It's such a racket. I stopped selling on Ebay because of it.
I sold a medium format camera & lens last year for $3,300. They sent a 1099k showing I made the full $3,300. After fees/shipping $2700+/- was direct deposited into my bank account. I had to dig for the form showing I profited $600...
He doesn't like the guitar. Block him. Not worth your time. Like I said before 90% of RGs from that era (and even newer ones) will have that crack. It's only a matter of time. At this point it's just something I expect with those guitars, especially if they've been gigged and not babied. Those...
Which specific RG is that? Tilt joint bolt on joints from Ibanez RGs are notorious for cracking in that specific spot. 9 times out of 10 it's a tension crack and mostly in the finish. Nearly every single Ibanez RG and JEM (12+) that I've owned with those joints had those cracks. Some have been...
Or do Lessons. Tons of working musicians depend on doing lessons all the way from big acts to smaller venue guys. He could make a decent bit just by offering individual lessons and teach about shit from technique, dialing in tone, setting up gear, touring, etc..

I love some of those bands like Architects, Bleed From Within and Sylosis, but Sylosis is probably the only tone I'd feel comfortable playing. Some of that other stuff is heavily catered towards real low tuned stuff and doesn't sound good outside of those tunings.
That being said, this album...
I believe Tim Pierce used IIC+'s with Rick Springfield, so probably "Beat of the Drum", "Tao" and maybe "Rock Life". Not a great metal example, but general rock, great cleans and killer leads.
Tokyo Rig Pack Vol. 1 by Masahiro 'Godspeed' Aoki. He used a Bogner 212CB. He's got 60 IRs with a 25W Greenback and another 60 IRs with a V30 with all different types of microphones at different angles/distances. I think it's only $6.79, too.

I voted in 6 polls. I made 1 comment. I suddently regret my forum social anxiety. I'm gonna puke. Not because of my shitty contribution, but because I ate one of those frozen Chinese meals about 10 minutes ago.
Don't get me wrong. They are monster amps, I just think the $10k hype is ridiculous. That being said I captured my SRG, DRG and HG at multiple settings and they are the main captures I use. HG in 60 watts super high gained out and then a DRG Class AB Clean. Best of both worlds and I'm not...
That's awesome. I want a white one too, I haven't been able to find a white chibson yet. Some of these stores pop up and disappear within a few months. ☠️ Where did you get that logo made?
I do repairs out of a retail store and I've seen the same trend. Custom Shop Les Pauls come in with...
Which model is that? I had an RG2680M, which is sort of halfway between a Prestige and a J-Custom. It had an Ultra neck profile, which felt really fat by Ibanez standards. I ended up selling mine because I like the paper thin necks, but you might be into checking out some Ibanez guitars with the...
The nice thing about EMGs is that it sounds just as mean as any other guitar with EMGs in it :ROFLMAO:

For the price, yes. It's a one trick pony amp. It can do some of the most harmonically rich gain and it can do some of the most magical crystal cleans (DRG), but it can't do both. The gain depends on the clean volume knob, and there's no good way to dial both in. It's an outdated amp and the...
I got this one on Ali-Express. Looks like the price went up a tiny bit.
There's a Hetfield type MX knock off up for grabs close to me and I've been thinking about grabbing it. Just waiting for them to drop the price

New (old) Guitar Day - Chibson Explorer.
I picked this up a few months ago for exactly $290.88. Waited about 3 weeks and stressed out when it was held in customs, and here it is. Overall the state it arrives in is complete trash. The frets felt like shit and were unleveled. The pickups read...
