, not to mention this way I could...

can somebody please tell how at the :12 mark those taps are done with the pick, and what I'm doing wrong? Am trying to learn this solo, is one of my favs, but for some reason whenever I try that, it sounds really tinny and you can hear the string popping back. Have watched about fifteen...

Have been reading on here and on ReRanch pretty much all afternoon, and I want to do a simple 3-color paint scheme with clear shot over top. I can buy all the filler, colors, and clear for well under $100 or pay 5x (or more) to have it done. So for those of you that have done this yourself at...

I've only owned SS amps. Had some crappy ones, had some I think were pretty good. $500 is pretty much the most I would ever spend on an amp, I don't have much $$ and don't gig, but what are some good tube amps for around or under $500? Been looking at used 80s Carvins and new Blackhearts, but...

Have been thinking about this a shload lately, and I think since I've been wanting to custom make my own guitar for the last year or so, as hooked as I've always been on Gibsons and as common as I find strats, that this is what I am now planning on going through with... H-X-H Mahogany Strat...

In a basswood strat body bridge position, 5 Custom, or 11 Custom Custom? Am leaning more towards the CC right now... I might pair it with a neck single coil, I might not - not entirely sure yet. Neck is maple with rosewood fretboard. Am pretty much a Gibson player, so looking for something to...

So when I went to buy my first-ever electric guitar, I narrowed it down to two in my local shop (meaning the ONLY local shop) that I really liked, a brand new tobacco burst Fernandes Strat for $325 with a Fender HSC, and a lightly used Fender '69 Coronado for $700 with no case. I ended up buying...
