    I think it's genius.

    NBD: Edwards RD

    I'm not really a bass player, but I like fooling around with them once in a while. I haven't had one for a long time, so I can barely play the thing lol. But I've been enjoying it a lot. This is the signature bass for the guy in Dir En Grey. I actually do like Dir En Grey, but that's not really...

    NGD: ESP Viper

    Wow, never thought I'd own a real ESP. Even E-II's are usually out of my price range. How could I afford this one? IDK, it is pretty beat up, but honestly I've seen other ESP's in worse condition go for twice the price I paid for this one. There's dents. There's cracks. But despite that, the...

    Neck pocket cracks (not just the finish)

    Looking at a cool auction, but I can see that there are real neck pocket cracks, not just in the paint (as it's been removed). At the moment, the guitar is very inexpensive. You think you could just glue and clamp and it'll be fine? Or so long as the neck isn't moving, just leave it be? Maybe...

    HELL DUMP - comedy heavy metal band I saw last weekend, somewhere between GWAR and ...Jim Henson?

    I went to see my buddy's band play the other day, and I was super impressed by one of the bands they played with, and I've been spinning their tunes non-stop since last Saturday. The band is called HELL DUMP. They played great, sounded tight ... (except that one guitarist went direct to FOH...

    What is happening here?! And how do I do it?!

    @ 2:30 That shit is awesome but what the hell is it and how can I pull it off?

    NGD: Pierrot Green Edwards V (Are you still scared of clowns?)

    Was not planning to buy a guitar today, but sometimes, you take one off the wall, and you just know. I played it in the morning, couldn't stop thinking about it all afternoon, and then went back and bought it. This model is called E-eZ-170-7SN PG (yikes! And you thought Ibanez model names were...

    What's the worst that could be wrong with an electric guitar that's got no signal?

    Looking at a cool ESP auction that's ending today, though there's plenty of time for it to jump out of my price range before tonight, but it just got me thinking. It's a old beat up RD, and the listing says that there is no connection when plugged in. I noticed that it has EMGs, and it's being...

    Meshuggah's Catch-33 reimagined in the style of Aphex Twin

    Yo wtf? But also, hell yeah! Saw this randomly this morning and it's so good. Travisnotcool does the whole album, and he nails it. Honestly, I'm not really the kind of person who often listens to dance music, really the only artists I actively listen to are Shpongle and Aphex Twin. And now...

    What's your weight limit?

    Was looking at a really cool vintage Aria Pro II, there's plenty of time left on the auction but the price was low so was thinking about placing a bid... Then I see the weight in the description. 4.55kg (10lbs). I don't have any serious back problems. But my other guitars are not that heavy...

    NGD: Barely Baritone - RGR621XPB (Shimamura Gakki Spot Model) 26.5" scale

    Having previously owned a 27" 8 string and a 28-5/8" 7 string, I just don't feel right posting this guitar in the ERG subforum. But if the mods wanna move it, by all means. For the moment it's only just in drop C. NGL, I was drunk when I put the bid on this guitar. Total impulse thing, IDK...

    Numerical Control Society (prog stoner? doom FFO Earth? maybe) (my former band)

    The band that I left in Chicago just released a new EP. It's pretty cool. I was very minimally (and I mean practically not even) involved in writing 3 of the 4 tracks. The pattern is usually slow and working up to a climax/finale. I'm slightly loath to call it "stoner" because it's not very...

    I'm more attracted to guitars that look like they've been around the block

    Not sure why or how it happened, but brand new guitars have been looking boring to me. And I'm not talking about factory finish flaws. I want chips in the paint, DIY mods, buckle rash... I even enjoy the speckled beginning stages of oxidation, though of course I'm not really interested in full...

    NGD: The BEST B.C. Rich Shape (?)

    Lol sorry for the clickbait title. Having said that, this is my 4th B.C. Rich, all of different shapes, and it is a very good one. I saw this and I was like WTF! Who the hell sends a guitar through the mail like this? This one is from a different island even! narad has posted some...

    Death metal bands that play in dropped tuning on 6 strings

    The other day I read that Blood Incantation plays in drop C—a tuning I normally associate with metalcore. Of course there's also Nile who played drop A on sixers for many years before they moved to 7's. Who else is out there? Honestly the way a lot of DM bands mash power cords on the 6th...

    What might cause this finish flaw?

    I don't know anything about how these kind of transparent matte satin finishes are made, but I hope this isn't related to the neck warping or something weird like that.

    I think this neck looks wrong. Am I wrong?

    Am I going crazy? Is it an optical illusion? Or is this normal?

    E-II M-II 7B stained my fingers black (and other impressions)

    Warning: I'm basically here to bitch and talk smack. Sorry in advance. Went to Big Boss Kyoto and played the E-II M-II 7B baritone in pearl white. It was my first time to ever play an evertune. The guitar played great, but they had the evertune set up so that you could NOT bend (the pitch). I...

    Identify this tremolo with mysterious engraving

    Look at this photograph: It's on a 90s Japanese RG, model number unknown (quilted veneer? top with the sides and back painted black, locking nut has visible screws on the back of the neck, AANJ, non matching headstock, F98 serial). However—notice that the engraving is on the ARM side! I...

    Universal Basic Income

    I read an article that gave me a new, interesting perspective on UBI. https://www.scottsantens.com/the-toothpaste-argument-for-universal-basic-income-ubi-gotz-werner/ I've always been for UBI just at face value, but I had never thought about it that way before. Seeing how we've done such a...
