    NGD S7G Cobra

    I respect that you've probably followed this a lot closer than I have, but I've read every page of the BRJ thread though it was a long time ago. I feel that shill is a little firm, since they've both dropped products which didn't meet their long term standards for products they've endorsed...

    NGD S7G Cobra

    These guys were trying to make a living and were probably the first of the big YouTube metal guys to get offered signatures based on the platforms reach. I don't hold anything against them as Keith was pretty upfront about the issues and Ola was respectful to Keith's point and just chose to be a...

    NGD S7G Cobra

    Looks great from a distance, hope you're enjoying it. Some of those issues, I can't quite understand. The neck to body transition.. I'd assumed it was the application of the top without much regard for what can and can't be seen, but the grain appears to match. Is this just a confusing perspective?

    diy Ibanez FTM33

    Assuming you have the dimensions of the Edge 3, could you not build that in first and work out what's optimal from there? Presumably, the heights would be relative to each other anyway. Though I guess if you want it exact..

    Yes let's physically assault him as his business failed.

    tips on taming treble from SS frets?

    I can wear in sets of strings for you over the course a month to help? At around 2 hours of practice a day at a universal living wage of $15 an hour, they'll only come in at $900 a set.

    Ibanez RGDR7UCS Prestige or Ibanez Axion Label RGA?

    The RGD is about as premium as it gets in the Ibanez range and the price difference between the two is pretty major. What's your budget and what are you looking for in terms of scale, pickups etc? Everyone's going to tell you to get out and try guitars around these parts and I'd probably agree...

    CITES Voting to Exempt Instruments

    Seems like a sensible decision. They still maintain control over the market, as raw wood stock is still monitored and covered without hassling people down the line.

    ESP FR-7 + Fishman Stef set meets Friedman Custom Shop 50w Metal Amp

    Get a room guys jeez. Sweet demo. I have the Moderns in a Strandy and they're super tight and crushing, a little too much so for my tastes.

    Abasi Concepts/Larada Megathread

    Totally forgot about Padalka and Aristides. I wasn't sure about Skervesen, I've never played one myself and some still seem to think the price to guitar ratio is off.

    Abasi Concepts/Larada Megathread

    At this point, is there even a single untarnished custom shop by SSO standards? That's not a criticism, I'm just curious as to whether there's an outfit catering to the extended range market which has operated without some sort of semi-major issue affecting their reputation. Daemoness is the...

    Need help with purchase (Ibanez rga 61 vs JS1200)

    You're not going to have much trouble convincing people that a used prestige is the answer in these parts. I'd recommend... Getting the used the prestige. :lol: The blocked Floyd actually has great tuning stability and makes the hassle restringing worth it from my point of view. Then when you...

    Strandberg Boden J7 vs Jackson Juggernaut

    Was going to comment but I think Narad has summed it up quite well. I've owned both, though the Strandy is an Indo. Not that you're considering it, but the Indo Strandberg I've got is fantastic quality for an Indonesian guitar. The experience in playing a Strandberg is refreshing, it's...

    Suggestions For 7 String That Don’t Look Like Swedish Death Metal

    Get a Strandberg if you like headless. But I should warn you, you'll be comfortably playing jazz/gospel/funk, thinking you're safe from the Swedish death metal and as soon as you hit the low B you accidentally tuned to drop G# that'll be it. Just save yourself the journey, get a ZIPHOS, Axe FX 3...
