Re: Help me decide! If I'm not mistaken that's a 1994/1995 Washburn Mercury MG701. SCORE!!!!!! While these came stock with black Strat knobs, depending on the year, the Chicago-made ones had either black or matte chrome dome knobs: If I were you (and didn't like the Strat knobs) I'd go with...

Re: Check out this "tonewood" statement . . . OK, I find this debate entertaining as all heck so I might as well add my 0.02$. (Well, I DID post here back in 2007 but the statute of limitation is gone for that so... :D) I literally cannot tell you how many times I've heard the advice "if you...

Re: ‘01 a good MIM Strat year? Re: ‘01 a good MIM Strat year? This is my 2000 MiM Fender Strat, bought new in 2000 in various stages in her evolution. The frets were fairly soft and to this day are the only frets I have worn down simply by playing. The PUs were really bland and the tuners...

Re: Does this guitar look feminine to you? I'd rock it but I love Blue and Purple guitars and am the farthest thing from worried about my masculinity...

Re: Favorite Nonstandard Guitar Color? The answer should be plenty obvious to those who know me... Midnight Blue FTW! :headbang:

Re: NGD Ibanez RG550 I really truly feel for you, poor guy, being in need and having to play this, atrocious guitar in that god-awful color. I really feel for you. So much so that I have decided to be a Good Samaritan and relieve you of this, thing. I will be PMing you with information...

Re: The Official April 2K18 SDUGF Modding Contest Ok, what the heck, just for laughs I'm gonna post my NON-QUALIFYING would-be entry (failing rule no. 7 as all mods were performed by my tech). My Swing EZ-10: Originally saw this lowest-end model from a little-known Korean company named Swing...

Re: NOGD - Take Two (i.e. let's try this again!) BTW, this is the Strat she was supposed to look like: Even though he did not match it very well in real life the two are closer than what these photos might suggest. The color tone was mostly a match (and closer to the Strat photo than the ESP...

How time flies. A little under two years ago I posted a NGD about a black late '90s (probably '97 or '98) Japan ESP Horizon I had gotten on a trade for one of my three Washburn MGs: The guitar was originally a studio axe and it showed. Nicks, scratches, belt rash plus a couple of chips here...

Re: Any Love For Non-Fine Tuner Floyds? I agree with the part about the locking nut being more of a hassle than it should. Specifically I dislike how the strings become stiffer as a result of the string's part behind the nut being locked away plus, I hated how I'd bang my hand on them if I...

I am in the late stages of repainting and restoring a '97 ESP Horizon Standard and my tech and I are stumped on what the 5-way was for on a H-H guitar. I only played her for a little while and that was almost two years ago so I honestly don't remember what it did and he never knew. Any ideas...

My first guitar is a Fender 2000 MiM Strat which I've modded to the point where only the body and neck are stock anymore. Said guitar is due for new frets as the original ones are almost one with the fretboard but a refret has been put on the backburner for a few years now due to the fact that...

Re: NGD: another heretic Charvel First off, Happy New Guitar Day, hope the wife will forgive you for "doubling the fun", as it were :D As for the PU rings, with Zebra pickups the cream rings look better to me than black but with all-black pickups, between the two I'd choose the black rings...

Re: Oldest guitar you've ever owned? Played? Seen? - The oldest I've owned is the bellow Washburn MG-104 from 1993 Funny thing is that this beauty had been a NOS guitar until the previous owner, forum bro Ascension bought her in August 2008. I bought her from him in 2011. - Oldest I've seen...

Re: Which Of Your Guitars Has Seen The Most? There's two for me. The first is my first guitar, a 2000 MiM Strat which has gone through A LOT of changes over the years and at least 3 pickguards (and looking at no.4 next chance I get): I sometimes lovingly refer to her as my perpetual work in...
