I have never played a 7 strings guitar and I think it is time to buy one. It happens that two guys nearby home are selling theirs. An Ibanez rg7321 and a schecter damien 7 élite. Both are in good shape, the price is reasonable and I can’t decide on wihch one pulling the trigger. Generally...

Hi That's my Vgs eruption pro, bought brand new for less than 500 euro in July 2006. Mahogany body and neck, fingerboard in plastic similar to Gibson richlite (it seems ebony if you are not too close to it). It came with pgn/custom custom combo. But I wanted a guitar with active pickups so badly...

And finally my brand new guitar arrived. Well, in truth, it's used but in mint condition. I got an ibanez AZ224F in brown topaz burst. And I couldn't be more happy. Despite its indonesian origin, the overall quality is really high. The fretwork is good (at the same level of the MIM wolfgang)...

Last month, my guitar teacher lent me his ibanez az224f. I liked it so much that I decided to buy one. The guitar will arrive next week. Unfortunately all the guitar electronics that were lent to me have been replaced. So I couldn't try the hyperion (hss). Does anyone have experience with these...

My Guitar tech gave me two Russian-made pio capacitors k40y-9 022uF. I've never used any of those. My favorites are orange drop. I would like to know what differences there are between these capacitors and Orange drops, and if it is true that they are less reliable in terms of durability than...

Pleasant reading https://www.dimarzio.com/stories/birth-super-distortion The Super distortion is the only non seymour duncan pickup ever installed in one of my guitars. 50 years has passed since its release and it is argument of thousands of posts. In 2023 is there still place for such...

Hi I got rid of an old ephipone sg lately. From. It I took out the pickups: a late 70s super distortion and an early 80s dp103. I don't want them remaining in the drawer and so I'd like to put them in my prs custom 24 se. The guitar is inherently bright and maybe a custom custom /Alnico 2 pro...

Hi just arrived my brand new guitar: evh wolfgang special in surf green. Great feeling with it but it seems have an issue with factory installed d-tuna. I followed step by step the process to tune the strings but I am not able to have the 6 string with the E. I mean I tune the 6 string to D with...

Hi I have a Schecter km6 (first release) and I’d like to sell it. need money (and space) to buy a total different instrument. I bought it brand new 4 years ago. No issues to report. The guitar is completely stock and in mint condition. What is in your opinion a fair price for it? Trying to have...

Hi I've read about this new PRS pickups and I would like to know more about them. Introduced in 2020, first on Paul's guitar, now it seems a variety of models have them him, in particular 85/15 (regular and S series) loaded guitar. The acronym means "tuned capacitance and inductance" and the...

I have this 59 . I'm not able to date it. I've always thought the L at the end was the initial of Lydia Daniel (if I'm not wrong) aka the winder of this particular pickup (I have a bridge 59 with the J too). This story about the Leesona machine makes this pickup more interesting to me.

Hi I kindly ask your help to identify the neck pick up of my new guitar. Recently I bought a used epiphone sg deluxe upgraded by the former owner. According to him it was equipped with a dimarzio SD in the bridge and a not specified paf in the neck, dated end of 70s. I bought the guitar on the...

Hi And at the end Gibson realised a les paul custom silverburst as a replica of the guitar played by Adam Jones. If you look at the specs you will surprisingly find a custombucker in the neck and a custom wound seymour duncan DDJ, that I suppose stands for duncan distortion wound by MJ. I have...

Hi, I am searching for a little amp (within 20w). Actually I need it for training. A friend of mine has an orange crush 20.he wants to get rid of it, and I can get it for a ridiculous price. Any thoughts about it?

A friend of mine bought this guitar a couple of days ago from thomann https://dangelicoguitars.com/guitars/deluxe-series/deluxe-atlantic/#DADATLAGGS Looking at the specs, the pickups in it are custom Seymour Duncan DA 59's. Do you know what DA stands for? They are regular 59's or not?
