So a customer and friend of mine sent me his Squier Tele Standard for a setup, it was a bit rusty and the strings were totally dead. Set it up nicely, Ernie Ball 10-46, polish and smooth everything out, did the nut slots a bit, pickup height, neck relief, cleaned the electronics, the whole...

Re: Incoming NGD: PRS S2 Fixed for you: PRS S2 Singlecut.

Received a LTD M100FM for a setup today, and it's mighty I gotta say. Excellent fretwork from factory, the pickups are alright, the Floyd Rose Special is solid and dependable, the finish is lovely, the neck is stable and fast, the playability is off the charts and it's just a very well rounded...

I really dig the Probucker 2 and 3 pickups in my Epi Les Paul Pro. Moderate output, a chimy top end, thick mids and very reasonable bass that doesn't get boomy or overbearing at all. I've had two of these Les Pauls and this one just sounds great, bright and cutting. Let's say I wanted to...

One of my guitars has quite a large burr on the 17th fret, right on top of the 2nd string. It's quite annoying as it ruins bends and playability. I'm no tech, although I wire and do the basic setup on my own and I'm comfortable with that. But I don't mess with frets or nuts at all, that's where...

Re: Show an amp..... Uglier than this 80s Peaveys were pretty depressing lookwise. They just look like some amp.

Re: Show an amp..... Uglier than this There's a market for that, I guess.

Re: Show an amp..... Uglier than this I don't want to get an infraction so I edited the picture a bit... The Metasonix ****ing ****er is ****ing ugly.

So there's this tiny channel in YouTube and they truly have something special in their hands. Short, precise pedal demos which aren't your typical display of knobs and sounds... rather, they're evocative works of art around the sound the pedal and the instruments create. Truly stunning and I've...

Most pro techs and guides usually point to very strict factory settings, which I mostly find useless. You see, I'm at heart a rhythm player. And I REALLY dislike fret buzz. You might call it pathological, even. But I like to hit my strings reasonably hard sometimes, my action at the bridge is...

Re: Kemper - what's the point? Guthrie Govan loves his BadCat amps but for the Hans Zimmer gigs he used a Kemper. Too many delicate instruments in that band, so it wasn't the time to rock out. That's quite a specific scenario, but there you go. Me? I'd probably be happy with one of these:

I've never owned one and I think I wanna buy one for my 34th. I'd be using it to boost my already crunchy Tweaker with my Les Paul. I think it would be cool since it's a vintage style amp and guitar combination, so why not add a classic cheap box in front and see what happens? I used to love a...

Re: A NGD I'm actually excited and happy about!! I'm glad to announce that the honeymoon is still going! It's been months since I've played any guitar for hours. I just wasn't that motivated anymore. The previous owner had this guitar professionally setup before selling it. The frets were...

As I've mentioned, I'm selling most of my gear since I don't play as much as I used to, and I can do with a few less instruments. Sold my G&L for a cheapo Ibanez RG plus cash, I wasn't crazy about that one but it's a decent guitar with some cool sounds here and there... And well, My Tele wasn't...

Due to financial troubles, I just sold my G&L Tribute Superhawk. As a partial payment, I got a 2002 Ibanez RG270, the only year it was made with a double-locking trem. Haven't had a Floyded guitar in almost 10 years, or an HSH. What can I say? I'd had no other serious offers for my G&L and the...
