    Tremolo deadlock - how to lock a trem in style

    I have absolutely no use for this as I adore my term, but I just wanted to say this is super cool to see!

    Alternatives to Kalium?

    Ireland here. Used to order from Stringjoy, but it got prohibitively expensive.

    Alternatives to Kalium?

    Also a huge fan of Winspear here. Strings sound great, last ages, and you the ability to get exactly the gauges you want at no up charge is amazing.

    Weasel's repair and rewind thread

    I’d love to hear about some of your designs some time! The Blackbird is well regarded here, and I’m very curious about the neo x-breeds!

    Schecter KM-7 (Keith Merrow) Signature Thread

    My Duvell was 3,080 and that was after upgrading to covered BKP Polymaths post price increase. I see very little incentive not to just keep saving and go high end at that point.

    Xmas NGD: Tom Santason

    Gorgeous guitar! How would you compare it to your Mayones guitars? My Duvell is the best guitar I’ve ever played, and my prestige AZ feels like a bit of a let down in comparison. I’m saving towards a custom next year and currently a Mayones Aquila in the top of the list, but I’ve been VERY...

    Mayones Velvetrone pickups

    Very curious to hear about them, too. The name is so odd to me…Velvetone was right there.

    NGD: Ibanez AZ 2204 HRM

    That looks fantastic! If I were in the market for an SSS setup. I wonder how the Fortuna pickups compare to the Hyperions? I haven’t dived too much into the Dyna-mix stuff - I’ve barely left the neck pickup on this guitar I like it so much. I’m in a similar boat - a few years ago I discovered...

    Ibanez 2023 Models ! What would you like to see ?

    AZRG that looks like an AZ and has the AZ neck thickness but a 17” radius and no pickguard. I can’t be the only that wants this.

    NGD: Ibanez AZ 2204 HRM

    Quick riff to show off the metal tone I have right now. As usual, my audio quality isn’t the best as its camera audio recording from headphones.
