From what I understand Grover and some of the nicer hardware is now made over in Korea. I cannot remember the name of the factory but they make good stuff generally. As far as Gotoh I thought they were still in Japan but I didn’t know if they happened to have a lower end line of tuners that...
You know that is the first time I have heard a bad thing about Gotoh. Are they still made in Japan. I know Grover parts are not made in USA anymore and haven’t been for a while. Perhaps quality could be slipping?
Hey I like locking tuners on guitars! They are not a make or break deal for me but they are really convenient when I need to change a string. I do like the Duncan JB set by the way I thought you might have those Japanese unbranded stock pickups that they use in Yamaha, Aria or FGN. I have an...
You know what you have a very valid point. I never considered that. After all John Sykes took over as a vocalist in Blue Murder shortly after leaving Whitesnake!
Nice Epiphone’s here is my FGN “Les Paul” I have a whole thread on this guitar but I figured Fujigen makes guitars for the Epiphone Elitist line so why not include in in another Les Paul thread!
I wish I could help you get a black Edwards. Unfortunately I don’t have access to those guitars! Only ESP and LTD. I wish they had the Edwards guitars in the US.
As much of a great vocalist as David Coverdale is, I think he tried to push John Sykes out of Whitesnake. I have a feeling he didn’t want to pay writing credits to John Sykes or something like that for the 87 album. To me John Sykes guitar sound was perfect with David Coverdales voice. I...
I don’t think I have ever seen him play another guitar. From what I heard John Sykes put that mirror pickguard on his guitar at the suggestion of Phil Lynott when they were both in Thin Lizzy.
I thought he played a real Gibson. It’s a shame that David Coverdale decided to go with Adrien Vandenberg for the tour of the 1987 album. John Sykes’ playing had such fire to it.
I like my cars stock and unmodified the same (most of the time anyway) as my guitars! The funny thing is I’ve always preferred American cars over the Japanese brands. The opposite is true for the guitars I play. I don’t think I even own an american guitar at this point. All my guitars are...
