    What do you guys use to take care of your guitars?

    My guitars are full of fingerprints and stuff. Clean the dust when you change strings, and a little dry wipe over the fingerboard is all that's really necessary. Use the lemon oil to give the rosewood/ebony a deeper clean whenever you use it (every 6 months is more than enough).

    Playing and on my computer

    You need an interface, like a Focusrite Scarlette. You won't be happy with the built in sound, because of latency.

    And Justice For All Axe FX Ultra Tone

    Blame that on the ....ty wood in the LPJ. I used a LPJ and a Hetset. I imagine if I had used a heavier guitar with an EMG 81, it'd sound a lot closer. PS I don't have access to a EMG 81 anymore. I sold them off after I got a 58/58x, Hetset, and 57/66. And, yes, I do have guitars with...

    And Justice For All Axe FX Ultra Tone

    For sure. My double-track emulation is pretty good though, don't you think?

    And Justice For All Axe FX Ultra Tone

    Realistic flub included. http://soundcloud.com/itchyman-2/and-justice-tone What do you guys think? I've been piecing it together for a while. I think I finally nailed it :shred: I haven't heard a single good AJFA emulation for the Ultra. This one steps up the game for this unit. Preset...

    Is 10-56 enough for 26.5" and standard tuning?

    Thanks for the info guys. Hopefully soon I could reward you with some 7-string pornography!

    Is 10-56 enough for 26.5" and standard tuning?

    There's a tension calculator?? Sweet!

    Is 10-56 enough for 26.5" and standard tuning?

    Title says it all. Also, for a full step drop. I'm also considering 10-62's. EDIT: Strings. This is about strings. EDIT #2 some context: I generally use 11-52 on a 6 string in standard tuning with 24.75" scale.

    Plastic EMG's to metal EMG's...questions.

    The covers on EMG's are not removable. Also, they are the same size as each other, so the plastic ones wouldn't fit over the metal ones even if you could get the covers off. The dog ears are indeed larger. You'll probably have to file them down a little - all the metalworks EMG's I have had...

    E-II Eclipse with ebony fretboard Vs Maple fretboard

    An advantage I can think of with maple fingerboards is that you won't have to worry about lemon oil at all. Dirty? Just wipe it off with a damp cloth. Plus it looks awesome on that white Eclipse, especially with the black inlays.

    Here's something pretty cool

    1) It doesn't sound like a P90. Think of it more as a fat PAF, with the EMG edge. This is definitely a humbucker. 2) It's noisy when you compare it to other EMG's. It's still virtually silent when compared to your average passive. The X-variant of the 58 in the neck is wonderful. It's big...

    Here's something pretty cool

    Yep. The 58X is what I ordered.. and, yes, the 58 is a thing.

    Here's something pretty cool

    What this is is the only EMG 58X in Brushed Gold, at least so far. I was told that the machines had to be reconfigured in order to make it. :agreed: It's going in the neck of a LTD EC-1000CTM (the full thickness one), with a standard 58 in the bridge.

    Would mixing pickup brands be stupid?

    Also, be careful not to mix actives with passives, unless you've got special wiring. Also, mixing single coils with humbuckers can be tricky, if you want to keep the sound and feel they are both meant to have.

    Why is Ibanez putting the DiMarzio PAF 7 in their 7 string prestige RGs?

    Have a V7 instead you whiny person. Also, a RG752FX is barely a prestige (I mean it has a gibraltar bridge). You get what you pay for.

    BKP Aftermath + Adler = too thin sounding?

    I've had 3 guitars with the aftermath, and still have 2 of them, and the secret with it is careful pre and post EQ. It's probably the tightest passive pickup I've used, and that allows you to dial in more low end and gain, which will give you that big mean tone you're looking for.
