Hey guys, what is the best way to record a typical metal band live? I'm saying 2 guitars, 1 bass, 1 singer, up to 3 backup vocalists, 1 drummer with a decent sized kit, and a keyboardist? I figure it's through the soundboard on a PA, but I don't know the ins and outs, so any help would be...

Hey guys I recently upgraded my Floyd Rose system with some big block upgrades and I bought the brass claw plate. I tried soldering it myself but I still get a massive humming when playing through distortion. My guess is that there isn't really a contact point with the ground wire and the brass...

So I was playing with my strat today and noticed the reason why my D string sounded so twangy was because I have fretbuzz on it, all throughout the neck except for the last fret. So how do I raise the saddle to eliminate the fret buzz? It's the only string that has it.

What the heck? Anyone know about this? http://www.guitarcenter.com/-i1130129.gc

Hey guys I have no idea how Power Amps work, but what kind would I need for this Marshall Cab? http://www.guitarcenter.com/Marshall-1960AV-or-1960BV-280W-4x12-Guitar-Speaker-Cabinet-100133044-i1177438.gc I've got a Boss GT-8 that serves as a pre-amp that I want to run straight through this...

Hey guys I need help with a quick question. I have a 2005 Les Paul Studio and I want to slap a Tonepros bridge and tailpiece in it but I don't know what size I need. I need it in gold so if someone could let me know if I need large or small posts that would be great :) Here's a link to the...

So I only have one amp and I leave it at the rehearsal space for my band I often find that I would like to play guitar through an amplifier at my house. That being said, I have a really nice gaming computer and I was wondering if there was any way I could play guitar through my computer? What...

I must admit, after the recent thread about the $10,000 Parker Fly, I want one. I went through their website and I'm GASing! Post if you have fly GAS!

Feel free to comment on their overall sound, playability, and construction too :D

So I have a Stratocaster with a maple neck color that looks like the strat in the first pic, but I want to dye it or something to make it look darker, like in the second pic. Any ideas on how to do it? I don't want it to affect the sound.

Just like regular single coils have replaceable covers, I was wondering if seymour duncan produces replacements pickup covers for their Hot Rails pickups for stratocaster?

So I use a BOSS GT-8 for my tone which I run through a Marshall Valvestate Combo Amp, and I've decided I want to run it straight through a cabinet, but I was wondering since I have no experience with cabs, how would I power it? Does it come with a cord, do I have to buy a power supply or what...

So, for just about every metal, or "shred" oriented guitar advertised or built, there seems to be a popular notion and popularity of thin guitar necks, as often advertised will "play fast" and whatnot- Honestly, I love the feeling of baseball bat necks and I've never felt that the thickness...

SO I'm pretty sure someone has made this thread already, but post pics of yours and describe it's tonal qualities, characteristics, etc... ALSO: If you've happened to play a Les Paul Standard and a Les Paul Studio, compare both! Don't forget to mention whether or not your Les Paul is chambered.

Yeah in know, another v. thread. Well, I've always been a fan of Gibson guitars, but I see ESP makes alot of really cool copies and the obvious difference I see is that ESP's are more oriented for Metal and heavier music. I was wondering if in terms of quality, tone, playability, and...
