Since we have moved into the house last month, I have been laying my guitars down on or in their cases when not playing them. I am not sure what I will do with them once I get the room done the way I want to do it, ie hang them up on simple hangers, some sort of framed display, etc. But...

We just went under contract for a new to us house and moving just over a month and realized I do not have a case that fits one of my guitars. Looking for suggestions for a decent inexpensive gig bag. When we move, Ill be the one actually moving my guitar gear, so I dont have to worry about...

Been thinking about adding a bass to the collection. I mentioned something about it this morn to the wife earlier today that there were a couple cpl I was looking at at my local shop. Little while later she says put your shoes on, ok, we walk out to the car and she says we are going to get you...

Is this a legit TB-5. Few things look off to me, flat black coil, dull screws and pole pieces, the pict of the back side has a holographic Seymour Duncan sticker, no engraving om the back plate either. Oh and its $59 vs $99 for a new TB-5 four conductor Im not looking to buy it, trying to help...

Ive always liked the idea of what an A2 brings to the party, so sat down Friday eve and swapped out the A5 dor RC A2sin both a JB and a 59n I have in my LTD M1000. 59n I think is a definite improvement for me, really like the sweetness it adds to the pickup. Need to do a bit more tweaking to...

Just watched a video by Brian Wampler introducing a limited run germanium dioded Tumnus. Same size as the smaller Tumnus, man that sounds nice. Already on backorder and it his vid just came out 4 hrs ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jqXzzwxoO4

Ive noticed lately my Jubilee wasnt sounding quite right, kinda harsh and lacked gain. I pulled the back of it off and gave the pre-amp tubes a tap with a pencil, the tube furthest from the power switch was ringing through the speaker, ok cool, maybe I have a bad tube. I swapped a couple of the...

If you had to pick a Super Distortion or an AT-1, which would you choose and why. Sell me on one or the other.

Here is my M400, Im sure they are the same guitar, yours is just painted where mine is natural

Im trying to figure out what, if anything I can do with one of my guitars, its an ESP LTD M-400M, it has absolutely no life to it what so ever. When I received the guitar, new, it came with a Custom 5/Jazz set and at the time I thought I was just not gelling with the C5, so I ordered a Black...

Was just at my local shop and they have a used Ibanez Paul Gilbert FRM300PR in the shop, price for me is reallly hard to pass up but there is something in question, both the shop and myself recognize, may or may not be an issue. Basically from where the fretboard meets the head stock down about...

Looks like SD has opened up there own Reverb shop and are posting unique winds up for same, like the Colassol Incatation. 3 ceramic mags, stud pole pieces in each coil, wound by MJ herself Seymour Duncan Colossal Incantation Humbucker Bridge - REVERB EXCLUSIVE - 2023 - Black...

I currently have a Black Winter bridge paired with a Jazz neck, although I dont mind the Jazz neck, I am thinking about adding a Black Winter neck to the guitar to match the bridge. With that I'm pondering replacing the regular volume pot with a push pull volume to run both pickups in either...

So been playing around doing some real basic recording through my Headrush MX5, it probably sucks but I have playing the riff. Recorded it using my LTD M1000 with a JB on tracks 1 and 3 and my Iceman on track 2 through a couple different amps in the MX5. Please ignore the sloppy playing...
