Hello all, It's been a while since I've posted here since I haven't touched my axe in 5 years or so :) So I finally had the urge to pick it back up and fired up my good old Engl Powerball. But to my disappointment no sound was produced when I switched it to channel II (Hi gain). Channel I...

How would a guitar with a maple body and Limba neck sound, considering the guitar has a set-through neck? Will there be more of a limba sound or would the maple be the dominant tone in the guitar?

I just decided that I need a fender strat :D I 've been browsing through some second hand guitars and was wondering, is there a year of manufacture that I should avoid? So far I 've found strats (MIA standard) from 93, 97, 99 and 08... which one would be the best judging by the year only? (I...

Don't know if this really counts as something to put in tips and clips, but me and my band have just recorded a new song (we did the recording ourselves) and thought I 'd share it with you guys... all tips and comments are welcome :) Owyeah, before I forget: there are cookie monster vocals on...

Last night I had a discussion with a friend of mine, about string tension. He said that if you put Baritone strings on a regular guitar, the string tension is lower than if you put them on a baritone guitar. Is this true? it sounds kinda goofy if you ask me :) Edit: I kinda formulated it wrong...

In my search for a good practice amp, I 've narrowed it down to two amps: a cube 30x (or rx?) and a Vox ad15vtxl... Unfortunately I don't have the luxury to test them out, so could you guys help me decide? Thx

I currently own an engl powerball, which is a great amp for band practice and gigging, but it's a little too big (and loud) to practice at home... so I'm looking for a small metal amp to practice at home... I need something which comes close to the distortion I get from my powerball...

I have a rather silly dilemma going on... so I could use some help :) I play mainly metal, and at the moment I have 2 guitars set up to play metal, one of them a schecter hellraiser and the other is a tele. I'm planning on having a custom guitar build (which also will be used for metal). As a...

As some of you may know.... or not :D I 'm building a custom guitar and need some advice about what PUP's to use... The guitar is going to be a set-thru Limba/limba/ebony with floyd rose, a 26.5" scale and tuned to B standard. I really like the SH-6 in my Schecter Hellraiser...

It's been a while since I decided to get myself a custom guitar... I nearly have all the specs determined, the only thing which I 'm not sure of, is the shape of the body... I want the body to be something pointy, at the moment I 'm leaning towards an ESP AX kinda design. But since I 'm not...

So that would be me :D Mr. exnihilo nominated me to host the next well, and I was glad to accept... I 'm not really famous around here since I don't post that much (293 posts in 4 years :D)... I 'm usually lurking around here, like a shark does :) But I guess now it's time to surface, so...

Is there much difference in tone between the two?:scratchch

So, as stated in an earlier thread of mine, I decided to sell all my guitars and get a custom one.... the last week I 've been looking up all kinds of stuff and playing a lot of guitars, to determine the specs of this custom build.... anyhow, I decided to get a white limba body and neck with...

I'm not sure if the thread belongs here or in the soundroom but at this moment I 'm really playing with the thought of selling all my guitars (2:biglaugh:) and then use the money to build a custom guitar. I probably have around 3000$ when I sell them all. Should I go for it or not?

hello, I 'm thinking of putting in a pup myself, but I couldn't find the proper wiring diagram for my guitar, could someone help me? it's a tele with 2 humbuckers, 1 volume, 1 tone, 3 way switch and and a fase switch (I 'm planning on replacing the jazz neck with a DD neck) thx
