I've been a bit down recently and I've had a bot of time to myself off from work. I started playing a lot more often and thanks to the Emails I get from Guitarguitar I found that there was a good deal on Gibson axes. So I took the plunge indulged in some retail therapy: I...

That is great advice!

Hey all Haven't posted for a while, I can't remember last time actually. I'm vaguely remembering posting up to say I was struggling with playing motivation and stuff. Largely that hasn't really changed and my time lurking on SS.org suffered too... I've been thinking and I reckon my problem...

I've been getting curious about the wiring of pedals and amps. Does anyone know where i can oggle the circuit diagram of a Blackstar HT-100 or similar please?

Wow I've been away from this thread a while. Thanks for the advice everyone. If I do go ahead with this, there would be no time frame so I could order stuff as a i went. That would make it less obviously costly I guess haha. I think tooling would be the main thing to consider, though I don't...

Ok good advice everyone! I like to get in a good bit of research before I jump into anything so at the minute this is just ideas and nothing more. £400-£500 for materials is cool, I imagined as much seeming pick up upgrades in the past have cost upwards of £200. I've seen blanks online for...

Out of curiosity, were I to plan a build of my own, how much should I budget for? Lets assume that I build the neck and body. I'd prefer to build neck through. Obviously I'd need the longer laminates. How much would that likely cost? What about fretboards? What about body wood? I'm...

7s look really intimidating and wide at the start. Mine looked like a proper baseball bat, but while you can definitely feel the difference in width, you'll struggle to really put your finger on why when you play, its really subtle.

At the minute, i play through a JCM900 combo that i beef up with an MXR berzerker pedal for leads, i was just curious to what people think. The way i see it, single channel amps must be simple but multi channel amps have more versatility.

I was wondering what the general consensus is regarding Single Channel Amp. I'm intrigued by the idea of having a good solid clean tone and then using effects to dirty it up, get a lead boost or add delay/chorus etc. How does it compare to having tow or three channels? I've lusted after a...

After talking about building a prs-a-like les Paul a while back I went in to Guitar Guitar in Bitmingham (whom are excellent by the way) and bought a 245 SE. I love it. I'm incapable of leaving stuff alone though and although its definitely not broke and therefore doesn't need fixing I want to...

Thanks for the concern. Today after 2 months of being messed around, Her player has agreed to change her contract, freeing her up to pursue a career. She is still very down but I hope this will help begin to build her back up

Dark Angels all the way. Sweet suit

Does anyone know anything about employment law In the uk? My better half has been working for ASDA for the last three years. It's a shithole of a job and the section manager is incompetent. She's contracted to work all weekend and her hours are terrible. She's been bullied and taken for...

It's cool guys, I'm pretty optimistic generally you don't get anywhere by giving up! I'm ring round I reckon. I'm more worried about how my girlfriend will take it.

Last year was sadly a continuation of my families endless bad luck. Specifically for this post, the theft of two of my girlfriends motorbikes. At present, she has no transport or freedom and is driving her stir crazy. She's always had bikes. Now she works a shitty job because its within walking...

Should the bridge be flush to the inserts or should there be a gap? It looks like the saddles are adjustable so the intonation should be set there, i couldn't work out why the small allen bolts were there at all.

Anonymously i was sent evidence the guy is mentally unstable. Apparently he's homosexual, taking female hormones and posting naked pictures of himself on dating sites including inserting stuff up his arse. He's interested in 1 on 1 and group sex and loves being passive and performing oral. I'd...

As mentioned before, my girlfriend has a PRS Fredrik Akkeson SE. It's an awesome bit of kit. Recently i had to restring it and i noticed that the wraparound was not flush to the insert posts. There are small allen key bolts (tiny ones) on either side of the bridge and one was screwed in more...

Loads, most of the bands i've played in have had pros and cons. It's usually a member who has ideas above his station. Its so hard to find people who are in it for the music anymore. I've had a guitarist who was harping on about sponsors and getting famous before we've even written a song, a...
