My humble assortment.

Now that I actually have the 8 string put together, I'll see about putting up a pic later tonight.

My next purchase is definitely going to be a LP Studio Pro, probably this baby:

Of course, if I had an extra 5 grand to toss around, I'd pick one of these up:

LP Standards are the best. Tried them all. The Deluxe's and stuff are pretty much a waste of money and don't even sound like a LP due to having different woods, etc.

Anyone knows how to setup a floyd rose tremolo? It´s irritating af

ynrozturk · « **Reply #54 on:** Fri, 12 September 2014, 17:04:17 »

I do. What kind of problems are you having? Where do you need help?

Edit : Watch this, it'll help -

When changing strings on a Floyd, be sure to do it one at a time unless the neck needs maintenance and/or deep cleaning.

Thinking of making a down payment for a custom Skervesen guitar. Will probably go with a walnut top, like this :

Thanks but I let my music shop do the work

Was only 50$ so I was like meh. Ty anyways, and that guitar looks ballin!

No problem, though it's a good skill to learn. And really, only the first time is hard. Then it's a walk in the park.

Picked up a 1993 Limited Edition Gibson SG today. Sounds absolutely amazing.

Agreed... But coming from a prospective builder's perspective more than a player's. All current Gibby's except the Standard and the custom shop examples have the short neck tenon. Here is a bit of a horror pic to illustrate why that may not be an awesome thing:

This is just one example of the fact that you get a whole lot less than what you pay for with most Gibsons nowadays.

For some, they sound good enough and the name is enough to sell the guitar. For others, you have to search long and hard to find one that both feels and plays right for you.

I'm very happy with my "cheap" ripoff copy (the '73 Ibanez 2350 Custom), thank you very much. Got it for a steal, too. Almost literally. I lent out my Strat copy which got "misplaced" and the borrower replaced it with this for me. Wouldn't replace it with anything from Gibson's current lineup except perhaps for a custom shop job.

Ibanez 2350 customs (Ibanez lawsuit Les Paul) are awesome. I bought one from my cousin years ago. One of my favorite guitars.

NECRO BUMP

This came in today:

And can I just say that EverTune bridges are some serious straight up black magic voodoo sh*t. I literally cannot get this thing to go out of tune.

She's a beaut. I have a Floyd Rose locking system on one of my Ibanez's. I thought I would never buy another guitar without one until I went to re-string it :p

Oh god I just re-strung my Dean w/ Floyd a couple days ago... there's that guitar only gets new strings about every 3-4 months

I used to have a really rad collection of late 80's/early 90's Ibanez guitars. I only believed in blue guitars with maple fretboards. I sold them all a while back and got a PRS CU24 which I haven't managed to get a good picture of. Kind of regret it

2013 SG Standard. Had it for a little over 2 years now. One of these days I'm gonna lay out all my gear and take some nice pictures.

Thinking about investing in a serious guitar, have been looking at suhr but I'd really want an ESP sec 280dt which they don't make anymore afaik

Do you guys have any suggestions?

If you're looking at Suhr's, also take a look at Tom Anderson guitars, they're just as good if not better than Suhr, heavily debated. What kind of specs are you looking for and what kind of amp are ya playing out of?

My current amp is garbage, so I'm thinking of DIY'ing a JTM 45+, but also open to suggestions on that

A JTM45+ would be fun as hell to build, excellent amps. If you didn't want to mess around with putting stuff together, I'd keep an eye peeled on craigslist for a Plexi, like a 1987x/JMP little 50w. It's a little more aggressive, better crunch from the solid state rectifier. Either way you'd be pretty set with either. What kind of music do you jam out to?

Also.. I'm expecting a high quality amp tomorrow.. So I thought I'd make some high quality cables

bar chords are a ***** and a half, there's no real way to get around it. What I found helps is to use light strings (on electrics I would use .8's, those are the lightest you can find most places) and then just work my finger strength up from there. Another solution to that, if they're still to heavy or you don't want to get new strings, is to tune a half step lower. From there you can gradually increase your string gauge/ tune normally.

Here's a pic of my guitars. Charvel CX291 MIJ on the left, I think those ran during the 90's and were lower end guitars. Ibanez RG7621 '99 on the right, MIJ as well. It's been heavily modded and isn't in the greatest shape but most of the damage was done to the body which doesn't affect playability too badly. Still sounds fantastic and plays like a dream.

I don't think I could sustain both hobbies simultaneously. I still play but I got out of the guitar GASing around 2008 and went to cars, and from cars to mechanical keyboards, from there to cameras, and then back again to mechanical keyboards haha.

Nice choice, mate. I have a Custom Shop Agile AL3100/Les Paul. Made with all the specs I'd ever want out of a Les Paul type guitar. Really excellent guitar for the value, can't say enough good things about it. Even the stock pickups are decent. I usually swap everything out for EMGs, but I left the stock ones in.

Definitely worth the money they cost. I'm really wanting to go custom for my next guitar. Not sure if I'll go Agile again or Carvin/Kiesel.

Looks like they opened up the custom shop all the time now? I got mine back in 2011-2012 where they just randomly opened it up and you had to stumble on it. Painful wait, but it was only about $468

Hot damn! Now that's a deal. I may need a baritone 6 sooner than I thought.

I've seen at points they only offered certain models, but it looks like all of them are fair game at the moment.

Wow. They've come a long way with the options since then. I've heard their pickups are pretty good. I'm probably going to get the Cepheus Passives on my next guitar from them.
