    NGD - Suhr Modern Koa

    I recently revived this custom Suhr Modern from Matt at Matt's Music who showed great patience with my constant barrage of emails. It's a great place to deal with. I'd recommend them. The oiled body is solid Koa, the neck/fingerboard is Pao Ferro and the electronics are wired like Guthrie...

    Anybody tried a koa body and pau ferro neck?

    I haven't had an opportunity to play anything like that but statistically it should sound good and it sure looks nice. Like the title says, has anyone tried that combo and if so how did it sound and feel? Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Crunch Lab/Liquifire in Wolfgang?

    I'm thinking of swapping out the pickups in my Wolfgang with a Crunch lab/Liquifire combo like I have in my Universe. I'd wire it like a Music Man JP6 with the middle position being the coils split. They're great in the UV so thought I'd try them out in the Wolfie. Any opinions on how that would...

    Evo 7 vs. Crunch Lab 7 in a UV?

    Soon after I got my UV777 I swapped out the Blaze in the bridge with an Evo because I thought the Blaze was kind of flat sounding for my taste. While I prefer the Evo to the Blaze, now I'm finding that it is a bit harsh on the high end and not as thick as I'd like for solos as compared to my...

    Rekindling my relationship with my 5150

    After letting it collect dust for quite some time I decided to completely retube my 5150 and am very pleased with the results. I've had lots of different tube configurations in it before with mixed results but this time the JJ 6L6GCs and mixture of preamp tubes including a Tungsol in V1 really...

    Swap Mark IV for a ??

    I finally got my Mark IV a couple of weeks ago and it's exactly what I was looking for, which was the best qualities of my 5150 and Legacy rolled onto one.... unfortunately I think I may have been looking for the wrong thing. Thanks everyone for the help none the less. After getting...

    VHT Sig:X vs Mark IV?

    Does anyone have experience with both? I am just wondering how they compare in tone and flexibility.

    Rig suggestions?

    I am currently waiting on a Mark IV wide body combo and, while waiting, have decided to add some stuff to it. I thought I'd also get a 2x12 vertical recto cab (as opposed to a 4x12 for space reasons), a TC electronics G-Major and a Behringer FCB1010 controller for it. Any other suggestions in...

    Does aTremol-no change the feel of a guitar with floating bridge?

    I understand that when not engaged a guitar fitted with a Tremol-no feels as it did before. My question is really in regards to how it plays and feels when everything is locked down such as if it were a hard tail. From what I've read it seems to increase sustain but does it have an effect on...

    Eminence "The Governor" or Vintage 30's in X Pattern with G12T-75?

    I have a 4X12 Marshall Jubilee cab that has G12T-75's in it that I have been becoming increasing dissatisfied with. I'm finding somewhat thin sounding after using spending the majority of my time playing through a 2X12 cabinet loaded with Vintage 30's for the last couple of years. I have been...

    Mark IV vs. Bogner XTC?

    I was wondering how they compare to each other. While I suspect that they are sufficiently different to be incomparable but I thought I'd throw out the question anyway. Has anyone had extensive experience with both?

    Mixing Speakers with different Ohms?

    I have a 2x12 and I want to test out mixing speakers in it. I have a 16 ohms V30 and an 8 ohms G12T-75 on hand for the experiment. Can I safely put these together with the different ratings? If so, what would the ohms rating be and what would I set the amp to, 8 ohms?

    What do I do with my 5150?

    Right now my main amps are a Carvin Legacy and a 5150. I’m finding that I play the 5150 very little due to becoming used to the, more mid-centric, tone of the Legacy and finding the 5150 somewhat thin sounding in comparison. I like the aggressive nature of the 5150 but wish it was less...

    Evo-7 vs. Blaze Custom?

    I did a search but found no direct comparisons. From looking at Dimarzio’s site the tonal qualities and output seem very similar. I am wondering if anyone has experience with both in similar guitars. I’d really like to know how they differ in the real world because on paper they are nearly...

    Finally got my first 7.. it was long wait.

    When the Ibanez Universe first came out I knew I wanted one but have spent the years since convincing myself that quality 6 strings were more practical purchases. I finally broke down and picked up a new UV777BK and I couldn’t be more pleased. It’s one hell of an adjustment after playing 6...
