OhDearGodNo posted:Block the trem? I'd have to look at the various trem-locking/blocking options before I decided what to do. One thing a like about a hard tail is that bending one string up a whole step or a step and a half or two doesn't cause the other strings to go flat. I will say that if I had to have guitars equipped with vibrato bridges I'm glad they're Ibanez Edge and Edge Pros, because those things are massive (not in the "they're huge" sense, but in the literal sense that they possess a lot of mass) and tend to be extremely stable and lovely to use when set up properly. Since I started playing guitar back when pretty much any "superstrat" had to have some double-locking trem system on them, it's fair to say I'm just used to it and it doesn't bother me. That said, I still would like to see more six-string (H/S/H) Ibanezes with big hard-tail bridges on them like my RG471.

I blocked my custom 24 and so happy that I did. My old RG3 is a hard tail also. I never had a desire to use it, but considering the only thing in the PRS is a block of wood, it's easily changeable.

I don't know where else to ask this so here it goes: talk me out of buying a pedal steel! I have always wanted one and I'm driving over two hours away to the only place that has them. He has a slightly used Carter Starter which is the only thing in my price range currently. I have been looking for better used ones but there aren't many around. I don't know if I should drop a grand on something I might hate...

Traded off a free-to-me Bullet Strat for an interface.

I like to think I prefer pickguardless LPs but nope they always look like they're missing something without one. It's a nice little accent. Come to think of it most guitars that have a pickguard stock look better as is to me.

Counterpoint, Sonic Blue Charvel San Dimas.  If I could get that or something similar with a hardtail bridge then I'd have a new favorite guitar.

Allen Wren posted:It looks great, what-all is in it? Thanks. The body is Warmoth’s hybrid Strat in poplar finished in Danish Oil. The neck is a Squier CV Telecaster neck off eBay. It has a Fender Hot Noiseless strat pickup at the neck. At the bridge it has a DiMarzio PAF that I bought in 1989 at a local music store (and god only knows how long it had been sitting on the shelf before that). The rest of the parts–as well as the pickups–were taken from an old, crappy parts guitar that I’ve had for years but with which I had become unhappy.

My guitar player has one of these in white that's been attacked by a blowtorch with one Super Distortion and a Floyd. It rules.

Sockington posted:But what about just mic'ing a guitar cabinet (all I indented to do)? That should be okay, actually. The 1/4" inputs clip, even when down all the way, when you plug any instrument into them directly. Switch to line level and it's too quiet, thin, yet still clips somehow. It's really bad.

An easy workaround was to simply turn the volume pot on my bass down about 1/3. Pretty annoying, but hardly a dealbreaker. Otherwise I'm pretty happy with it.

 Red Mustang III is really quite awesome. The color is ridiculous and I think it will take me a good 10 years to figure out half the stuff this amp is capable of doing. Blows my mind that I can go from reverb drenched surfer tone to super cleans in like one twist of the dial. My only miscalculation was not realizing how stupidly big the thing is compared to my old amp. Also it can get REALLY loud. I posted the picture with the guitar because I am still a godless heathen that kept his poker chip and pick guard; you cannot stop us.

We got my son a Mustang II for Christmas a couple years ago, and we both had a good laugh over the fact that we had to update the amp's firmware before it would work with the included software. It's about the most absurd thing that could ever happen with a guitar amplifier. Barring that, though, the whole rig is really easy to get along with. If you haven't got the foot switch for it yet, plan on it as your next gear purchase. You'll thank yourself.

So this came with the house we bought from the wife's grandparents. There are no names or markings on it and no one played it in the family. It was used purely as decoration in a basement. Any ideas? The Manjo, Banjo-Mandolin, Banjolin, etc.  Rockstars don't cut their strings either bro. Lawsuit era headstock        I was debating dropping it off to the setup guy and having myself a kicking rad instrument for all that mandolin-ing I've been dying to try.

New addition to the family today: I just finished my bathroom reno and turned 30. gently caress both of those things, so I got my self a brand new Gibson J-35, why 35? Well I honestly like the way this sounded more, the pickguard owns and the script Gibson logo owns even harder:    I really love the sound of the smaller body, sloped shoulder shape, it should really fill in the tone hole of my Taylor 614.
