    Worst guitar brand names

    Speaking of cuntz guitars, there's a number of brands supplying the most diverse goods, from bikes to guitars to coffee machines, branded Kona or Cona. For English speakers it obviously means nothing, but it literally translates to "cunt" in Portuguese, which gives "I can't stop fingering my...

    Caparison vs Mayones

    Personally, I prefer Caparison (hence being on their artist roster, I suppose). There is nothing negative I could point out in terms of build quality as far as either of those brands is concerned, and I never had a Capa or Mayo shit the bed on me on the road, so they do rank pretty highly in...

    Better hope you never have an issue with your ESP guitar

    Man, the follow-up with the finish simply falling off is even worse than I had expected. 😥

    Vik Duality 8 string run *CLOSED RUN*

    Well, if I'm to play the devil's advocate, at least people discussing it have either their money or the guitar. Meanwhile, I'm sure the sea turtle that was to have brought me my Vik money back has likely encountered terrible currents and is taking more than a year to show up.

    Do thich picks (1.5mm+) suck?

    If there's something incredibly subjective, pick thickness, materials and shape is exactly that. I love 2mm picks, sometimes thicker depending on how the edge tapers and other factors, and I absolutely, 100% detest any kind of flex in the pick, which drives me absolutely nuts, but that is just...

    NAMM 2024 - see anything cool?

    I recorded a grand total of one proper demo video at NAMM, namely the Laney IRT Studio. The reasons I did that (and never did so ever again are simple): - it was 9 am, therefore it wasn't crawling with people yet; - the amp in question has built-in cab sim and requires no load, meaning it was...

    Red is the new (trans) Black [ESP Restomod #2 M-II Complete]

    Hah, I wish - terrible timing now for personal reasons, sadly. I am just salty as a guy that was selling one years ago bailed last second and then the new line-up for Sugizo's guitars came up - sans that model. It's one of those axes I've always found ridiculously cool!

    Red is the new (trans) Black [ESP Restomod #2 M-II Complete]

    You have a Sugizo singlecut. I don't think I like you all that much anymore. *E N V Y*

    What do you think Equilibrium Guitars ？Please share your opinion.

    Played a few at NAMM years ago - great stuff and really pretty. Sad that Dave passed so young.

    Wintersun's Groundhog's Day Thread

    Don't be unfair! I'm sure they're super-ultra-hi res wallpapers along with with such hi definition stems you need to build YOURSELF a studio in order to use them!

    Wintersun's Groundhog's Day Thread

    I'll be honest - I read the whole vague "it is finally ready yay!" post with a lingering "what's the catch then?" vibe throughout. Jari has not only met but exceeded my expectations in hilarious fashion! :lol: The mystery now is "what BS will be posted as the reason for needing more money?" - I...

    New gear day - venerable Hufschmid Blackdroid 7

    Oh, nice! That one is a great piece of kit and sounds PISSED! Take good care of her - it's a good one!

    How do you guys like (or not) the Caparison single coil sized humbucker?

    They're my #1 guitars, and I love them to bits. The current stock pickups sound really good in my opinion, and I never felt inclined to swap those out, but these are deeply personal things, and to be fair replacing pickups is really easy and the offer out there covers basically all the ground...

    Rabea signs with EBMM

    I'm actually pretty amazed at how polarizing Bea seems to be for no obvious reason at all from what I've seen a bit all over the place. He's a super solid player, has a tremendous following therefore a target for product sales, and he's actually a rather nice guy, so it's not really his stance...
