Been wanting one of these for a while, and finally got one today! Ibanez's answer to the 6 string bass concept, the SRC6MS. It's my first fan fret instrument, which was surprisingly easy to get to grips with. It helps that the instrument was set up well out of the box, nice neat fret ends too...

I don't always get GAS from them (mainly as they are all price on asking!) but whenever I think of 'too much bling', I always think of Jens Ritter's guitars. (Apparently model number 3 of the second guitar in this post is owned by Lady Gaga....)

Hi everybody, it's story time. So a few years back on this forum I asked what tools a person needed to build a guitar. After receiving the replies (mostly saying to take lessons or just don't because I obviously have no clue what I'm doing) I deleted the thread and sulked for a bit. After...

Ok, so this is basically something I want to hear people's experience of. I went guitar shopping with a friend yesterday (he wants to start playing bass, and I am always up for guitar store browsing!) and while taking a break from the basses to think I stumbled upon one of the sandblasted swamp...

Re: Post your main guitar My Dean Custom 550. This is an old(ish) pic, I swapped out the EMGs for blackouts a while ago and made this thing a whole lot better. Of the two guitars I currently have, this is the go to instrument.

Hi everyone, it's a standard 'looking for a pickup' type thread. Here are the specs of the guitar: wenge neck, korina/limba (whatever you want to call it, it's all the same) body, thru neck and hardtail bridge. Pickups are passive, 2 humbuckers. Guitar is in progress at the minute so has no...

Hi everyone, I know it isn't uncommon to hear of bridge pickups in the neck position of a guitar, but has anyone tried putting the pegasus bridge there? I'm thinking that it might be quite a cool idea, given how it is advertised as being incredibly articulate. What are your thoughts?

To owners/ people who've tried one What are they like? Just tell me everything you can about them as I am currently getting a bit obsessed and unfortunately cannot try one out myself at the moment. I'm mainly asking as I don't want to just purchase on impulse (despite what my brain keeps...

Hi people, I've been looking recently at a Laney IRT60H, but I have a problem. It would seem that no matter how hard I look, people who demo this amp never play on a 6-string in standard tuning. I like to play metal that isn't downtuned, and I currently am too busy to go and have a look at the...

Hi people, I've been playing electric guitar for about 2 years now (so im barely out of nappies really) and have played only strat shaped guitars. I want to have a guitar of a different shape, just for the variety and am wondering to what shape would be the best transition? (It's not really...

Hi people, Ive bought some cool rails and have yet to install them due to geographical reasons. Anyway, how do these rails sound in standard tuning, drop D and drop C? I want to know about these for an alder bodied guitar with rosewood fretboard and maple neck. Cheers!

When I was in a guitar playing slump (we've all been there) I read an article from John Petrucci saying about filing your practice exercises. That way you can pick something to practice everyday, and the mixture will keep you stimulated. So I decided to fill a book with exercises. Here is what...
