    What takes the longest time when completing a guitar?

    I was just curious, we see all of these manufacturers with 2-3 year wait times for custom builds. Where are the bottlenecks or what takes the longest when building a custom guitar from scratch? Is it just the company has a massive back log? How long does it take to complete a guitar once...

    Northern Virginia folks - anyone have a spare 2x12 or 4x12 cab I can borrow?

    Basically I ordered an ENGL FE and matching cab from axe palace. The cab is on order since they didn't have it in the matching purple color in stock so I have a brand new head I can't use. Was hoping a northern va homie would let me borrow a cab for a few weeks. Happy to drop cash as colateral...

    What is your favorite wah in 2024?

    Thread title I’ve been using Fractal for the past few years but I recently picked up an ENGL amp. I will be wasting money on some pedals again so I am wondering what your all favorite wah pedals are. The last one I owned was the Kirk Hammett cry baby. I was thinking of getting a dimebag...

    ESP vs LTD: Floyd rose original vs Floyd Rose 1000

    I've got a few ESP's with floyds, and one LTD Kirk Hammett Ouija with a floyd. The real ESP's are original floyds and the LTD is a 1000. Whats the difference? I notice the bridge on the LTD feels, perhaps lower'ish quality - the fine tuners are harder to turn, the trem bar screw in is not as...

    Is it possible to order a new pickguard for an Ibanez UV777P?

    I used to own a universe UV777 long ago and sold it. I regret doing so, but every used one I see has a scuffed up pickguard naturally. Is there a way to buy a replacement mirror pickguard for the UV777?

    Ultra case - no more?

    Looking for a multi stand/rack that can hold my weird pointy guitars like my dean ML and stealth, Jackson Kelly. Is Ultracase gone? Any other ideas for one that can handle normal guitars as well as odd shaped ones?

    Help identifying Dimarzio I replaced from my PC1

    I recently replaced the Bridge and middle pickup from the Jackson PC1. After the fact I listed each pickup on reverb for peanuts. For the listing I just used the model numbers advertised on the Jackson site...

    My Jackon PC1 pickups are too quiet

    I picked up a jackson PC1 a few months back. The neck (sustainer) and middle (DiMarzio HS-2) are too quiet for my liking. I know there is likely no solution for the sustainiac but what can I do for the middle pickup? I know there are certain single-coil sized humbuckers. Does anyone have...

    V and RR players - what is your preferred sitting chair?

    Question for you V players - what is your preferred seating setup when playing a V, or RR? I tend to play a lot in my desk chair at my computer and it is pretty bad for playing seated with a big V (Caparison Orbit) to the point that I hardly ever play the guitar. What type of seating do you...

    New Finish Day - Dean Stealth Bolt

    I got a Korean Stealth Slime last year right around the time that the news hit with Dean and Rita parting ways, just to make sure I got one. Well, the finish/top on the imports are shitty so I decided to get it refinished with a dimebolt top and natural back. I think it turned out pretty nice!
