I bought this P-Bass kit way back and now that I'm home for the holidays I'd like to finish her up. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be shaping the headstock and drilling holes for the bridge. I'm also going to order a cheap black pickguard for the final assembly. What I'm not sure what to do is how...

I'm looking around for something a bit more round, open, and even compared to the old JB that is in my Hamer Artist (24.75" Mahogany Semi Hollow) Don't get me wrong, the JB is nice. Only problem is that it's not as versitile for the type of music I play a lot of (Classic Rock, Blues Rock, Black...

Hey, I'm looking at replacing the JB currently sitting in my 1999 Hamer Artist 25th anniversary. All mahogany, partial semi hollow. 24.75" scale, 2 humbuckers, TOM bridge. I love the old 59' in the neck, so I want something that would pair well with it in the bridge. The JB is just not...

New guitar came in Tuesday after a long delay due to the mild weather some called a blizzard in atlanta. 1999 Hamer Artist 25th Anniversary (hopefully the picture works) Absolutely beautiful guitar, and plays awesome. The sound and feel reminds me of the best parts of an SG, Les Paul, and...

Im waiting on a 1999 Hamer Artist, and realized they might have pickups by a well regarded winder such as MJ. When where the last "production" JBJ and such wound?

Since i played around and removed a lot of unnecessary pedals from my every day rig, im falling in love again with my '09 Epiphone Les Paul Standard. The one thing that bugs me is he sticky, glossy neck finish. I kinda would like to dull it to a simi-satin kinda feel like my seagull. I want to...

Right now, im considering specing out a guitar from Chris Mitchell Guitars in Stateboro, Ga. Looking for that iconic humbucker vibe with this one. The Guitar is basically a mahogany with thicker maple cap and rosewood fretboard LP. Beautiful guitars, but i need to decide what Duncans to order...

S2 vs Core? I am looking to pick up my first all american guitar. PRS seems to make beautiful, lavish guitars with supurb necks and fretwork. I liked the S2 Custom 22 i played in a shop while i was on vacation over the summer. Very nice neck. I actually prefer the down to earth styles of...

Im looking at finally buying a second Les Paul style guitar (to put the term fairly loose) Needs to be American, Japanese, Canadian, or similar country as a general rule. Budget ranges, and is part of what i am still debating about. Defiantly under $2k, and thats a pretty much hard max...

My Jet City 20w combo (JCA2212) is a tad loud for use at home, and i am weighing my options to get a more open sound at a lower volume. The amp has a post-master effects loop, so i was thinking a volume pedal at the end of the loop could give a similar effect to a mini-mass. Cheaper for sure...

Im looking to clear up my boomy 59 in the neck, and get rid of the half chocked wah sound of the JB in the bridge. The guitar is a Epiphone les paul standard, with new 500k pots and some sort of nicer .022uf caps. Im kinda wanting a hot rodded les paul, as my next Axe will be a more classic...

Hey guys, some opinions are needed on these smaller guitar options. Im looking to maybe pick up a cheap, likely used guitar to take on vacations or anywhere i cant lug my Seagull around to. The Seagull is too large to fit in our car on family trips, and i always end up wanting to play during...

Man these things rock! $95, 20min of minimal stress, some new strings, and a can of coke later...and my old 05 Squire Affinity strat has gone from a buzzy, harsh mess to sweet, creamy, and smooth. It sounds like a strat should sound like now! My only complaint is that the block is threaded for...

My Jet City JCA2212 (20w 2 chanel combo) is too loud at anything above "1" on the master volume, and lacks a line out for quiet (direct) recording to my PC like my Modeler has. The recording comes second to the volume problem. The Weber mini mass looks to be able to give me both easily...

Has anyone else had problems with D'addario's NYXL strings breaking? I just installed a fresh set of NYXL 10s on my Epiphone to try them out, and BAM..two strings die on their way to pitch. (High e and b) i had to put some left over normal 10s in their place. Never had a problem with normal 10s...
