I sold my RG1527 a couple years ago, and I thought I could get by just tuning my FR1620 to B standard/drop A. It’s just not working out. Over the past few years I’ve grown accustomed to hardtails with 10-46, and I just can’t get the tension I need out of the low strings with 13-62. I think I’m...
It’s a beast, but it can still twang with the best of them.
Reverse headstock, Hipshot, stainless frets, roasted flamed maple, Seymour Duncan JB and STK-S6.
I got this about 2 weeks ago. The neck is super comfortable on these, and it has that perfect worn in feel that a vintage guitar should. It has quite a few battle scars, but it’s an amazing player.
I took it apart and cleaned and polished everything I could. I added straplocks, but I saved the...
I actually bought this guitar 3-4 weeks ago.
This guitar is amazing. It plays and sounds fantastic, and the hardware is rock solid. The combination of the bridge humbucker and the p90 neck work really well together, and the middle position is the “Duesenberg” sound. It’s unique, and sounds...
I actually got this Gretsch G6131T-TVP Power Jet about 3 weeks ago in a trade. It’s a 2005 Japanese model. This guitar has really surprised me. In recent years, I’ve come to appreciate single coils and more interesting, harmonically rich tones. This guitar doesn’t disappoint in that area. It’s...
It may not be metal by modern standards, but it’s still an edgy drop D tune with some southern rock and funk influence. I wrote, recorded, mixed and mastered this song in my home studio. There’s a guitar solo around the 4 minute mark...let me know what you guys think...
Hey, guys. I haven't posted here in a while.
I just sold my RG1527, and I need to replace it. It was a great guitar...I just never wanted to play it due to the trem. I'm primarily a hardtail, 6-string, standard tuning player, but occasionally I like to record rhythm parts with the 7, or low...

I just acquired an MIJ Charvel Pro Mod neck yesterday. I also figured I'd pick up one of the nice SKB Charvel cases, which came today.
I've had Charvel and maple neck GAS for quite some time...
As it stands, all 5 of my electrics have rosewood fretboards. I had a Strat a couple years...
I just got an MIJ Charvel Pro Mod neck, and I had to do a little sanding/touch-up on the side of the headstock. These necks have a tinted yellowish oil finish.
Anyone got any recommendations on what I can use to touch-up this spot?
I'm installing some of these on my FR1620, and I need some opinions.
The screw holes line up on the back side, and I can start them all.
The holes in the headstock are quite a bit larger than the tuners diameter. This means that the tuner flops/rocks around in the hole.
Should I...
