    A Majestic NGD Indeed!

    That's my favorite color I have seen of these. Congratulations! If they offered this color and started offering a baritone scale 6 (like they did for the JP6 for a time), I would be unable to not buy one.

    It's Official: Metal Guitarists Don't Get Laid

    OK, maybe it has been posted before, but damn if it is not comedic gold.

    US Political Discussion: Biden/Harris Edition (Rules in OP)

    We probably agree on most things - but to explain why I support building - full stop - whether it's luxury apartments or section 8 or anything in between is that the person buying a $2.5M condo/apartment will, if the $2.5M apartment is not available, buy the next nicest thing. This then pushes...

    US Political Discussion: Biden/Harris Edition (Rules in OP)

    It's a good step (referring to ban on wall street speculation in home ownership). That's such a small part of the problem. It's an easy problem to get mad at, but I am shocked at how little effort is put to addressing the actual problem. The problem with housing is primarily zoning, with other...

    Korean vs Indonesian guitars QC

    Same here. MIK used to be that hit or miss, but now it's near MIJ levels. I suspect MII will get there!

    Graph Tech Floyd nut replacement

    To be clear, I generally want a locking nut with a Floyd. The supreme tuning stability is a big feature for me. That said, I rather like on my EBMM JP guitars with the non-locking nut that I can put them in a drop tuning without having to grab tools. Takes seconds instead of a minute (and the...

    Black Friday Purchases

    I bought some adjustable dumbbells that have been on my wish list for years.

    NGD: Impulse Gibson buy.

    That's a very good color. Not sure I have seen that on an SG, but I like it better than on a Les Paul.

    Is anyone else hitting that age where they're just not up on/don't care about music like they used to be?

    41 here, and I make a point to both hunt new music and explore areas of music I missed in the past. Getting stuck in a rose tinted rut is a real thing, but one I actively try to avoid. That said, part of getting older is understanding and being comfortable with precisely who you are, so it's not...

    AI and it's effect on your music, your job and the future

    AI is already pretty good for doing a first pass of something. Need to write a letter of recommendation? Prompt it to get the structure and then fix the overly generic nature of AI writing. I have used it to break up a bit of writers block when I was trying to write a challenging message in a...

    Those of you bands that have never had you in them - why?

    I would answer your question with a question. Of the bands that those of you are, do you even wonder if you would and/or are? Put more succinctly, do you has?

    Older, less hyped BKPs like the Painkiller or Aftermath

    Until it can be 18V modded, it will never be THE SSO pickup. :)

    Fender Bruno Mars sig Strat

    Great specs. Great color. Some real changes on the contours. That said, $3k. Woof. It's nitro so I get it, but not a price that would entice me.

    Question on first 7 String

    6'4" dude here with medium sized hands. You will not have a problem fretting the notes on a 27" scale length. The distance between frets part is minor. I play a 27.5" Baritone all the time, and it's a subtle difference with one significant change. The location of the harmonics for pinch...

    Lots of shootings...

    It's 100% that 2019 is the last year FBI data is reporting. It is very true that there was a big uptick during the pandemic. I have seen data from other surveys showing the rate went way up during the pandemic, and more data that the rate seems to be dropping a little bit recently. I am not sure...

    Lots of shootings...

    Worth noting: The rate of violent crime has been on a decades long decline. How often you see a news story is not the same as how often things happen. That's why smart people make decisions from statistics and not what I saw on cable news this week...

    Which boost for Mesa Mark?

    I agree that Marks do not need boosts - I would say that the JP2C in particular does not need a boost. Not only is the Mark IIC+ type amp one of the tightest of the Mark Series - the build in shred function is basically a boost - and it's great. It adds some gain and what I would best describe...

    Which boost for Mesa Mark?

    While it's an impressive necrobump, at least Shaner30 is coming to it with great advice on the JP2C. Perhaps 5 years too late for the OP, but I fully agree with his advice and was coming to post the same thing until I noticed it was from 2018.

    What is your 6 string guitar of Choice for Drop C tuning?

    Old picture, but that's my MIJ Jackson RR24 playing progressive metal in Drop C. It's still my go to for that tuning. Had an EMG81 in the bridge before, has a Fishman Modern Alnico 5 now.

    Schecter Sunset-7 Triad (triple coil)

    Sticking to the thread - yeah I very much agree with this. I am a little worried about the mix but I dig the sound of this pickup. It has a unique thing going on.
