Re: What was your first Duncan? My first Duncan was installed in 2004 which was a Custom Shop Floor Black & Red SH6 Distortion Bridge in my long gone ESP LTD MH1000. The Distortion was the best part of an otherwise plastic like, inspiration deflating, abalone laden atrocity, aka the LTD Deluxe...

Re: NGD!! An unexpected opportunity! PRS content... Here's a pic of my long gone Whale Blue 10 Top Custom 24 with a very rare Hardtail Bridge. It also had the Regular Neck Carve which was the only thing I didn't quite get on with because of the narrower 1 5/8 nut width ( I'm a tall dude... 6'5...

Currently my Avatar Partial open back 2x12 has a Vintage 30 and a G12H30. This pairing really does sound good but honestly just for sh!ts and giggles I want to try something from Eminence or WGS. Speaker swapping really gets overlooked, instead of going the pickup swapping route, I figured lets...

Re: Padauk homemade rock monster Padauk is so bad@ss!!!. This Washburn USA Padauk Custom Idol from Boogie Street Guitars started my GAS to own a guitar made from Padauk wood. I can't believe it's been 7 years since they put out the limited run of 50 Padauk Idols. I have to keep my eye out on...

Re: School me on Takamine Acoustics I played a Takamine GN51CE-BSB at my local candy store. Its a looker and played great BUT it lacked mids and projection. It felt like the finish was so thick that it sounded muffled. I even had one of the dudes behind the counter play a few chords on it to...

Re: what guitar PICK do you use? Dunlop? Tortex? Ultex? JazzIII? or ??? Dunlop Jazz III XL's for me. They're just the right size for my tastes. I've tried to like the Regular Jazz III's but they are just too small for my fingers and can't get past it. I like the glossy finish the regular jazz...

Re: Must Haves for Metal Guitarist's pedalboard Wow....don't know where the time went. I was at the December 5th Damage Plan Show at Northern Lights in Clifton Park, NY. Shadows Fall was the opener...what a show. I'm just glad I was able to see it. There was one moment during the show that had...

Re: Rock and metal guys what strings are you using? For my Guitars set for Drop C Tuning I use D'Addario EXL-117 because they're affordable, have just the right amount of String Tension IMO for that particular tuning (can't stand floppy tension but I immensely despise having to fight a string...

Re: String gauge for C tuning? Haha another Necro thread...ahh F*** it... I'll bite. What I use for Drop C or D standard on 25.5 scale Necks: IMO I don't like the feel of Piano Wires for strings and these hold up just fine without sacrificing bend-ability.

Re: Which piece would you buy back? (sold sold sold) I've bought and sold countless guitars...some to make a profit if the price I bought it for was low, some I couldn't gel with, and some for financial reasons. The only one that comes to mind that I wish I could have held onto but needed to...
