No even a compromise, a straight up improvement. More portable and stereo.

I thought the implication of my question was clear but let me ask a follow up: For those who leave strings on for many months to years, do you not worry about your fretboards drying up? Looks like the answer is basically "no". But that's the one thing I worry about when leaving strings on for a...

Here's an adjacent question that I often think about: Do any of you remove strings to condition a fretboard (rosewood and ebony) and then put back the same strings? Or do you condition the board somehow while keeping the strings on? I'm talking specifically those guitars that go a long long...

I had not seen that. Looks pretty cool! $280 CAD though... Pretty pricy for a TS no?

So true. I often think that the reason people use them at all is because of the huge roster of artists that they endorse.

I did this last year, and I do find the Elixirs last longer for sure, but not 3x as long (for 3x the price). Meaning if I buy 3 packs of D'Addario EXL strings, those 3 packs will last longer than 1 Elixir set in my experience. So I'm going back to regular strings. I'm going to keep Elixirs on...

They've always had great basses IMO. I can go back to every single year's catalog and find amazing looking basses. Must be an entirely different department specing basses vs guitars. It's gotta be.

Well well well, more Fishman pickups, just what everyone wants (apparently)

I agree. If I want a headless, I'll go buy one from a company that excels at it. Keep the Ibanez guitars Ibanezy, you know? It's like, I'm not asking Gibson for a headless Les Paul. If I want a Les Paul, I'll get a proper Les Paul. If I want an Ibanez, same thing. Maybe this is controversial...

Anyone know when the new models typically become available to order? Is it after NAMM?

@Ibanez Rules told us we would be!

Yeah, I'm going to put in an order for the AZ24P1QM in Deep Ocean Blonde. At first I wasn't sure about it, looked like a light rosewood board but it's actually roasted maple. I'm sure in person it looks great.

You sure you want the 8" sub with the 8" monitors? I'm not expert, so I don't know, but seems weird to me. Wouldn't you want a 10" sub at least?

I just sold my Fender Strat, because I want to get the Strat that I actually wanted all along - the AZ. Hoping they release a cool new AZ in 2024, but if not, I want to get an AZ224F. IMO it's the best looking AZ they've made (the Topaz burst color). I just love that even the Premium ones have...

What does everyone think of the weight of their Les Paul(s)? What do you think is too heavy? What's just right? Do most of you play your LPs standing? --- I'm asking because I have a 2019 Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s, and it weighs 9.6 lbs. Although it's for sure heavy IMO, the issue is mostly...

Curious, when you do get to the point where you're laying down the real takes, do you then crank you amp much louder than the volume you practice at? I know this might be an obvious question, but maybe there's more context there, so I figured I would ask.

It's been my experience as well that I need to lower the input on both Helix Native and NDSP, and I need to lower the output as well on NDSP. I'll need to experiment with the interface gain like you've done to see for myself. Although I found it pretty good with the gain at 0 when I tested last...
