I swear by fixed bridge guitars but lately I have been really GASing for a classic shred machine with a Floyd. Not looking to break the bank so even if it's a reissue, that works. My options so far have been the EVH striped, LTD Lynch reissues, older Kramers etc. I don't know a ton about floyds...

I wanna add a floyd shredder to the arsenal. I know this forum has a love for EVH and many of you guys own or have owned many of his products so I wanted to ask about the EVH Striped series "circles" guitar because there's a fella selling one in mint condition near me for about $500 or so. It...

I was wondering what the difference between the STERLING (pre-SUB) silo30 and the newer SUB by Sterling Silo30 is. I was told the Sterling (pre-SUB) is kind of like a MIM Fender and the newer SUB line is more of a Squier I am considering a Sterling (pre SUB) Silhouette Silo30 for about $300...

Looking for a high output non-stacked single coil for my tele in the bridge position. I have checked out clips for the bareknuckle piledriver and the Dimarzio hot T but I don't have much of a clue when it comes to hot bridge single coils because I have always avoided them.

I know there's some serious Charvel fans in here and I was looking at a guitar and thought I would ask about it. What's the story on the Charvel Pro Mod San Dimas HS? Worth $800 or so? Is it a versatile guitar? Give me the info! I would in theory be swapping out the bridge pickup for...

I see so much Lynch, EVH, Aldrich etc etc worship in here but almost zero chatter about Paul Gilbert. 80's super hero? Check, immense skills? Check, lots of gear nerding? Check... he passes the RT checklist so let's bring the Gilbert fans into play here. I will begin by posting a couple of my...

I wanted to mess around with some new software I got so I did a cover of Dio's "rainbow in the dark". The mix is rough and be gentle on the solo as I pretty much only started playing actual lead like a year ago or less. I know some might not like that I messed around with it and changed stuff...

I am not a Van Halen fan as a whole, but I love Eddie Van Halen's playing, tone and some of the songs. One song has tone that gets me every time and that's "humans being". Does anyone know the exact settings and gear that he was using on that tune? There's the clean tone, the rhythm and the...

I saw this today and had to laugh my ass off. Phil and some guy, drunk doing an interview. http://youtu.be/ED9EQ0Azres

The other guitarist in my band is rocking a JCM 800 unmodded. He has always used a Boss OD1 but prior to this band he's mostly played rock / thrashy stuff and now he is in need of a little more juice because we are playing death metal. His OD1 bit the dust this week so now he is in the market...

I'm not really a PRS guy but this guitar seems pretty damn sweet. http://geargods.net/news/prs-limited-edition-dustie-waring-signature-guitar/

So I am looking to load something I haven't tried into one of my guitars. I will be playing low tuned metal on this guitar. Can I get opinions on the following pickups from you guys. Dimarzio Evolution Dimarzio Dominion Dimarzio Titan Seymour Duncan Custom 5 Seymour Duncan Distortion

I'm not sure who if anyone on RT is into Swede death metal monsters Bloodbath but they have a new album coming out with a new singer and they released a new track today. The new singer is Nick Holmes from Paradise Lost and their old singers include Mikael Akerfeldt from Opeth (prior to the...

Now that this amp has been out for a bit and become less of a mystery I am curious about it. The price tag isn't too bad and I am pretty interested in giving one a whirl but the local Randall dealer said they wouldn't be getting one in for the show room and would only be able to get them if I...

Picked this up for a great price, pickups are going to be a nazgul/sentient combo in a couple days. I've been wanting one of these for a while. Next up is a PGM301 I hope.

I was just listening to some Lost Horizon and being bummed out that they broke up. Got me thinking about all the bands that broke up before their prime was hit or before they were recognized fully. List away. Check these guys out if you wanna hear one of the best power metal bands ever to have...

I have been eyeing these up for a little while now but it seems like there's not a whole lot of reviews kicking around. The crowd around these parts seems to know most things about most things with quality so what's up with these guitars?

I have been working pretty hard to become a better lead player and I am more interested in legato than sweeping even though sweeping has it's place in my heart. I know there's a ton of very talented players in here and likely a lot of guys that can shred the shit out of legato runs. Point me in...

Anyone else reading about the drama with the owner of VIK guitars and all the homophobia etc etc? What do you all think?

I like to think that I can find the good in near any music but pop "country" to me is just useless drivel being made for masses of complete idiots. Where did country specifically go wrong? When did Willie, Hank, Waylon, George, Charlie, Johnny and others turn into useless shit like Luke Bryan...
