    Hendrix Monterey Strat sees light of day....

    That's an awesome video! Just thinking though...just because it was Jimi's doesn't mean it's automatically a great sounding / playing guitar. He could have bought a POS sounding one not realizing or knowing any better. Would people still think it sounded great when in fact, it didn't? The mind...

    What’s your favorite lead boost volume tool?

    I use an MXR Mini Booster in the loop of my DSL-40CR for the small gigs I'm playing now. Works great.

    Sometimes when I'm playing live, I'm fretting so hard, it's a wonder I don't snap the neck! lol. I need to learn to relax a little....

    EVH Harmonics

    How on earth was Eddie able to make all of those tapped harmonics pop out loud and clear? I been trying off and on for decades and I can't figure it out. Sometimes I can and sometimes I can't. I wan't to be able to do it every single time with no effort like Ed did. My band is learning Dance...

    Bright Les Paul, Need a Pickup - JB v Super Distortion v Duncan Custom v Marshallhead mk2 v 57 Classic (stock) v Rebel Yell

    I had a super D in my Les Paul (bridge) and it sounded really good- nice and fat. My LP also is on the brighter side. I have a Dimarzio 36th Ann. in it now and that's Ok but I might put the super D back in.

    Gibson... Really?

    Here's mine. It's a 1984 Artist Series. Paid 400 bucks for it back around 94 or 95. It was originally an ugly purple sunburst. I painted it with about 10 small cans of Testors metallic red model paint. lol Oh and I made the pickguard. It originally was the model that didn't have one. The toggle...

    NGD: 1985 Norlin Les Paul Custom (Update!!!!!!)

    Awesome guitar & congrats! I have a Norlin 1980 LP standard and I love it. It has three piece plain maple top. It does NOT have a pancake body, its a solid 10.2 lbs piece of wood. I hardly ever see any with a pancake body.... Mine has "SECOND" stampled on the back, under the serial # but...

    Why is setting up a Floyd Rose so hard for some people ?

    I had them starting back around 1984 when I got my Kramer Focus 4000. I always decked the bridge flat against the body (because EVH did) and adjusted the neck straight prior to stringing and never had any problems. It's a little time consuming loosening and tightening during the intonation...

    W/D/W - whats your setup ?

    I use a Bray LO-1 like this: Amp (Marshall Superlead) line out with LO-1 - Delay - Reverb - Marshall DSL40CR FX Loop Return. I like to have the delay and reverb mixed in with the dry signal so it's not 100% wet. Sounds awesome.

    Yet another EVH Magic Pickup Spec Thread. With Some Debunking

    Wow! nice. I don't know shit as far as how magnets sound but you sure do! I guess if I were to make pickups and try different ones, I would notice the difference as well. I always thought the claim that his pickup was dead or open was total BS also. Either the person who was taking the...

    IR Question

    What exactly is an IR (impulse response)? Is it just another name for a real pre-recorded amp simulation? How and why would I use them? Are they primarily used for recording? Thanks!

    Wet / Dry Set - Up Question

    yes I want to adjust both balanced volumes simultaneously with the Superleads's master. Won't the DSL's wet volume get cut off depending where it's master volume is set? Ithough maybe dime the DSL's master but then I would have to adjust the line out and that could weaken the line level signal?
