I think this usually retails new for about $400 USD? It was used at the music store where my kid takes voice lessons, but in great shape. Got them down from their price of $355 to $296 (well, I'm in Canada, so it was in Canadian dollars, but I'm listing everything here in USD equivalent). Funded...

Never thought I'd really enjoy playing lower than D in tuning, but here I am, having a ball, practicing some slower Behemoth and modern Slayer tunes in C#.

Didn't manage to play today but did give this gal some cleaning and polishing ahead of a setup and string change.

Not sure I'll be able to play today, but yesterday I did bust out the Sterling HSS Cutlass (Pearly Gates / Classic Stack Middle / Classic Stack Neck) to dig back into some funk.

Tonight, the Charvel Dinky (Full Shred / AP2) in satin black.

Les Paul, today.

Zero exaggeration...

Tweaked the metal settings on my newly purchased Katana Gen 3 100. Adjusted the bass end of the pickup to be a bit higher, plugged in, and wow. Instant Rust In Peace and Countdown To Extinction Megadeth at my fingertips. Everything I want the JB to be for heavy music: organic but detailed, nice...

This finally came today! Looking forward to plugging in and seeing the difference from my 1st gen Boss Katana 50.

If you play metal, do you have experience shaping your tone to get chugs out of a guitar with a Full Shred in the bridge? I like the chugs I can get from my other metal guitars (Nazgul and Black Winter), but I'd like a little more oomph from the FS. Any tips, EQ settings, tricks? It's a direct...

Basically what the title says. Grant Green is probably my favourite jazz guitar player of all time, so emulating his tone in any way -- particularly what he gets on Street of Dreams -- would be great. What neck and bridge hums would you choose for jazz, and why?

This beauty came yesterday. Full Shred and Alnico II Pro pickups. Pretty well-setup and playable out of the box. Strings don't even feel too old. I was concerned about the amount of treble in the FS, but so far, I'm pleased with the sound. Will probably need to tweak my metal settings to get a...

I've got my eye on a Charvel with this pickup / body combo, but I'm worried it will be too bright for the metal I want to use it for. The guitar also has direct-mount pickups, which means, if I understand correctly, that I can't play with the pickup height on either side, though I can adjust...

I have a Boss Katana 50 Gen 1 that I use and love. But I'm eyeing the new Boss Katana Gen 3 models that released recently. Anyone have experience going from Gen 1 to Gen 3? Are the Tube Logic enhancements perceptible and worthwhile? I'm intrigued by the new breakup channel, as well as stuff like...

I know it's not the most versatile pickup. But holy hell, what it does, it does really, really well. I've got it in a mahogany Schecter with a maple neck, tuned to E flat, running into a Boss Katana, and it just grinds so nicely. It's not even that hot a pickup compared to others in the metal...
