    Over-adjusting a truss-rod?

    Hey there, Last night I decided to adjust my truss-rod to accomodate for lower action and such, but it didn't work out to plan as much. I'm in fear that I over-adjusted it and thus I loosened the strings until I bring it to a shop(sometime in the next couple days) would this be alright? To...

    flabby distortion?

    I just bought a '86 Mesa/Boogie Mark III and re-tubed the preamp section with Mesa/Boogie 12AX7s. I'm getting some pretty sweet sounds out of it though it sounds pretty ugly when I turn the lead drive up near 10, similar to what a squier 15 watt champ amp sounds on the distortion channel. I want...

    Suggestions for a S2170FW?

    Hey there, I got my guitar a little while ago and I'm not really into the dimarzio/IBZ stock pups that came with it. Any suggestions for a H/S/H mahogany bodied guitar? I'm looking for something really balanced and smooth, similar to Kiko Loureiro's tone (of Angra.) He uses a a Custom5 in the...

However theres an abrupt "gain spike" in the sweep now, I have no idea what it is. :S If anyone could help me solve or point me in the right direction of the problem that'd be great, the...

    Crapped out pots?

    Hey, hey, I just ordered in a new pup, it's... Uh, a Dimarzio X2N, yeah compliments to my SD. I threw it in but no sound, I followed the instructions clearly, the red and white together on the left lug on the volume pot, and the black, green and bares on the ground, basically I just soldered the...

    Picking and fretting speed

    Heya, I'm curious to know if it's normal for the fretting hand to be generally faster than the picking hand, for example I do a lot of hammerons and pulloffs to voice my leads and licks, picking the first and last note, it's a habit I guess. But is it a normal one? Should one rely on hammering...
