    New SG day!

    I've been GAS-ing for an SG for quite a while. Yesterday while I was scouring some Vietnamese guitar forum for a new practice amp, I saw this guy reducing the price on an ebony japanese epiphone SG with open-book headstock. He lived 15 minutes away from me so I made an appointment to see the...

    My friend has really sweat palms - part II

    So as some of you guys may remember, a few months ago I made a thread about my friend with extremely corrosive sweat and how that killed his bridge pickup. Well, the guy now wants to sell that guitar, so I've taken it in for a setup and cleaning. Here's a sneak peek: I'll post more pics when...

    I was lurking on the evilbay and stumbled upon a seller who's selling stuffs off a parts bin for a store that went out of business. I bidded really low on some pickups and fortunately won an old style dimarzio in immaculate condition, with no sticker or label whatsoever. I have no clue what...

    body joint and sustain?

    hi guys, I'm looking to buy a body for my strat neck, and after talking with my tech he told me that I should avoid bodies where two pieces of the body are joined nearer to the center as that will give the body poor sustain compared to bodies where the joint is nearer to the sides. do you guys...

    NGD, my first strat!

    Recently, I started playing in a pop band so I've been looking at used fenders on ebay. At first I was planning to buy a tele because I'm a big guy and I like guitars with bigger bodies, but I then saw a black fsr strat with a matching headstock, a lil 59' in the neck and tone zone in the...
