    Help me build a pedalboard for ~$500

    I'm thinking OD, fuzz, delay, reverb, and money permitting, a wildcard pedal. Could be a Whammy, something ethereal sounding, a synthy thing, a pure noise device, whatever. Hell, maybe a second delay. For ODs, I've always liked the original Bluesbreaker from Marshall. Sold mine for a good...

    I realized that last time I posted my NGD, I never came back to post my own photos.

    A couple of years back, I placed the order, and just posted the images straight from The Music Zoo. That violates some form of guitar forum NGD rule. So I'm back, and here's my '59 reissue Strat in Faded Sonic Blue. I may not visit the forum at all these days, but I learned so much about guitars...

    Converse comes out with a pair of Chucks with a built-in wah pedal.

    http://www.guitarplayer.com/effects/1018/new-converse-all-wah-sneaker-has-a-built-in-wah-pedal/58573 Will have wired and wireless operation, some sources say only 23 pairs will be made, but I haven't seen any official announcement on quantity or availability. At first I thought it was a prank...

    NGD: American Vintage '59 Stratocaster Faded Sonic Blue

    What you came here for first. So, like I said last time I posted, I was looking at an AVRI '62 and a CS '69 Relic. I decided to just wait for a while. While it used to be a huge part of my life, I haven't played guitar consistently in the last 4 or 5 years, so sinking a buttload of money on...

    Price check on Custom Shop Strat

    Sorry, if it wasn't because I haven't been active in the guitar world for about 5 years or more I wouldn't be asking this question. So, for the last couple of months I've been having this thought about starting to play again. I gave my little brother my trusty Strat and sold off all of my gear...

    Favorite bridge humbucker for HSS Strat?

    I've had Strats since day one, so I've tried several. Since I'm contemplating selling my Ibanez Prestige I'm thinking of getting an HSS Strat (I'm never changing the pickups in my SSS Strat, those go to the grave with me) but I'm kind of running through the setups I've tried to think about what...

    Are Antiquity humbucker coils aged? Or is it only the cover?

    Cosmetically I mean.

    NGD - Ibanez Prestige RG1421F

    It's pretty late, I might take some better shots tomorrow after I give it a setup, the action is kinda high right now. The Tight End. I'm still not 100% sure if I'll keep it but this thing is like most Prestige Ibanez guitars I've had in my hands...fit and finish is perfect.

    Who here has given up on hardcases and mostly relies on gig bags?

    For local transportation at least. I never check my guitars in flights, but if I had to I'd be glad to have a flight case made out of adamantium. I just bought a Fender Metro gig bag because I was sick of carrying a hardcase. I can use the gig bag like a backpack and free up my hands to carry...

    Need help picking a Floyd Rose nut width.

    What Floyd Rose nut width would I need for a 1.6875”/43mm MIJ Jackson RR24M? R3 or R4? The neck is bound if that makes a difference.

    Tell me about your dirt cheap guitar projects.

    I'm talking about those "I saw this guy on CL selling a wrecked guitar for next to nothing/someone handed me this beat up guitar and now it's in tip top playable shape" projects. I'm considering one just for fun.

    Nobody's talked about Fender's personality cards yet?

    This is how you bring modding to the masses if you ask me. i7QcyxZvwvo&feature=player_embedded

    Which color pickups look best on a boring black shredstick?

    I'm thinking either green, zebra, white or gray. Gray's a bit too subtle and green's a bit too Vai. I'm thinking maybe white will do the trick. What do you guys think?

    Lowest price you've seen on a mint MIM Strat?

    I spotted a local one for $200, probably will take a look later today but I've never seen one that cheap in any decent condition. Cheapest I've bought before has been $250, and that was when everyone was dumping their gear 4 years ago. What's the lowest you've seen in your neck of the woods?

    Truss rod won't loosen.

    So, I have this steel string acoustic guitar I haven't touched in some time. Last time I strung it up I may have gone with lighter strings than usual, because there's almost no relief. It's not back-bowed though, just checked. So I tried to loosen the rod, it moved less than 1/8 of a turn and...
