    Best Multiscale 8 under $2k?

    I’ve heard good things about these, but if I was looking under $1k I’d get an Agile Pendulum, I’m already used to Agiles and I love the way they feel sand play. Thanks though!

    Best Multiscale 8 under $2k?

    One tricky bit is finding a used Ormsby... not sure I’ve ever seen one :shrug:

    Best Multiscale 8 under $2k?

    I tune drop-E, and use an .80 there, but if Tosin and Javier can do drop-E on 27” with a .74, I figure I can manage :ok: But yeah, Kiesel is looking better and better... now I just have to GET the job! :lol:

    Best Multiscale 8 under $2k?

    I did a lot pricing options on Kiesel’s last night (which is a fun rabbit hole to fall down!), I could keep it in budget as long as I didn’t choose the blue/purple color change finish :lol: Ormsby’s seem to go in runs, yes? Heard great things about them, and I’d actually prefer a 28” low...

    Don’t know why I didn’t think of Kiesel, thanks for the suggestion!

    Best Multiscale 8 under $2k?

    Might be taking a new job and doubling my income... so of course my first thought is to buy a new guitar! :nuts: :lol: What I’ve wanted for years is a really nice multiscale 8; I’ve got an Agile 828 I’m quite happy with, and a couple 7’s, but if I’m going to invest in another instrument, I’d...

    Tight Prog Metal pickups for warm/dark basswood 7

    @KnightBrolaire - Thanks! I will definitely check out your 6 string shootout for those Tridents; I didn’t care for the sample on the website, but there’s so many variables that go in to that, it doesn’t mean that much. @Legion - I didn’t think about the Cepheus, which is silly given that I...

    Tight Prog Metal pickups for warm/dark basswood 7

    They’re very dark and loose feeling, especially down low (this guitar is in B standard, with 9’s). Of course, that’s relative to the PK’s, which are now in a 26.5” Agile (the other guitar is a 28” Agile 8 with the Lundgren-like stock pickups, so, yeah :lol:) Anyway, I just really don’t like...

    Tight Prog Metal pickups for warm/dark basswood 7

    Basically, what the title says. The guitar is a late 90’s LTD; the body is basswood, and is fairly dark, pretty resonant, kinda loose in the bass. I had Painkillers in it, which worked surprisingly well, but could be a little harsh in the top end. I swapped them out for a set of Illuminators...

    Replacement neck for 90's ESP/LTD? Or replace the truss rod?

    There doesn’t seem to be any way to remove the nut without removing the fretboard, but I’m no expert. I’ll hit up my guy and find out when/if he’s reopening, and go from there. Thanks!

    Replacement neck for 90's ESP/LTD? Or replace the truss rod?

    I've got a late 90's LTD M-207 that I've upgraded pretty much everything on. It is (or WAS) a great playing guitar, and my first 7 so I'm kinda sentimental about it. Eventually, the truss rod nut socket got stripped/rounded, leaving me unable to adjust the action. I basically glued a 3mm allen...
