Great composition. I am not a huge fan of the tone and production, but certainly enjoy the music as a whole.

Haven't seen the stream of video mentioned here, but I thouroughly enjoyed seeing them live. One of my favourite bands, and they certainly conveyed the energy in their music. EDIT: Ninja'd with stream.

Depending on where the string is breaking you could check for sharp edges that wear away at the string. I have had to sand/file tuning pegs and string saddles in the past due to very small imperfections.

Nice guitar man! I really like the look of the neck and the inlays, nice concept and well executed by the looks of it. I have to ask though: Are those pics taken after you intonated it, or before?

Nicely done. Smelled funny from the start.

Non black, passive pickups and a seemingly decent bridge on Ibanez 8 strings for under $1000? I think that can be called progress! I'm not in the market, but this will give the potential buyer a lot more options than the (whether you like it or not) stereotypical offerings that are available...

Hey there, There are many choices of replacement pickups out there, which should cover just about any wish you have. The pickup model, however, is less important than the sum of the whole chain from fingers to speaker, which means there is no magic solution for getting the sound you want by...

Ernie Ball strings have a tapered end in my experience. The end of the string which you put through the machine head hole will not have the same diameter.

That first pic in the thread cracks me up: It strikes me that no matter how many guitars you (could) have, and how well-known or accomplished you are, a man will always grin like a cheshire cat when he gets a new guitar.

Congrats. I read the other thread and it seems you made a sound decision. I saved up for my Vigier for ages, and it was well worth it. Enjoy... and pics.

Very, very nice. HNGD! When you take more pics, be sure to take some of the back.

Thanks Rook, I'll give that a try. I know you're a reliable source of all things DiMarzio Fred, you already helped me out on the RCF, but I thought someone might have some more 'through the grapevine' intell here.

I saw this and love it. Interesting divide in the opinion whether or not to chamber it. but obviously all worked out satisfactory. Do you guys know if the PAF pickup he was given by DiMarzio might become generally available in the future? I am in grave need...

Tried them on my 27" 8. I bought a few packs when I was in the U.S. because they were the only ones I could find on short notice. I really don't get along with them, and I usually quite like a lot of tension, but it's just the difference in tension among the different strings that gives the set...

Not too sure about Air France but a lot of European airlines have been getting fairly strict with their rules. I found on the net that my airline would allow instruments in gigbags as carry-on, but if the plane was busy you would be asked to check it in. The woman at the desk said the crew...

First class international train: The wine just keeps on coming. Now I have to devise a strategy to stand up and pack my stuff without looking like I'm being pushed around by the invisible man.

Don't sell all your 6 strings! However much enjoy played ERG's I still go back to 6's every now and again. Do you have any experience with 8's by the way? They are an acquired taste and vary a lot in scale, feel etc. that you only notice 'hands-on'. Not saying you should reconsider, but try and...

Hey guys, thanks for the welcome!

The Carvin models seem to be very popular here and have many (semi-) custom options. I pm'd you a link of distributor fairly close by. I personally wouldn't want to risk ordering an Agile considering the added cost and risk as consumer abroad. But of course we do indirectly pay import tax on...

I haven't played D Activators, but I can vouch for the Blackouts being pretty decent. I haven't used actives before but these surpassed my expectations for clean use and overall flexibility. I find them quite balanced throughout the range, and give you that typical active trait of predictability...
