A few of you may remember a thread I posted awhile back about my lust for an Epiphone Thunderhorse Explorer as well as a custom metal pickguard for it. Well, I'm buying both of them. I'm so excited, I couldn't wait to post this thread. Right now, this will be my only explorer. Pics when she...

Re: Replacing a Floyd Rose. Suggestions? I think you guys are misunderstanding me. I don't want a hard-tail, I just want a bridge that has the same feel to the saddles that a hard-tail does. That's a picture of the Floyd. Here's my strat. See how on the strat trem, the saddles are raised...

I dislike Floyds. So I'm getting rid of the one on my LTD. Problem is, I have no clue what to replace it with. I'm mostly a hard-tail guy, and vastly prefer the feel of the saddles on hard-tails, and vintage style trems. And I just don't have use for any sort of tremolo. However, I don't want to...

If you had to choose one amp to do everything you need, and well, what would choose? No pedals, just straight into the amp. If I had to pick, I'd say a VHT Sig:X. Every time I've gotten my hands on that amp, I've been blown away at how it responded to everything I threw at it. Close runner up...

Just saw this on the Dunlop site... Looks like a re-skinned version of the Bonamassa signature custom shop pedal. What do you guys think?

Just saw these on the Gibson site. Either I missed something, or they flew way under the radar. Either way, they aren't half bad looking. Not priced too bad either. I dig the Explorer.

I've been GASing for a Quick Rod real bad lately. I know I'd love the amp, but there are a few things holding back. I definitely don't need a full 100 watts. For that reason, I'm considering a Competition, which is 50w and single channel. I wouldn't hesitate if it had a clean channel, but...

So lately I can't stop thinking about trying some out. The only Dimarzio pickup I have experience with is the Super D, which I do like a lot. I've shied away from trying anymore, because most of their pickups seem geared more towards progressive, shred-y stuff, which I am just not that into. The...

So I guess Gibson is putting diamonds in their guitars now. From the Gibson Facebook page: Huge waste of time and money in my opinion. Who seriously has enough disposable income for these? I can hardly afford an LP Standard as it is.

These three brands are what I consider the benchmark for good pedals, at low prices. Yes, I realize that many other pedals exist, but for the sake of comparison, let's keep it t these three brands. So, let the games begin. I figure we should split this in a few categories. First, OD, dist...

Re: Will this EMG wiring diagram work for blackouts????

Yep, again. My incredible dad surprised me with a brand new guitar today. Just a coincidence that this is an LTD as well. MH103QM. The quilted maple veneer is hard to make out, but it's there, and looks great. What a lucky guy I am.

A bit after the fact, but I figured I'd wait until the holidays died down a bit. ESP LTD Viper-256 Christmas gift I bought for myself. Paid $350 for it, and couldn't be happier. Merry Christmas guys!!

Do you find one GREAT sound for one guitar, your #1, go-to guitar, or do you find a tone that sounds really good with several guitars, but is just shy of tonal nirvana? I usually go for the latter, as nobody except me is going to notice the difference, and I like to play 2-3 guitars a gig...

So I really like Vintage 30s. They sound and feel great to me when paired up with the right amp. However, they don't don't always work with every amp. They have that upper mid thing going on that doesn't always go over well with brighter amps. So my question is, what is a nice speaker that has...
