PM me with prices/clips. Yes, I am after THAT tone.

Hi all, Has anyone had any experience with Jim Surles custom shop guitars? Not much on the 'net on Jim except he worked in San Francisco but is now retired? Kind Regards, Vincent

...Online? I am looking for one for my Les Paul.

Hi all, Thinking of either further upgrading my Ibanez Jem with a big brass block or simply selling it and purchasing another superstrat. Problem is - just about every guitar manufacturer has their own version of a floyd equipped double humbucking superstrat and I need some recommendations as...

I am after 1 of each. Pm me pls :)

Hi all, I bought a Gibson 1959 LP reissue (1999 model) that came with stock Seth lovers (bridge and neck). Seths The main issue I had with the seths is that they squealed at medium to high gain settings. Great for classic rock sounds and they sounded very 'open' and allowed the tone of the...

Hi all, There are a few guys on the 'bay selling Duncans that were made specifically for the Washburn factory. They look legit and have the right logos etc. Anyone have any experience with them? They are a fair bit cheaper than buying retail. REgards, Vince

Neck positions in black. Nickel covers ok... must be willing to post to Australia. I pay postage of course. Will do paypal. Cheers, Vincent

Hi all, Please help me on my search for my next rock guitar. Arrange the following guitars in order of brightness (1 - dark sounding to 10 - very bright sounding). EBMM Axis PRS Custom 24 PRS CE24 Fender Strat with floyd and H-H config PRS Mccarty Peavey Wolfgang EBMM Petrucci (non BFR) Gibson...

I don't know if you've experienced this, but I've owned a 59 Les Paul reissue for some time now (2 yrs) and had it set up when I got it with relatively low action and with a top wrap. By low I mean slightly lower than what I have on my Ibanez Jem. I got into the habit of playing my electrics...

Hi all, Okay I've tried the PRS custom 24 and I've listened to a few clips of a CE24 and a McCarty. Pretty convinced that its a toss up between the Custom or the CE. Had a bit of a hunt on ebay and it looks like the CE series are much cheaper than the Custom series. Is that because the wood...

Hi all, I'm looking for a PRS Custom 22/24. Colour/top/birds not really important, but the guitar must be very resonant. I am after a trem-equipped version, preferably one with the 3 way switch (non rotary). I'm located in Australia so seller must be willing to post there. I'll pay for...

Hi all, After 6 years of trying to bond with my Ibanez Jem 7vwh, its time to move on. Didn't quite like the tone of the evolution buckers, changed them out for Breeds, added in an ESP arming adjuster but it still doesn't sound quite right. This is going to be my shred axe, which of the three...

As you all know, I'm seriously gassing for either one of these. Can anyone tell me the differences in sound of the bolt-on CE series compared to the set-neck Customs? I know there are a lot of varying opinions out there based on rules of thumb (e.g. set-neck = more sustain, bolt-ons sound...

Hi all, I'm seriously GAS-ing for a PRS Custom 22/24 as a quasi-replacement for my Ibanez Jem that i've outgrown. Purchasing from Australia locally isn't really an option as PRS guitars are seriously expensive here and I doubt we would get the pick of the bunch anyway. That said I've played a...
