    Anyone play the Orleans Stage-7 acoustic from Schecter?

    So, I've had this little thing for a few months now, I don't understand why there aren't more 7 string acoustic guitar on offer, even that model is now discontinued. It's a great guitar, playability is just perfect, it's rock stable, stays in tune. But the best thing on this is the sound. It's...

    Anyone play the Orleans Stage-7 acoustic from Schecter?

    This guy's got one : The pickups make it sound insanely bright to me, which might be a good thing to give the low B some definition, but that was one reason I didn't want to get an Ibanez AEL207 which had a maple top. Now it's interesting to know it's a spruce top, I'd love to hear it unplugged.

    New D'addario NYXL 7 and 8-string sets

    This is awesome news, not only do we have an option for a balanced tension set for 8-strings, but it’s a NYXL string set. Looking forward to that 9-80 set. At the moment I have LaBella HRS Crazy Eights on my 8, they’re pretty damn good with regards to tone but lack just a tiny bit of...

    Which brand of strings are hermetically packed?

    LaBella strings are sealed too. Note that only daddario string sets are sealed, singles are not, they're just in a paper envelope like Dean Markley. Never found a corroded one though, but when I get a single it's usually a heavier gauge for the low B (.060 or .062)

    String Tension Pro - a new string calculator

    I just came across this while going on the planetwaves website. It definitely needs to be advertised more, thanks for doing this ! This is awesome ! Are there ways to order string sets based on these preferences ? For what’s worth here is what I get for my 7 and 8 string...

    NPD: Dr Boogie kit

    I agree, I’ve already etched PCB while I was in high school, that part was not that fun, and it requires toxic things like iron chloride or ammonium persulfate to do the etching. uk-electronic’s got very cool stuff, my next pedal will probably be a delay pedal with tap tempo. I would love a TC...

    Ibanez Iron Label Fanned Fret 8 Prototype (NAMM 2015)

    Please no !!! Abalone looks so cheesy, the only place where I found it looked great was the tree of life inlay on the JEM 10th. but abalone binding is too much bling bling for me, glad Schecter didn’t do that for the Banshee. Blank fretboards on the other hand… I like it, unless the inlay work...

    NPD: Dr Boogie kit

    hey guys, first time I post in this section of the forum ! So far my gear in the drive area consisted of my Hughes&Kettner Tubemeister 18 and an Ibanez Tubescreamer (my first ever pedal, still in love with it <3) which I paired with my MXR Dynacomp to get creamy lead tones. Not exactly what...

    Let's talk about fret sizes

    For me, it’s a comfort issue. Bigger frets mean they will often take more space and so the space between the frets will be narrower. When fretting on these it means the string will be in contact with both frets long before you reach the fretboard. This feels weird to me because I can’t really...
