    Your preferred guitar for shred

    Anything with a good feeling neck - fretwork and string spacing matters most, I prefer not to wide neck and can handle most profile except the very thin and wide ones like some Ibanez which make my hand cramp after 5 min. If I had to pick one brand it would for sure be Music man. The Luke, JP...

    My no.1 guitar is not doing well, need replacement!

    Both are great options - try them out - the newer Yamaha Revstars are really really good guitars form the 2 of them that i tried.

    Passive bridge pickup recommendations

    I love the Bare knuckles medium output pickups, which can bring you open sounding PAF-like respone with a medium output, somewhat hotter than the more vintage spec'd PAF-style pickups. I love my Abraxas and the Black Dogs seemt to be the most popular choice among the bunch if you want classic...

    Mayones Legend vs Skervesen Tamandua

    I would easily go for Mayones, I have first hand experience with both brands (owned Skervesen, played several Mayones). Also worth to think about is that Mayones are more expensive - but if u can stomach the price you will get a guitar a few steps above... Mayones is really one of the top...

    NAMM 2015 Day 1 Photos!! (UPDATED WITH DAY 2!)

    Mayones.... stunning. Tom Anderson... Same here. That Misha sig would have been a dream guitar, but would never buy a fiddle with that big band logo on neck in that price range.

    Skervesen Raptor vs Mayones Regius

    I have played both and currently own a Skervesen. I would say Mayones definitely is in another league quality wise - Mayones all the way.

    Help identifying a head

    Drawing looks like a Divided by 13 but since you said the triangle was made out of metal my guess would be Komet amplifiers

    Am I the only metal guy who doesn't use an overdrive pedal?

    Some amps need an Overdrive to get the sound and feel that I want - and some doesn't. I prefer when I not have to use an overdrive. Just plug and play - save for some boosting and a small touch of delay for soloing.

    Matt's first KxK? KxK In-Stock 7DC #27 - Faded Blue Jean Birdseye Maple Top!

    How did I miss this?! Probably the best guitar I've seen in the latest months. This one is blazing cool!

    Neo-classical shred "at home" tones

    This is very hard. Lead tones are very personal and it's both the sound and especially the feel of the amp that matters to me in a good lead sound. What price range do you talk about? Tha helps a lot. And how heavy rhythm sounds do you need? Many more hard rock oriented amps sound better for...

    Favourite Guitar Body Style?

    Strat derived bodies. I really like classic vintage fenders, but also newer variations like Suhr, Blackmachine, Skervesen, Daemoness, KXK and so on. Les Paul style is very good looking also. The traditional gibson shape or the older versions of PRS Singlecuts. To mention is that these body...

    EVH 5150 III 50 watts. Not is for all the world. :(

    The EVH5150 III is popular, and for good reason... But personally I don't like it too much either. If you want similar tones but more pissed off and thicker when plugging straight into the amp - I vastly prefer the Peavey 5150/6505 series to this new version.

    Brown sound challenge!

    I just realised how hard it was to find an amp in sub 1200 price that does brown sound convincingly. Egnater Renegade seems to do a decent job even tough it lacks something in the tone to be a true brown sound. The EVH 5150 50 w is great but I am sorry to say that I think it's no brown sound...

    Need some opinions on original mix. (Melodic metal)

    Sounds good, but a little more would have benn great as mentioned above. I am an advocate of loud vocals but, they might have been slightly too loud. But that's nitpicking.

    New Metal/Orchestral Song

    I really like the intro. It's wacky sounding in a good way. And the riffage is fkn sweet. :D

    Tough Mix

    All the guitars are very good sounding, the cleans are really beautiful. The only thing I feel is that the whole song feels like it is mixed very loud (almost as you expect it to clip). So maybe lower the levels a little? Other than that the drums sound a little bit to digital especially from...

    Is it sacrilege to replace d-activators?

    The all or nothing feeling you are talking about... I feel the same when playing some pickups with too much output. So my suggestion is to get a set of pickups with slightly lower outputs. A Peavey 3120 with a lovepedal boost can bring you enough gain (in my opinion) no matter how weak pickups...

    NGD Mayones Regius 6 custom shop

    Photography isn't to bad, but I admit you are better at choosing guitars than taking photos! Very nice to see a hipshot at that regius :D

    Music Man Guitars? General Opinions?

    I would say - since you are living in the US - that Music Man might be the most bang for the buck high end guitar that you can find over there. They are very, very good instruments. Sounds great and have maybe the best playability while still feeling somewhat traditional in my opinion (faster...
