    Older, less hyped BKPs like the Painkiller or Aftermath

    Did these models get picked over or outmoded by the Juggernaut, Silo, Impulse or Ragnarok? Did people not like them when they were new? Warpigs and Nailbombs still get used and have good rep to this day and I'm just wondering about the other metal focused BKPs that nobody hardly ever talks...

    Question for the Nevermore/Loomis heads

    Is it just me or does the guitar production on Dreaming Neon Black sound kind of like butt compared to Politics of Ecstasy?? Boomy and clippy and not clean at all? Is there lore I don't know about the production process of DNB? I get that Nevermore was a little bit of a perpetually cursed band...

    Help gunch pick out a pointy

    So the word around here (THE META) is to get a V or an offset X shape for ergonomics in the classical position. Ironbirds are unobtainium and I'm not quite down with Five Finger Death Rich. Are KKVs that aren't eye searingly ugly plentiful on the used market? Would a Beast be kind of in this...

    Sets similar in use case to Nailbomb B/Coldsweat N?

    I've read somewhat old forum ramblings that the SD Custom family or Full Shred is the closest and the Dimarzio Breed or Crunchlab for the DM side but I would like to hear more current pickup wisdom (is this what the pegasus/sentient set is, a modern versatile set? It's that, isn't it?)

    Most versatile…. Scale length?

    Yeah I have baritones on the brain today but I’m trying to spitball ideas for one with the scale length that can do drop C# no problem all the way down to dummy low tunings like drop or octave E0 (expecting to get dummy thicc strings) Would 27 or 28 inch be that happy middle ground?

    Who here uses Tusq saddles, both Fender style and TOM?

    A worthy drop in over just buying a new bridge (either TOM or 6-saddle fender style)? I know the nuts are good, just want to know if there's a tangible bonus to sound and stablity if you have Tusq at both witness points... Also Pin from Sikth looks like he has tusq saddles on his newer B6 and...

    2-point trems are in and double locking trems are... less in than before. Why?

    Has tech evolved to the point where double locking systems are obsolete or are 2-point trems that you see on most every current modern shred guitar just a fad?

    Hot (bridge) singles in your area

    So I think I'm exiting my pupal stage and becoming the final metamorph of guitar nerd and wanting to explore more traditional designs. I'm really leaning into the Strat hunt. I just really want one. But depending on if I get SSS or HSS and I want to keep my options clear for a bridge pickup...

    Corelia - Nostalgia = Diezel VH4 Axefx patch?

    Tone for dummies question: Pickup switching and channel switching vs having 1 channel and 1 pickup for leads and rhythm

    Getting this out of the way: I really like the clear sounding tremolo pick chugs and melodic single note riffs of these two examples. Are they switching channels and pickups or just using 1 channel and the bridge pickup for all their high gain? Do they only need to up the gain for leads with a...

    Heavygaze, Deftones/Hum-likes, etc.

    Am I stupid or did Hum's influence skip a generation because there's all these younger bands making heavy shoegaze/alt rock again. Narrow Head is probably my favorite of the lot so far

    Daath is pretty gud

    I know this board loves Emil Werstler and Eyal has Riffhard going with John Browne so I figured I owed them a listen through the ol' discog The first album is kind of eh, weird nu metal but The Hinderers was a massive step up. As a whole the band has a very satisfying tone (well duh seeing as...

    Backwards slanted tele bridges...

    I want either a partscaster from the ground or a mod a cheap tele. The main thing is that I want an esquire layout with a single pickup and volume knob. But since I'm interested in tight chuggy sounds wouldn't the flipped slant work well for tightening the bass response? Do backwards slant...

    Combos for Chon-on-a-budget

    Beginner 1x12 or 2x2 combo that’s in the same universe as a Matchless DC-50? Would sleeper market stuff like the Peavey Classic be ok? Real amps, not dsp/modeling. New or used market, let’s say 1000 and under the more amp for dollar the better

    List of Radius-top guitar models...?

    LF decent pickup rings

    Import (Ibanez AXS32). The ones I got from Guitar Fetish are warping when I screwed them in and aren't even holding my neck pickup level. Dreadful things.
