Excuse the poor quality of the diagram

What do I need to know about parlor guitars? I've always preferred the sound of smaller acoustics, but parlors seem to be their own world.

Experimenting with halloween colors.

This looks like it would make the E strings have very low volume. In the world of guitar, there is a cultural issue where a large section of people think your value as a guitar player is tied to your ability to hear little things. So if pickup makers design a pickup that claims to fix this minor...

Any of y'all heard of this? There's a company out there saying you need a slower tuner for lower notes. I think that's silly, but then again I've never tried it

Been wanting one of these for a while as a fuzztortion, and one came up on Reverb in a cool color at a good price. It doesn't sound nearly as much like a Rat as everyone tells you it does. The reissue version that I have claims to have tweaked the tone stack to thicken it up. I do like how...

Oh man, that is a neat guitar. But may I present to you the mockup you inspired me to make of the FF7 LP Jr:

I was goofing around on my guitar while I was waiting for my computer, and idly came up with a cool sound. Was playing clean with a little bit of solado energy I did it in G minor originally I-iidim-iv-i

Decided to take a picture of all the guitars I have out of their cases currently. Everything is in standard tuning except the bass is in Drop D and the EVH is in C# Left to right is Bullet Squier with Lace Sensors, stock PRS CE, Epi Bonamassa with Dimarzios, EVH 78 with DMZ ADMs, and stock...

Get Mr. Rocker a black BFG. Put some spinoff of a JB in the bridge, and overwind the P90 within an inch of its life Granted, I may be projecting a little

Yesterday I went to visit my nephew, who happens to live right next to the PRS factory. We went through and did a tour, which was very cool in and of itself. Theirs a lot of mythos that goes around guitar building, so it was cool to have a guide, the COO, who was very down to earth about it...

Not my picture, but when I get home I'm gonna whale into my Sola Sound MK3/4 Hybrid Tonebender. It's essentially two silicon clean boost slamming the mess out of a poor NOS OC140 germanium transistor. It's the missing link between the Tonebender and Big Muff

What's you guys thoughts on Univibes? Three simple questions: What is your Univibe of choice? How do you use it? Are you an opticoupler purist or does any old phaser with a 10:1 ratio do? I for one use an MXR Univibe. So that answers #3: no I don't have a "true" vibe. I've heard people all...

Playing some pseudo-soleá on the split neck pickup of my Mustang. For how much I like the Deathbucker, I think I like the Sabretooth even more.

Just for fun you could try Broadcaster wiring: If you don't like the neck sound all that much, I have a variation I can pull up that is: 1- Neck 2- Bridge with the neck blended in 3- Bridge cocked wah
