    Lo-pro Edge Spring change issue

    Hey guys. The other day I changed out my Lo-pro edge 7 springs from the 3 ibanez stock springs to 4 floyd rose brand noiseless (black) springs - reason being was I didn't have 4 matching springs so just wanted to get 4 of the same. Tension is a little less on the floyd springs, but I performed...

    Help identifying some older PAFs

    Hi Guys Replacing the pickups in my Les Paul. These pickups were installed by my father in the 70s or early 80s but he forgets what they were. Just that they're PAFs. The only identifier is "59B" and "59N". My original thought was maybe DiMarzio PAF 59s, but I'm not sure when those came out...

    5153 - help me choose one

    Hey guys. Just some background - I play mostly melodic death metal but also some 80s stuff (Ozzy head). Right now I have an axe FX 2 XL+ and matrix power amp through a 4x12. The axe FX is pretty good, but I always feel like it's lacking something. However the unit is still nice, so I'm unsure if...

    NGD: Ibanez RG2027XL

    So as some may know last year I got a Carvin DC727 and didn't really bond with it. Lots of things really, but sometimes you pick up a guitar and just know it's not for you. I'm not extremely picky but it wasn't for me. Finally it sold on reverb (and their fees are starting to feel excessive..)...

    Removing active preamp from my carvin, ideas?

    Hey guys. I have a carvin dc727 with the active preamp in it. If I'm honest, the active preamp is useless. Right now the guitar has 2 volume,.2 tone, 3 way toggle (PU selector) and 3 mini toggles (coil split for 2 and phase on the other). I am considering taking the whole circuit out and...

    Cheaper Acoustics

    Hey guys. I've never owned an acoustic guitar (playing 25 years). Recently my kids have been enjoying some songs but playing them acoustically on my electrics is not great. I'm looking for a cheaper acoustic of decent quality just to play around the house. Never going to record or play live with...

    Opinions on firing a band member

    Sorry, I know we've seen these posts before. Little background. The band was doing local stuff around 2012 or so but fizzled out. A few years ago they decided to reform; just a singer, bassist and guitarist. They brought on my friend as a drummer and I came in as the 2nd guitarist. Their album...

    Strobe tuner recommendations

    Hi Guys, I'm looking for a decent tuner in the $150-200 range. I know I'm not going to get the big boy Peterson strobe tuners so I'm wondering if something like the Peterson StroboPlus is good enough (see pic)? Right now I use the strobe feature on my Sabine rack tuner and it's decent but 1)...

    Carvin FR Nut Replacement

    My Carvin DC727 has a licensed floyd with the optional floyd clamping nut installed. I tuned my guitar to A standard, and I use very thick low strings. It is a disease. Anyways, the lowest string is the problem - a 70 gauge string. The problem is that the nut slut is not slotted wide enough...

    NGD: Carvin DC727

    So if you've been reading the Kiesel thread I had a bit of an upset with the Ibanez RG565 I ordered that came in with major cracks in the finish. Sent it back and noticed a Carvin for sale that I couldn't stop looking at. I can always buy a 500-series RG, but IMO when a nice Carvin/Kiesel pops...

    NGD: Sunglasses required

    Posted about this earlier in the week but it just showed up today. First of all - this is the first guitar I have EVER received brand new in the last 25 years that required absolutely zero setup. I'm talking someone fully set this up to the point of turning a wrench makes it buzz. Someone did...

    Can't decide between these... 80's inspired

    So I'm buying a new guitar in the next few days and I'm really stuck between two models: RG550 (roadflare red) and RG565 (orange). I've had a 1992 purple RG550 before, and it was an excellent guitar. From what I know of the Genesis models, they're comparable except the neck is different a...
