    NGD: The Reverend of Meh...

    So I got this used Reverend Sensei yesterday. Paid $750 for it. The overall impression is meh. Locking tuners work, but feel kind of cheap. TOM and tailpiece feel substantial. The frets feel unevenly finished, some ends smoother than others, but no fret sprouting. Finish seems to have been...

    Reverend Guitars?

    Really like the specs on their Sensei series. Attractive pricing and MIK to boot. QC-wise how do these stack up against similarly priced MIK ESPs and Schecters?

    Fernandes Mockingbird Copies. Any Good?

    Didn't really know these even existed. What's the quality like on them. They're MIJ from what I can tell.

    GC Finally Going Under?

    Anyone here know if GC will be defaulting this month, and if so, do you think there will be any massive on-line liquidations of their remaining stocks?

    The Dunable Horror MkII

    This arrived yesterday. A Dunable Cyclops. My initial "straight out of the case" impressions were 1) it's light, and 2) it's ungodly smooth to the touch. Imperfections? Blemishes? Screw-ups? None I could find, and I looked. The finish was executed perfectly. Hardware (some of it's been...

    Aristides Owners. Was It Worth It?

    Was thinking of pulling the pin on one of these, an 8-stringer, assuming it's still up on Reverb in a couple of days, and would like to get some feedback from any SSO owners on theirs'. Don't remember ever reading a negative review on one, but I'd like to get as much feedback from current users...

    EBMM Axis QC?

    Having no experience with the brand, I was just wondering what the build quality/control is like on these. Thanks.

    Choosing the Right Woods for a Custom 7 Baritone?

    I have a custom build starting in a couple of months. It's a 7-string with a 27" neck that will be tuned to G standard and hit with a lot of gain. I was thinking of going with a basswood body and a maple neck, as I'm not digging swamp ash or mahogany atm on account of the extraneous flub. So...

    Screw the Eagle, the PRS MT-15 Has Landed!

    It's built like a tank, and chugs hard when asked. What more could you ask for in an amp? Here's a quickie demo I did while auditioning some IRs the other day. https://soundcloud.com/user-669582196/mt15tt2 What I'm really digging most about this amp is the tone, more specifically the tone...

    Cheaper IR Pedal, Mooer or Hotone?

    I got $$$ that needs spending, so a Mooer Radar or a Hotone Omni?

    Placement of an IR Pedal in a Signal Chain?

    If you're using a real amp where should you be placing your IR pedal if you're also using a reactive loadbox?

    This looks promising.

    Kvlt Guitar/Pedal/Amp Builders Who Do It Better Than The Big Names?

    Right now I'm really high on Plx-Fx. I'm running three of his pedals in various combinations, and am getting some really good tones out of them. I'm especially digging his take on the Grind-style of pedal he makes. Interesting to note that his seem to be made to better standard than Fortin's, as...

    3 Band Compressor Pedals?

    Is there a compressor peal out there atm that allows you to compress your bass, mids, and treble independently?

    Catalinbread Naga Viper Y/N?

    It's a potential new treble booster day for me, and I'm trying to decide between the Catalinbread Naga Viper and the Laney Iommi pedal. Does one have a clear advantage over the other?

    Lundgren M7 & Black Heaven 7-String Tonal Characteristics?

    Was thinking of trying out either an M7 or Black Heaven. Are they significantly different in tone, or are the differences simply subtler, more nuanced?

    Where You Ever About To Give Up On a Piece of Gear, And Then...

    I have this 7 string Kiesel. It's rock solid build-wise, keeps excellent tune, and has great ergonomics. Unfortunately, it's still flubby sounding as hell even after swapping out the stock pups for some BKPs with a reduced bass response. I kept trying different amp settings, different IRs, but I...

    Looking For Recommendation For Repair Work in the Boston/Cambridge Area?

    I need some work done on a couple of guitars, set-ups, pup swaps etc., and was hoping to get some recommendations here. I tried looking into things locally already, but for every good review I find I see another catastrophically bad one negating it right below, so I'm kind of at a loss as to who...

    A Noiseless Humbucker-Sized Single Coil?

    I was wondering if someone makes a humbucker-sized noiseless single coil pup? I like the sound of one of the coil split BKPs I have in a Kiesel, but it's too noisy to record with.
