    Yet another show us your pedalboard/rack thread

    TC G-Major into a Road King? Whoa baby! Do you find the G-Major a major pain to program? If you don't mind - what kind of patches do you typically use from that thing? I looked at one once, and the range of what it could do was so vast, I feared that I would never spend time playing again...

    Custom bodies/paintjobs?

    You can contact http://www.monstertoneguitars.com/. they have done some nice work. Finding a good shop to re-work your guitar is a real chore. If you get someone who is not so good, they can ruin a nice instrument. So be careful because you are taking your chances. I suggest whomever you go...

    So, my guitar tried to kill me...

    Glad you were not seriously injured! Its true that amps do work with a huge amount of current, tube amps even more so. Grounding problems are a leading cause of leakage back into the instrument, and danger to the musician. There are real cases of people being electrocuted by their amps, as...

    Post pics of your 7-string please, one more time!!!

    Jackson sure makes some nice guitars! I still wonder about the quilted top, purple Kelly I passed up in Kansas City about a decade ago. It was such a nice guitar, but I just could not muster the cash.

    Post pics of your 7-string please, one more time!!!

    Thank you Noodles! I am even more delighted that it is Beast #3 - as in the third one ever made. When we went to the Hysperia custom shop to pick up that Bich, there was Beast #1 back from the body shop hanging up. We asked Junior "what on earth is that" and he gave us the story. Driving...

    Another new guy here

    Welcome to the boards, I am new here myself. Nice choice in amps! If you have a moment to comment on your opinions of ESP guitars, I would love to hear it. I had a negative run-in with ESP back in 97 and have not given them much thought since. I would be interested to hear opinions of them.

    Introducing....

    Thanks for the kind words Awakend. My own father was from Glasgow, and I was raised on a staple diet of songs from the Highlands. Though I am sure Jean Redpath (Scottish folk singer) had nothing like what I am attempting (and you as well?). I can't quite score a sailor moon guitar strap...

    Which multi effects unit...

    The Pod stuff can achieve a very good and useful tone. My biggest complaint is that if you are not fond of programming, the presets suffer from the “happy meal” syndrome. That is they give you a shovel full of stuff, a bunch of which you may not want. More and more they seem to be gravitating...

    Introducing....

    Hello to all you fine folks, and thanks for letting me post. My name is Bruce, I live in southern California, I have been playing guitars for about 25 years now (started as a little guy). I landed my first 7 string (an UV777BK – as seen below) about 7 years ago. I love to play music, but...

    Here is a partial family snapshot. Glorious pink blanket on the futon couch in the spare bedroom / studio. From left to right Ibanez RG-7420 / BC Rich USA custom shop Beast (7) / Ibanez UV777 and of course the 10 string BC Rich USA custom shop Bich had to get in the picture - it was...

    UV Necks?

    I actually think the neck on my UV777 is the best feeling neck I have ever played. It beats out my USA custom shop Beast 7, which is a wonderful guitar, but the neck on my UV777 feels much faster, and the action is more predictable. I know there are variances in guitar runs, and I sometimes...
