    interesting pic on sweetwater? new secret jackson 14 string guitar

    Definitely a picture accidentally grouped from another listing - guessing by the tuner logos a Breedlove 12 string. Sorry. Sarcasm meter seems to be broken.

    @spudmunkey Aah, the infamous ‘Suck’ knob.

    Which amp/preamp/pedal is your core high gain tone based on?

    @sonoftheoldnorth - Genz Benz G-Flex cabs?

    In the process of refinishing my Kiesel HH2... AGAIN.

    Nice work, can’t wait to see the finished product. Your rework of the faded denim finish looked excellent, but gold flake under red has great potential too - the Alfa Disco Volante 8c comes to mind. Your in progress reel has a hint of Ibanez Crushed Ruby to it, looks great so far!

    Which amp/preamp/pedal is your core high gain tone based on?

    Peavey Rockmaster preamp; onboard boosts disengaged, parametric EQ in the Crunch ch. loop, MXR Line Driver or EQD Special Cranker out front. The Crunch channel gives a tight, dry tone with just a bit of sizzle, the Ultra channel ups the saturation and low end for fat, punchy high gain with a bit...

    Facelift: Schecter Custom Shop S-7

    The Nagel print looks fantastic, and your chosen pink pops with a great contrast against the graphic! FWIW, that Maxell ad is one my favourite pieces of pop art, would be very cool as a graphic top.

    Victory VX Kraken MKII

    The voicing definitely sounds like they’ve reined in the peaky high-mids, still not sure I would take this over other 5150 variants. Also, I don’t know who or what Lambchopper is, but for every death metal group born in the 90’s with a sense of humour, that name was right there. And now, a...

    Second solo album incoming...

    Sounds great, I really like the main melody line in this one. Looking forward to the full drop, this is probably my favourite of the released singles so far :cheers:

    NGD: 1990 Ibanez USA Custom THICC maple alert

    Oooh, SOOO good! That top looks incredible, congrats OP! I know veneers aren’t a new phenomenon, and are obviously the more commercially viable option - - but dammit that figure wrapping the edge and down the full-thickness top, that’s just to die for :wub:

    New Marty Friedman

    Love the new track, and really looking forward to the album. The phrasing and substitutions in the first half of the song feel so reminiscent of the early recordings of Marty and Jason. I can’t overstate how much I enjoyed that.

    Agile Texan (Tele7) in Ontario

    It seemed like I should throw this up as a PSA for anyone who might be looking. Found this listing while rummaging through the Gear Hunter pages on Long&McQuade. If you’re in Ontario and have been looking for one of these, the Gravenhurst L&M has this listed for $475 CAD — and as it’s off-brand...

    Favorite Compressor Pedal 2024

    Owned an MXR DynaComp years back and never found a use I loved it for. They may fare better at “infinite sustain” compression for thick, smooth lead tones, but at that time I was trying to dial up squishy, spanky immediate cleans, and the Mxr always felt like it darkened the signal in a way I...

    ATTACHING Full Size Amp on top of 1x12 CAB to make it portable like a COMBO AMP

    Budda; the voice of reason. That pretty well summed up my thoughts.

    My Sax(ish) Guitar Sound

    Nothing wrong with MIDI, it’s been used to great effect for longer than I’ve been on this earth - - but Sir, that is not what you implied. /pedantic.

    New (old) Guitar Day - Ibanez S series and 2009 forum nostalgia inside

    HNGD, and great find! The heyday of Fuji Ibbys, and I love a good nostalgia story - especially about Sabers. One of my first 7s was an S7320 found in a pawn shop under similar conditions. Congrats on closing the circle, there’s nothing quite like recapturing the “one that got away”.

    Line 6 POD Express

    Agreed. SVT + 800RB + B7K in one box covers a LOT of ground for a simple recording solution. As a near-Luddite who’s always more comfortable with hardware over VSTs, I could see this ending up on my desk.

    The Great Scale Length Tone Debate

    I’ve waffled a bit over the years, and found things to prefer in both camps. These days most of my guitars are 25.5” and that tends to feel like home - but some of the all-time favourites that I’ve owned have been 24.75”. Maybe it’s due to some of my formative years being spent on an Epi Les...

    My Sax(ish) Guitar Sound

    In all seriousness, I’d be very curious to know your method here - the note attack is convincingly “breathy” and the timbre has an uncanny similarity to the ‘thickness’ of reed instruments. If there’s no MIDI at work here, colour me impressed.

    The Orange Cab Problem (Solid State into 16ohms)

    I know this inner-monologue. I mutter it occasionally in my subconscious. Often, just before my next purchase becomes my most recent. I see you, Ted.
