    Floyd Rose - To upgrade or not to upgrade?

    So, I have two guitars, a 6 and a 7 that both have Floyd 1000s. I would like to swap them both with OFRs. I know both bridges are much made out of the same materials, but the German OFRs are made to tighter specs. So my question is should I buy the OFRs or should I just upgrade the parts on...

    My volume knob gets in the way. Suggestions???

    So I have recently purchased a Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid C-1FR. It totally slays. I don't have a NGD post for it yet (haven't been able to take proper pictures of it). My problem is that the first knob down from the pickups (bridge volume) gets in the way of my playing when I strum. Most...

    Advise On A Re-Finish

    So I have a 2003 Schecter S-1 Elite (Black Cherry). It's a mahogany body with quilted maple top. It also has abalone with another yellowish-creme binding around the whole thing. I'm really entertaining the thought of making it a project guitar. What would I need to do to sand it down, get...

    NGD! ESP/LTD Buz-7

    Christmas present to myself. Very comfortable. ESP M body but thinner. Arch-top with and arch-bottom as well. Maple fingerboard is sweet and smooth. Snow burst is absolutely beautiful. One thing I can't figure out is what case will fit. The molded SKB case is too short for some...

    Help! My pickups aren't centered

    So I've got an ESP/LTD MH-417 and I've just noticed that the pickups are shifted slightly to the treble side. :wallbash: Doesn't really matter now since there's EMG 707's in there, but I want to swap them out for something else like BKP, Dimario etc. I'm worried that I might lose tone due to...

    Help me with your "keen fashion sense"

    OK, I'm getting some new BKP's soon and I was thinking I would get some opinions on which covers to get. I'll leave out the model due to the fact that I think the thread would go in an undesired direction. :rolleyes: The guitars: ESP/LTD MH-417 - Pretty much decided on the camo, but willing...

    Help me pick a neck profile

    OK, here's the issue. I'm trying to figure out what neck profile fits my hand the best. I have a LTD MH-417 (thin U) and I love how flat and fast the neck is, but my hand cramps when I play chords in the first 5 frets (especially when I haven't played in a while :lol:). I'm looking at getting...

    Drop C scale question

    I was wondering if a 24.75" scale would be a little too short for a drop C tuning. I'm looking at mainly an ESP Eclipse FR due to the fact that they don't offer it in a 25.5" scale. Thanks.

    Getting new Juggernauts

    I will soon be getting a Juggernaut for my ESP Alexi, which currently has an EMG 85. Do I need to get new pots, being that I'm going from active to passive? Or am I just a pickup retard? :confused:

    Passive equivalent for EMG 85 and 707

    I currently use 85's and 707's in the bridge position on my 6's and 7's respectively. What would be the equivalent pickups from Dimarzio and Seymour Duncan? Thanks

    Anyone in Chicagoland own any of these 7's?

    I'm looking for: Carvin CT6, CT7 (preferably with floyd rose). ESP BS-7 ESP BUZ-7 If anyone out there has any of these, I would like to try them out. None of the stores carry them, and I don't want the hassle of buying then returning if I don't like them. Please help. Thanks

    Carvin CT7 Color

    Hey there, can someone help me figure out what color this is? I came across is and immediately fell in love. It looks like Black Stain Quilt but that color doesn't match what Carvin has on their website. Thanks
