    Choose Your Own Adventure

    Early Dimebag any day. Djent just rubs me up the wrong way, like Dutch Gabba music. Too much out of tune bass and not enough squeals

    Anyone here switched to V or Arrow shaped guitars?

    Weirdly, my favourite guitar for seated playing is my twin neck SG - it just sits perfectly. V's are fine for me when standing, but the vast majority of my guitars are some flavour of super strat shape because I find they are best for me across most positions and styles. And all are easy to get...

    Do you use the tone knob on your guitar?

    All the time - for different tones, in combination with volume pot adjustment, combined with phase switching, you name it. It's an incredibly useful tool.

    What is The Lexus of Guitars?

    I'm assuming by "Honda" you mean cheap, with terrible quality and reliability? ESP are certainly fairly consistent, but not anywhere near top quality (a bit like Lexus). Of all my guitars, the Charvels and the Ibanez's are probably consistently the best quality. Gibson has some excellent ones...

    Favorite examples of "bad" tone in metal

    I could happily listen to Dimebag's tone all evening. Love his tone through most of Pantera's albums.

    How often do you use the full bridge humbucker?

    Almost all the time. I use bridge for most solos and lead line, with neck for rhythm - on most of my guitars it is a much nicer sound (although I see a lot of folks above have the opposite approach) and I rarely bother with any single coils, although a few of my guitars have them I just don't...

    Your reason/justification for owning more guitars? Help!

    All of mine sound different, play different, feel different. They bring out different styles. No two are alike. It makes it easy for me to write music for various different bands or artists, or for my own bands. Or if I want a change, I'll switch to a different guitar and something will suggest...

    Rate Your 7 String Guitars

    And my 3rd 7 string is not used with my current band - it is a very different flavour. The Ormsby HypeGTR multiscale - the most amazing neck I have ever played. I was expecting to buy the Strandberg equivalent, and had played around for a half hour with one, but this was in the shop and looked...

    Rate Your 7 String Guitars

    The 2nd one I got was a 7 string BC Rich Warlock that I got for one reason only, to be an addition to my 6-string Warlock when adding a guest guitarist at major gigs (we did a support for Monster Magnet that was on a much bigger stage than our usual places, and I wanted a Warlock at each side of...

    Rate Your 7 String Guitars

    I currently have 3 7-strings so will pop up a post about each: Firstly my original 7-String. An Ibanez RG series that I picked up as I found I couldn't get to grips with the width of their 8-string neck. This has gigged with me for 10 years or so. No modifications, other than the band logo...
