    7 string guitar GAS. New Ibanez or build a strat like guitar

    Hey folks :confused: I'm for some reason wanting a 7 string to play that low b from time to time, although I'm an old guy (53).. I play mostly 80's music, but love Steve Vai, etc, and think for some of the stuff I'm doing on my originals I'd like to have that option to record with. Anyway...

    If you don't mind me asking, what kind of guitars do you have it in and what makes it so great or cool? I play a lot of 80's type stuff myself and 70's classic music such as John Sykes style / Thin Lizzy, etc,. and I'm wanting a really cool custom pickup for a couple guitars.. I've thought about...

    Agreed, I've played a lot of nice guitars in the past, not custom guitars, but factory guitars from the US/ Japan especially and I can say that the EVH brand of Peavey or MM are some of the best. The pickups and the guitars play great and I can see how he can use those things to make his...

    Thickening up tone on a superstrat

    I didn't' notice any output drop on my pickup but it did take off the high end brittle sound on the PAF pro in the bridge of a strat I think it was where I used the 250k pot value. Now I just use one bridge pickup most of the time in my guitars.. even taking the other one out because I think it...

    Thickening up tone on a superstrat

    I never thought about this, but that's a great idea. I had a PAF Pro in a guitar once that was a little too bright and I just changed out the volume pot to a 250k and it helped a lot. More than I expected. It was really nice. I might have to try a 1k ohm pot on a guitar that's a little dark to...

    Help me pick an acoustic in the $500-700 range

    We have a blueridge at work and it's ok. It's setup nice, and it's a nice looking acoustic. I don't know, but I think it's made in China. I just don't trust China made guitars yet, but that doesn't mean there not good! I just don't trust their lasting in the long run. The Seagull guitars are...

    Metal Tones With Blackstar HT-1

    Very cool man! Love it.. I'm an old school guy too, and don't normally like all the low end stuff I hear. But, this is cool! Some of the 8 string stuff is confusing to me,.. Why not just get a bass! hehe.. Cool man!

    Help me pick an acoustic in the $500-700 range

    Seagull. Made in Canada, and they have the best woods and neck for the money. I think there just as good as a taylor, etc, but not as well known. My brother has a couple of them and they are just great guitars. Owned by the same company that owns Godin and I think those electric guitars are way...

    Zakk, EVH, etc, Strap Rings and straps? Where to get?

    Thanks folks. I'm not sure I'll do it, but considering it on some of the guitars. I like the idea of the strap being able to rotate, etc, and move a little more freely was my original thinking.. I'm not sure it would work any better than a regular strap, but I have a couple cheapies I might try...

    Thickening up tone on a superstrat

    The Super 3 has less bass, but it has more mids and less treble, but more output.. I thought that this may solve his problem and still stay close to what he's trying to do. The Tone Zone is a better solution for sure though and I'm sure the breed is good too, I've just never used it. I...

    Thickening up tone on a superstrat

    If the thin sounding guitar has the Dimarzio Super D I'd try the Super 3.. That thing is so crunchy and beefy without being boomy or too loose on the low end. Hard to explain, but I think it adds some crunch and bottom end without sacrificing anything else.. Just a thought!

    Isn't it time for a Suhr Singlecut?

    I think it's a great idea. Especially if it's an original looking and feeling guitar..

    Zakk, EVH, etc, Strap Rings and straps? Where to get?

    Hi. Hey, I love the o rings or those screws guys put in there guitars but where does one get the straps that work with the same? I'm wondering how they go about this? I know they take out the strap buttons and replace it with one of the metal screw in things, but where do you get a strap that...

    Gotoh floyd drop in my charvel with schaler floyd?

    Yeah, works great. I read an article about it, and the article says it's not as good as the original because it uses zinc cast metal on some parts and they strip, and the knife edges are inserts and hardened, but on the OFR the whole baseplate is hardened, but I've had several people tell me...

    Gotoh floyd drop in my charvel with schaler floyd?

    No, some came with Schaller! I don't remember what year, but I knew the guy that bought this new! He got it in I think around 89, 90, or 91, so it's one of those years or one year before, according to the year he bought it, etc,. Stays in tune great. I took you folks advice and I took the trem...
