    NGD: Anderson Drop Top T

    Really excited to share this one! I've had tele GAS for a while now, but it was impossible to find a tele that had all of the features I wanted, including: - gorgeous top - forearm/belly/heel carve - thin enough neck - flatter radius After looking at a number of brands (Fender, Suhr...

    What is the Archetype: Plini Amp #2 Based On?

    I absolutely love the midgain amp in Archetype: Plini and would like to find a model that'll get me close in my FM3. This reddit comment claims that it's a Friedman BE100, but the Friedman model in the FM3 is way too hot. I particularly like the way the Plini amp responds as a darker, edge of...

    Setting Lead Patch Volumes on Modeler

    Hey all, I'm relatively green to playing live, so I apologize if this is a silly or frequently asked question, but I wasn't sure what to search for. My live rig is a Fractal FM3 into an EHX 44 Magnum power amp into a Port City 2x12. My problem is that I have no idea how to set levels for lead...

    Will this live backing track setup work (Scarlett 2i4)

    Hi all, I'm trying to put together a backing track/automated patch change system for my drummer and myself. I haven't used a backing track setup in years, and it was an old janky setup with an iPod touch. The picture below is how I'm envisioning it, but I want to make sure something like this...

    Why do people set a higher trade value in private sales?

    A lot of the time, I'll see an ad that says something along the lines of "Price is $x, but trade value is higher." It makes complete sense when a store does this; they'd rather give you store credit to incentivize you to spend your money with them. I really don't understand the reasoning in...

    Monroe Vallejo - Deciduous (FFO Plini, Intervals, Periphery)

    Hey all! I released this earlier in the summer and wanted to share. I know there's a separate forum for this, but I also just moved to San Francisco, so if you're in the area and dig this kind of stuff, I'm wide open to collabs. Thanks for listening!

    Is there a difference between a regular cabinet and an extension cabinet?

    I'm shopping around for a 1x12 or 2x12 cabinet (4x12 is too big/bulky/expensive for my needs), and a lot of the ones on Craigslist are marketed as "extension cabinets." Is there a meaningful difference between these and regular cabs?

    Hey all, My absolute favorite guitar on this earth is my 2001 Ibanez S1520FB, and no matter how hard I try, I can't find another neck profile that feels this comfy. Does anyone have any recommendations for: 1) Ibanez guitars that use the same Wizard Prestige 2) Other Ibanez neck profiles...

    Custom Pickup Covers?

    Hey all, Are there any companies that make custom pickup covers? It's hard to justify almost $400 for a covered set of BKP, and I really like the sound of the Duncans I already have, but I'm having a hard time finding companies that make interesting covers (by "interesting," I mean things like...

    Having trouble with 2x P90 + DPDT series/parallel config

    Hey all, I'm trying to rig my guitar with 2 P90s (Seymour Duncan Phat Cats), 1x volume, 1x tone, 3 way toggle, and on-on DPDT switch so that I can switch between parallel and series for the P90s. I have been using this wiring diagram, since it's the only one I can find for my ideal setup...

    After 12 years of playing guitar, I have written my first song in six string standard tuning.

    I apologize if this is not the place for sharing music. I'm not really sure where to share on this forum when it comes to original pieces. I'm not trying to make money off of my music, but I completely understand if self promotion is not allowed. Anyways, after playing in drop tuning for most...

    Where do you buy your small parts?

    Hey all, I'm working on a number of projects and need a lot of small parts (pots, nuts, jacks, switches, tuners, frets, etc.). Normally, if I need just one or two things, I'd just find them on Reverb, but it wouldn't make sense to do so with the amount of parts I need since shipping would add...

    What is the most sustainable finish to use on a guitar?

    Hey all, My dad and I are getting into building guitars for fun. I feel very strongly about climate change, so our challenge is to use as much reclaimed wood as possible and make everything sustainably sourced and non-toxic. We've located some good wood to use, but we're considering our...

    Ibanez Guitars with Wizard Prestige Neck Profile

    Hey all, I'm looking for a Prestige S with the same neck profile as my S1520FB (I would look for another one, but they're becoming rare, and I'd prefer something with a hard tail.) Is there a way to see which guitars have a specific Ibanez neck profile, or is there another neck profile that's...

    NGD: Mom's Ibanez

    Hey all, This is potentially the most belated NGD of all time, but I wanted to show it off since it's pretty special to me at this point. This guitar was my mom's. It's a MIK RG470 that she purchased in 1996. She used it for her rock band that she played in when she was pregnant with me, which...
