    How much would you spend on a guitar...

    I’ve bought two guitars upward of 3k and I’ve disliked/didn’t get along with both. I currently have a soft cap of 2400, which I think still allows me to buy cool stuff (Kaizen, Knaggs, Prestige), but keeps me away from making worse financial decisions (3k relic’ed Novo).

    Turnstile - Holiday

    Really happy for this band and their success. Nonstop Feeling and Glow On were both solid records. Haven't listened to Never Enough.

    What's that t-shape with the reverse headstock? @D-Rock I love cheap schecters.

    This code didn’t work for me unfortunately. I’ll try again later. They have a guitar I’m interested in, hmmm. WELCOMETOCCM worked for 10%

    Line 6 Helix Stadium Hype Check

    I moved it from one room to another and actually used it for about an hour, plugged it into my computer and actually tested the recording functionality lol. I wish I wasn't so intimidated by its format and learning curve to get it up and running. But I should really sit down with it.

    I dusted off my Helix Floor the other day, does that count?

    Got my first Ibanez/RG and took it to rehearsal today

    I loved how this played. It felt great overall and definitely punched above its weight class (at least when compared to the other guitars in my rotation).

    Got my first Ibanez/RG and took it to rehearsal today

    Gibson will always be home to me. I played a Les Paul exclusively for about 10 years and then got an ES-335. These 25.5 shredders are foreign to me, but this one played amazing.

    Got my first Ibanez/RG and took it to rehearsal today

    Yeah for sure. I don’t do my own setups though and will eventually take it to my guy for a 60 dollar string change lol - nut slot, intonate, truss rod adjustment, etc. The wide neck took a small amount of time to adjust to. It was the first thing I noticed when I sat down with the guitar. My...

    My tips on how to restring a guitar correctly

    Put string through tuning machine. Bend string. Turn tuning machine. I hold the excess string down onto the headstock, but it still goes above my winds. I've never done any knot nonsense.

    Got my first Ibanez/RG and took it to rehearsal today

    I got a really great deal on an Ibanez RG5121 Prestige at Guitar Center, of all places, yesterday. It's my first Ibanez and I'm really pleased. I don't consider myself a shredder by any stretch of the means (just ask @Techdeth how our lessons went lol), but I do play with some gain when I'm with...

    Youtuber you would rather hang out with

    Geargasms 100%. That dude is corny and knows it and that's totally fine.

    Gear you just cannot get along with, despite numerous attempts?

    I re-read what I wrote several times and I'm wondering why I think everyone needs that strat sound. I def won't be recording with it lol. But I don't mind the quack.

    One guitar to rule them all

    Fair. I really doubt they'll come close to how versatile the Kaizen is (the pickups are a dream).

    How can Tech use this amp without death ( please help )

    Ahh shit, my friend has an old amp with a two-prong cord. He's been meaning to take it to get rewired. I assume most places that work on stereos and TVs and electronics can probably get that sorted.

    Gear you just cannot get along with, despite numerous attempts?

    I never had a Tele growing up and when I got back into playing and buying gear several years ago, I thought I was missing something. I bought an Esquire, a Mexican Tele, a G&L ASAT, and some other T-shaped piece of shit. They're just not for me. SSS Strats. I think every guitarist should have...
