    RG550 Overhaul

    Hey guys! I recently picked up an RG550 from Dead Undead, and I wanted to throw some newer pups, an HxH pickguard, fix the pickup switch (seems to cut out at first when picking the neck), add a coil split pot, replace some of dat rustiness with the screws, new tuners, and just give it a general...

    NGD: '89 RG550 (WIP)

    Hey guys! Pics first, of course :) Our resident Tristan (Dead Undead) was trying to get rid of this one locally, so I offered to take it off of his hands all the way in Austin :lol: There were a few delays on my end, and I ended up not getting to play it until 5...

    NGD: Axe-Fx II XL (I'm screaming)

    Hey guys, pr0nz first (even though you all know what an Axe Fx looks like by now :lol:) mind the clutter, my desk is a tiny folding table at the foot of my bed :lol: I really don't know what to say. I've wanted an Axe Fx since I was 15 (turning 19 in 8 days), and I worked my ass off...

    How do you guys write songs that flow so well?

    Hey everyone, Not sure if this the right section for this, but I'm sort of hitting a wall in terms of writing, enough to where I'm sort of uninspired to keep recording and playing guitar. Whenever I sit down to record something, it's usually random riffs that I've come up with that day, and...

    NMD: SM57 (Almost everyone has one)

    Hey guys! Pics first, though you likely know what it looks like already :lol: I know this is totally not the right way to set up a mic, but I was lazy and didn't wanna set up my big ass boom stand :rofl: Not much to say, really! Picked one up at Guitar Center earlier this night...

    Help me waste my money on Mics that I don't need.

    Hey guys! So I'm not really digging the sound of my acoustic guitars through either their on-board EQ into my POD, or my Dean Markley soundhole pickup direct into my interface, and I want to be able to record dumb acoustic tracks. There are a few microphones that have seriously stood out to...

    NMD: Mackie MR5 MK3 Monitors

    Hey guys! Boring monitor pics first :) Probably really boring for most, but I'm super psyched. I spent 2 hours A/Bing some cheaper monitors, but the Mackie's were the absolute best in my price range, at least at the GC I went to. I sort of wish I'd splurged on the 8-inch...

    Pickup Routes for SE Custom 24 7-String (Sorry)

    Hey guys, So this question has been on my mind for weeks, and I couldn't find much regarding it. If I completely skipped over a thread, I apologize. How big are the routes on the SE C24 7-String? I'm planning on throwing the COVERED Nazgul/Sentient set in mine, but before I order and...

    NDSD: Kog Volca Beats Analog Ribbon Drum Sequence Synthesizer (What a mouthful!)

    Hey guys! Sorry if this is in the wrong section! :( Lo-fi pics first :) So, not much of a story here. I'm a die-hard metal fan, but I love anything synth related, and when I saw this guy for $150, I had to have it. I love fun, small things :) and before anyone says it, YES LIKE MY...

    Alternative to Sony Vegas? (Free or Cheap)

    Hey guys! So, I'm getting more into making videos on youtube relating to music, and I had a bad ass camera upgrade (Nikon Coolpix to Nikon D5300 :wub:) recently. However, Windows Movie Maker seems like a total impediment with a bad ass camera, so I'm interested in better editing software...

    N(controller)D: Akai MPK mini

    Hey guys! Shitty pics first :lol: So, I went to GC a few days ago with a friend to buy strings, when I saw this little guy in the glass counter in the studio section. I'd been wanting a MIDI controller for awhile, so I asked about it, and found out they only wanted $60 for it...

    Hey guys! Pics first :) Last night, my mom presented me a $150 visa giftcard from my Aunt and Uncle that had been lost in the mail since my graduation (June), so today I set out to spend it, since I couldn't throw it in my "Axe-FX saving's account" :lol: I really only wanted to just...

    Good, cheap ext. drive?

    Hey guys! So, I've accumulated a lot of crap on my laptop's internal drive. I've gone through and deleted what I don't need, but the problem still resides that I'm soon going to run out of space. Ordinarily, a drive swap would be my first option, but I've actually been given a Microsoft...
