    NGD day

    Got this Carvin Contour 66 used from GC. So far, I'm loving it. Plays and sounds really good and is in pretty much mint condition. It has the Fishman piezo bridge but unfortunately it's not working. Never had a piezo, so I'm not sure whats the problem. Not sure how much I would use it anyway, so...

    What impulse responses do you recommend?

    I mainly play through bias fx and have tried a few ir's including york audio, 3 sigma, and ownhammer. Was wondering what you guys were using and if there were certain ones that might be worth checking out.

    Got my Carvin V220 but...

    Posted a thread where I ordered a Carvin V220 from GC used site and UPS delivered it to the wrong address. Neighbor across the street had it and gave it back to me the other day. When I opened the box and took it out of the case, it had significant damage on the body. I don't think it was...

    UPS ruined my incoming used guitar day

    I purchased a nice Carvin V220 off GC's used site and was pumped about getting it yesterday. I had the day off and when it started getting late, I checked the tracking number expecting it to be delayed because of high volume of deliveries. To my surprise, it said package was delivered and...

    Incoming used guitar

    Saw this on GC's used site and had to get it. Always wanted one and they don't pop up as often as they used to for a decent price. What do you think?

    Yes, another GC rant

    So, I was looking at the used guitars on GC's website and saw one I was interested in. It was listed as in good condition which under GC's definition means that it has scratches, dents, dings, etc on it. Of course the pics online do not show any of that so I called the store to ask about the...

    Acceptable blemish?

    Just wanted to get opinions on a b-stock item I purchased from EMG. I have purchased multiple b-stock pickups from EMG over the years and have been very happy with every purchase. All of the b-stock pickups I purchased had blems that were hardly noticeable. This last one I got the other day, not...

    Bad experience ordering guitar from Japan

    I ordered this guitar on Reverb from Ishibashi and after delivery I inspected the guitar and noticed there was a crack along the binding of the neck. I thought it was from having too much weight put on it during shipping. I took photos of the crack and contacted Ishibashi asking for a refund...

    NGD

    FGN NLS10RFM, nice guitar but it is heavier than I anticipated. The FGN alnico 5 pups don't sound bad but will probably swap them out down the road. Pretty impressed with it so far, definitely a keeper.

    Is there an interface that works better with active pickups?

    I currently have a Focusrite scarlett solo 3 gen and when I play through it using my eclipse guitars with EMG 81/85 and 57/66 pups it seems like its too hot of a signal going in the interface. I have the gain level pretty much all the way down on the focusrite, no clipping. I saw that IK...

    Gibson 498t lefty pickup?

    Was looking to get a Gibson 498t bridge pickup and saw one listed on Reverb as a lefty pickup from a SG. Since it came out of a left handed SG, does it matter? Was looking to put it in my SG but didn't know if there was a difference in the pole peices height, spacing, etc. I have never seen...

    Anyone try the EMG 24 volt mod?

    I decided to give it a shot on my ESP Eclipse but I think I like it better without the mod. Sounded pretty good playing cords but did not like it when picking single notes. Thought it made them muddy and fizzy, loss of clarity. Could be I need to find the sweet spot on pickup height, amp...

    First Jackson custom shop

    Just got this used at a killer deal. Didn't really want another shred guitar, but too good of a deal to pass on. I'll probably end up trading or selling it but for now, I'm enjoying it.
