    How do your best sounding guitars (plugged in) sound unplugged?

    My RG2228 is more 'fduum'. My other fixed bridge instruments are more 'fdaam'. My Strandberg with its little metal saddles and floating bridge is more 'fdiing'. None of it translates to any tone different when plugged in. But I like my RG2228 the most, acoustically.

    54 gauge for a low B, am I finally losing it...

    I use .058 for B, just because that's the standard that comes with my Winspear 9s. Except for my 10-string, which has a .056 for B at 29". I experimented with heavier gauges, but quickly settled on 9s (and used 8s at one point). The frustrating thing is that the longer you go, whilst you have...

    Vs are really just Ys. They'll never be as cool as Xs.

    IA Eklundh leaves Caparison guitars.

    When I saw comments on people wondering if it would be something with Strandberg, I thought to myself this is exactly why it won't be Strandberg. It's a good enough trem, but no way can it do what he would want it to.

    Case Candy?

    Not including the relevant allen keys, I had a Strandberg branded pick with my Strandberg. I've had a couple of CDs in my various Ormsbys, and my limited edition Shark came with a pick and hammerhead shark-shaped bottle opener which was neat. I like when it's small and not extraneous. Something...

    Ibanez 2023 Models ! What would you like to see ?

    There's this RGDR4527ET. Prestige. https://www.ibanez.com/na/products/detail/rgdr4527et_00_01.html I'll laugh my fucking ass off if it's an April Fool's Day joke. But a matching richlite top and fretboard looks sick.

    What guitars would you consider to be the absolute best value for any price range?

    As an Australian wanting a versatile multiscale instrument, I've settled on Ormsby's GTR line which is made in Korea. The only downside is there may not be stock left over for a run, so you may need to preorder. Good pickups, stainless steel frets, good multiscale design, specs you can rarely...

    IA Eklundh leaves Caparison guitars.

    Best of all it can be worldwide with no distributor or manufacturer restrictions, because all we'll be doing is selling a used Prestige.

    IA Eklundh leaves Caparison guitars.

    His own brand guitar is nowhere near as bad as the comments here made me think it is. I still prefer his Caparison, though.

    Bands with names that are frustratingly inappropriate for their music

    With a name like that, you should know what they're smuggling.

    Bands with names that are frustratingly inappropriate for their music

    If only 15 years hadn't have passed, then I would've been able to remember all those long and pretentious band names for various folk and postrock acts that hipsters treated like secret societies. Is the above a sentence I wrote or a band name? You decide.

    Wintersun's Groundhog's Day Thread

    Yeah fuck it, I decided to preorder it. If I was put off of music because the artist is a diva with trouble accepting help or getting their shit sorted, there wouldn't be much music left to listen to.

    Any of yall play the violin/viola/cello?

    Technique, no. Knowing how to play it, including tuning, scales, fingering positions, where to find the positions for proper intonation - yes. Guitarist first. I picked up a 7-string electric violin, but I haven't played it in a long time. Violin makes sense because conceptually it's the same...

    Wintersun's Groundhog's Day Thread

    Hmm, now this is making me want to preorder. When I preordered The Forest Seasons, it came with an instrumental version of the album, an acoustic version of Loneliness, different formats including .wav and split tracks, and the ...remastered? versions of Time and the self-titled which I didn't...

    Really dumb string tension revelation (can't believe it took me this long to figure out)

    It took a lot of courage to share that. You are very brave.

    NGD: legator n9fp

    Yeah, how's the fretwork and everything? On my 10-string, I use a .094 stainless steel string. I haven't felt the need to go bigger than that.

    Wintersun's Groundhog's Day Thread

    I'm not going to bother reposting from the Facebook post, but the album will be released 30 August with 'pre-orders' opening in March. All the announcements and hype, and... wait half a year. What a non-event. If I'm lucky, I'll remember it releases six months from now.

    Alternatives to Kalium?

    The UK and the US both are on the other side of the world from Australia, and ordering from the UK just seems to be quicker than the US. Then again, ordering from Japan can be quicker than ordering things domestic, so who knows. But I suppose Winspear and Newtone have both been very good and...
