It should have come with sunglasses. But I was prepared. Tl'dr; it's an Aristides, it's quite different from their other models, it's cool in its own right, and the pickup + guitar's natural loudness mean it a LOUD mother with a huge sound. New patches required on all my amps. This is...

Yeaaah in spite of my best effort to downsize (I have 6 guitars for sale, with more to come), it turns out I can NOT resist a great guitar. Weirdly, this is because I enjoy the instrument itself almost as much as I like to play them. A well-designed, solidly-built guitar which brings something...

Yeah I've been on a bit of a streak recently. I got me a Tom Anderson (did an NGD already), Parker Fly, and part-trades a couple of guitars for that Suhr. Oh and I got that Mermet, pre-ordered an Aristides 060s, ordered a Sankey, and finalized some specs on a Waghorn. Adulting skills = NONE...

Re: NGD! Tom Anderson Angel Ask and ye shall receive :) I split them between shred/80s, Modern, and Vintage but you'll see those are loose definitions. This also doesn't include what I plan on selling (Kiesel AM6, Kiesel V6, 2 x Reiver Kompact, MusicMan JPX-7 and MusicMan Valentine PDN, and...

Yeah it's honestly hard to find the words here. So let's start with a thousand of them, in picture form. Apologies for the potatoes. I hadn't wiped her down to not show smudges, and I live in a city where 'sun' is strictly a June -> September occurrence. Hence it's all flash or ISO1250. So...

Re: Lets see those pedal boards you are using right now. Current board, carrying all the pedals required for 'my' tones. The Empress has a loop, all pedals in the loop are wired with the same cable. Tuner is out of the signal chain. The Empress is also my end-of-board boost. It also acts as...

This NGD will be a lot shorter than my other posts on here, for one very simple reason: what you see is what you get. This is a Suhr Modern Custom. It has virtually none of the specs I would have gone for if I had to spec one brand new, but it cost less than $2k, so what the heck. SPECS! *...

Re: Post your Swiss Army guitars. I've still not found a single guitar more versatile than the Music Man Albert Lee HH. Since I first got one, I never not had one but for a tiny period of time when it got stolen. I love these guitars...

Sooooo I accidentally another guitar. I wanted a 'practice' guitar to play in front of the PC. It had to be compact, loud enough to hear over a movie by virtue of sounding loud and clear acoustically, and be lightweight. I have a Reiver Kompact headless which is a SUPER cool guitar plugged in...

I played a friend's KxK about a year's back and it was quite impressive. It was also heavy as hell, and a 7 string, so I needed something else; but it did leave an impression on me. Cue that 6DC that's been on Reverb a couple of times over the past year...

This is going to be a tough review. Not because the guitar is bad; and in fact let me get this out of the way right now, this thing KICKS ASS. But, it IS a pre-production, prototype model, and I paid accordingly. Whatever follows, simply keep this in mind. Having lived in Scotland a while...

I like the idea of guitars which are different: more forward-looking, more ergonomic, more viable ecologically... anything goes really. If it's innovative, I'll look into it. Hence last year I got my first Aristides, a fairly nondescript 060 in satin Deep Sky Blue with Barkenuckles. The only...

First thing first, the dealer was great to deal with and supplied cool goodies in the case. Much appreciated :) Guitar arrived safe and sound, though I am baffled that the case was packed without any sort of protective material in the box from MusicMan. Second; this guitar's original ETA was...

Is that feasible outside of the custom shop?

The typed fields have a character limit, but there is no countdown. How does this help? Shouldn't this be replaced by a more user-friendly, larger text-box? Or is this just not feasible? If so, adding tick-boxes would remove the need for typing a description of the guitar altogether (similar to...
