I sold the rest of mine because I will never play them. (Mine is in trans blue burst.)

Isn't the entire guitar shaped from one solid piece of wood, or am I mistaken? I've never seen one in person and if I could have any guitar in the world it would be a Parker Fly.

my brother and I just got gibson double neck guitars for christmas, it says les paul on the headstock, but its clearly an SG body, i dont know, it still looks and sounds sick.

The answer lies in Warman's Vintage Guitars Field Guide.

Page Two Hundred And Ten posted:

During the 60s, more guitar players were familiar with Gibson's SG series, which replaced the earlier Les Paul series that was discontinued around the beginning of that decade. The SGs were originally called Les Pauls as well, but had a very different style, and Paul's endorsement was withdrawn soon after the new style was introduced. The short-lived models that had the new body style but that still bore a Les Paul model name are known by both names to collectors.

I just bought a PodXT and I'm waiting for it to arrive.

I've heard lots of great things, I just hope the learning curve isn't as steep as some people make it out to be.

These are fantastic, don't worry about the learning curve. If you're like most techie musicians, you figure stuff out by "fiddlin'" and not the manual. You can learn an XT in about 6 hours if you don't play and just explore. I used one of these instead of an amp when I was in the worship band at church, and I got it down after a couple sundays.

The optional foot-board is worth every penny.

Any heavily important tips that I might want to keep in mind while fiddling around, or is it all just mess around and play with it? I'll have most of tomorrow to try it out, provided it doesn't arrive too late during the day.

I'd recommend going through all the presets a few times before you start messin' with 'em, that was half the fun for me, but other than that just be sure to not accidentally save some lovely effect over a preset you like.

Not really a big item in terms of hardware, but I just had a Graphtech nut installed in my MIM Strat. Replaced the 7-year old stock nut with this baby. The guitar plays so much better now, it is like night and day. I never would have thought a nut would make this much difference!

My tech even let me stay and taught me how to file a nut

The sustain is better compared to the stock nut. Hardcore bending not longer causes the guitar to go out of tune after a while, either. The strings ringing longer is definitely something I've wanted for a long time.

Doesn't the Tremonti come with a graphtech nut already?

Edit: My bad, aparently there are 2 Tremonti models now. Tremonti SE and the Tremonti Signature series.

I dont know why they even put them on LP's honestly. Everyone just takes em off.

But the comment was more on the lines of the V's and Explorer styles, as they have the larger pickgaurds that take up the majority of the body space to hide the routing.

Should I get a Roland G-707?

Or an Ovation Viper?

Or this Jaguar?

I want a midi guitar so I can use it as a controller for a mic hooked up to a vocoder, hence the G-707, but I don't even know if that's possible. Or the Viper because they're badass and I'll never find a GP for a decent price, or the Jaguar because they're my favourite guitars of all time. I already have two Jaguars though, and it might be time for a change.

Specifically I was thinking the G-707 so I can use it like DFA1979 used their midi keyboards through a vocoder to change their voice in songs from their EP, or the way Daft Punk sings "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" near the end of the song. Anybody know about this? Or am I gonna have to experiment with it myself?

Help goons.

If you don't get the roland I'm going to kill you in your sleep

A '97 Les Paul Gem, from the short run of P90 equipped LP Studios finished after various gemstone colours. A little bit of an ugly duckling - what you can't really see in the photo is the dark translucent green finish, which is a bit so-so against the gold hardware and off-white plastics - but it plays and sounds really, really nice.

This is a perfect example of good looking gold hardware. How do those P90's sound?

Sorry about the lovely camera. My new Agile Al-2800

This is a rondomusic "B Stock", by the way. The b stock damage on this guitar is a scuff no worse than the screen on a lightly used iPod, I didn't even notice until I held it up to a lightbulb. Definitely not enough to justify a 140$ discount from the 310$ price tag, but Kurt is pretty awesome like that.

It's just a midi controller with a fuckload of controls, actually. Keystations don't have any synth capabilities. Which just makes its weight weirder, really. It's got a great key action, though.

Next step is a tossup between a new amp (DSL/TSL probably) and a guitar for downtuned heavy stuff, drop A. Anyone have any suggestions for the guitar? I'm liking the look of Schecter C-series but nowhere around me sells them so it'll probably be an Ibanez.

SO jealous of you right now. Is it heavy and/or neck heavy? It seems like it would be.

Jackson KE3 Kelly, crimson swirl. Fell in love with the finish the first time I saw it. Yay for guitar porn!

I play a bit of Nile, Aborted, Bloodbath etc, and they all tune to either B or drop A. There's just something about the heaviness at that tuning that you can't get any other way.

Hmm, I'll definitely have to check out some ESP baritones, especially since every guitar store in my city seems to sell ESP.

I mean it makes sense from a theory point as to why you'd drop that low but I can't even imagine having any sort of string tension left at that point.

Anyway that's off topic and those are great pups in a beautiful guitar. :waycool:

Not really "gear," but I bought some strings at Guitar Center today! A set of Elixer Polyweb Mediums for my Ibanez PF5ECE (Penelope), and a set of DR Red Devils for my '85 Cort Custom (Delia).

This is what I'm buying next:

A set of GFS Dream 90s. They're humbucker sized P90s with 8.4k at the bridge and 8.2k for the neck. Aren't they dreamy? :swoon:

Now I have to figure out where in the chain it sounds best.

I'd throw it in near the end of your chain, after wahs and distortions but before delays. I've got mine set up:

Guitar > Distortion A > Distortion B > Wah > Chorus > Delay > Amp

I personally think it sounds better to delay my chorus instead of chorusing a delayed signal, but really it's all personal preference so in retrospect I'm not sure why I wrote this reply. :sweatdrop:
