    Lots of threads here lately. Didn’t want to clutter up any of the other ones so I made this one

    Brutal alt picking exercises

    Strict alternate picking is my kryptonite. I economy or inside pick basically everything and it's really turning into a problem as I dive into more and more technical music. I've been practicing the intro riff to Downfall by CoB for a few days now and it's really just kicking my ass with strict...

    NGD: Dunable Cyclops

    Hey SSO, it's been over a year and 8 guitars since I've done a full NGD thread. I buy enough that I don't feel you all want to see me spam my guitars especially since my guitars tend to only average 3-5 months before I sell them for the next shiny object that catches my fancy. But every once in...

    Single-sized neck humbuckers for lead

    I'm looking to replace the neck humbucker in my Horizon-I. The deal is I don't really use my neck pickup for cleans, I use it for leads - specifically to round off some high end and soften the attack a bit so string noise rolls off and everything gets a little more smooth. Not necessarily...

    Made a synthwave song (kinda)

    ...back in December. Lyrics have a deep meaning if you ignore the fact that they're complete incoherent nonsense and just enjoy the vibes. Everyone gather round and we'll pretend buying a MIDI controller was a good purchase and definitely not something I used for a week before never touching...

    What causes pickups to make this noise?

    My white Horizon-I has started making a loud buzzing sound every time I play something, which disappears after about a second if I mute the strings with both hands. Is the pickup borked? It's a JB/Custom hybrid which isn't exactly an off-the-shelf pickup so it would really suck to have to...

    Mystic Dream JP15

    Found this perusing the Vault, did a search and nothing came up announcement-wise. Ships within 4 months? I think Mystic Dream is THE Music Man JP color so it's cool to see it on the modern iteration https://shop.music-man.com/ernie-ball-music-man-jp15-6-string-mystic-dream.html

    Halloween Costumes

    My friends say I actually have to dress up for our party this year so I've got less than a week to figure something out. Thinking Dave Grohl or some other cop-out idea. What are you going as this year?

    NGD - Anderson Guardian Angel

    Hey everyone, it's been a while since I've done an NGD despite having a few nice things come and go since the last. We have here a 2020 Guardian Angel Player in a heavy relic black over yellow color - complete with Floyd, HSS config, and the now defunct VA booster. This is one of those guitars...

    New Coheed and Cambria album: Vaxis II

    Well, it's out. Sounds to me like a pretty heavy dip into the Prize Fighter Inferno bucket, but I think I like it? It's definitely a strong album IMO but also a large departure from the "traditional" Coheed sound again, and right after their return to form on Unheavenly Creatures. Thoughts?

    NGD - Mystic Dreamin'

    The GAS got me, and I found this on Reverb right before it dropped a few hundred in price so I snapped it up. Mint condition 2002 JP6 in Mystic Dream, with the rare combo of piezo and dots. Not sure how it got this far in such a condition, but here it is. Look how shiny So many birds my...

    Nickel or Zebra?

    Time to put new pickups in the CU24. I love zebra to an unholy degree but I can't shake the feeling that nickel might look better on this particular guitar. Might also swap in some gold screws to match the current aesthetic. The guitar in question:

    NGD: Suhr Part 1/2: Modern Terra

    If you follow the "next gear purchase" thread you may know I bought a Suhr Modern Pro from overseas to scratch my shred itch. If so you will also know that I disagreed with the frets and it is currently with Suhr for some rework. In the meantime, I found this Modern Terra in used "as new"...

    Double NGD: Royalty

    Ever since I got my PRS a little bit ago I've been getting back into metal after playing Fenders fairly exclusively for the last few years. The PRS obviously handles that fairly well, but I'm nervous about decking or blocking the bridge and changing tunings on a floating trem is not exactly...

    Would you return this?

    I ordered a LBX on Reverb that was described as "mint" and here's how it shows up: Now. Here's the listing, in which you can see the damage if you look pretty closely. I did not look closely enough, because it was listed as mint, but it is there...

    NGD PurpRS

    TL;DR: Telecaster/Jazzmaster man wants to play some metal, buys expensive purp. Pic attached. How's it going everyone, it's been a while I think. In a past life I used to hang out here, but then I went to college and my taste in music (and by extension guitars) changed. I'm a Fender man now...

    New Song "The Acoustic One"

    Here is a song I just finished that my friend and I have been working on for a while. It was written on the acoustic guitar and the electric was added in the studio. I like it. Maybe you like it too. https://soundcloud.com/metaldestroyer-1/from-the-sand

    Saw Chevelle last night...

    ...and it kicked ass! They have a very raw heaviness in their live show that doesn't come through in their studio releases. And holly sh*t Pete can scream! I have no idea how he does whole tours of hour and a half shows and just screams through the whole thing-and better than any metal band I've...

    NGD- I call her Taylor

    Mods, please move this to the proper subforum. I had an internet dumb because I never go there and since it has six strings I put it here. My bad. Well folks, it has now been a decade since I started playing guitar, and it's about time I retired the POS acoustic I started on. I plan on donating...
