    Times of Grace - Songs of Loss and Separation

    I enjoyed Hymns of a Broken Man quite a bit when it was released. At the time it was cool to see Jessie and Adam working on music together again. There were elements of KSE in that album, but they did have songs like The Forgotten One that strayed from that path. This new album is a hard turn...

    NGD - LTD M-7HT

    Been tough to hold out on the LTD Black Metal series, this year finally broke me though. Perfect metal guitars, has basically everything I'd want without needing to switch any hardware/pickups out which is rare for me anymore. It'll tide me over until I can get a hold of one of the new AW-7Bs...

    NGD - Charvel Pro Mod San Dimas Style 2

    My love of Tele shapes combined with being too poor for an Ash bodied ESP USA TE-II meant I needed a suitable compromise. It’s got very similar features, direct mount pickups, flatmount hardtail, locking tuners, bolt-on neck, and comfortable neck with satin finish. I love my Charvel DK24, so why...

    NGD - Charvel Pro Mod DK24 HH HT

    My GAS for an Ash body ESP USA M-II has to be put to bed for the sake of my wallet. This Charvel is basically an inexpensive version of what I wanted though. It’s got an open grain Ash body with direct mount pickups, hipshot-like hardtail, locking tuners, and a comfortable neck with satin...

    NGD - PRS SE Mark Holcomb

    Picked this one up new today at local store. I’ve liked them since they were released and after playing it in person through a Mesa TC-50 combo I decided it would have to come home. Fretwork and build is solid, pretty much what I expect out of a good good WMI build. I already dig the Alpha/Omega...

    NGD - LTD H-200

    Had this for around a month. Old school LTD H-200 from 1999 nearly identical to my H-207, also from 1999. I liked the 7 string model enough that I jumped on this excellent condition 6 string model for a good deal. Performed the exact same mods, new Gotoh MG-T locking tuners, Hipshot TOM (best...

    Your 2018 Best Of Album List

    Since the year is coming to a close, I figured it would be a good time to see what everyone has enjoyed the most this year. Usually I end up finding something I missed over the year. Maybe I’ve been slacking on new releases lately or there just wasn’t that much out there that I was looking...

    NGD - LTD H-207 Part Deux

    So a few months back I bought a H-207 from GC used after wanting to get another 7 string. Looked to be in solid condition for a 18 year old guitar, so I bought a whole new set of CTS pots, Switchcraft jack/toggle switch, Gotoh MG-T Locking Tuners, and SD Nazgul/Sentient pickups. Get everything...

    NGD - ESP Eclipse FR

    Scored this old school Eclipse with Floyd Rose for a really good price at my local shop. It’s a bolt-on version from the late 90s (97-99). Other than a few small dents and some light buckle rash, it’s in great 20 year old guitar. It’s also missing the trem arm, but that’s easy enough to replace...

    NGD - Schecter C-7 SLS Elite

    I've been without a 7 since I sold my Carvin DC7X and ESP Horizon NT-7 over the summer and recently have been GAS'n for a replacement. Initially I found an old school LTD H-207 which appeared to be in great shape only to find out it had a broken truss rod. Thanks for that GC... So the search...

    Arsis - New Album

    Arsis is currently recording a new album for 2018, no title yet. But they released a teaser of the completed drum tracking and James Malone playing along. Some cool stuff, but I always dig his riffs.

    NGD - ESP USA TE-II

    I had no intention of buying another so soon after getting the Horizon 3 Custom a few weeks ago. Still might part ways with my McCarty to cover this... But a crazy low price, GAS, and the burning desire to try a USA model, makes for poor decisions and moments of weakness. It came with SH-16/SH-2...

    NGD - ESP Horizon 3 Custom

    I've been thinning down my guitar herd, eliminating most anything that isn't ESP. Not that my others weren't nice, I've just got to the point where I found myself only playing my ESPs. I guess I've just finally figured out what I like in a guitar and they seem to check the most boxes. I had not...

    NPD - Left Hand Wrath Deluxe

    In my search for a replacement for my trusty HM-2, I set out to Torch Thrones. But alas, my journey ended with a Bitter Loss, they were sold out in under an hour. But Life Goes On and thankfully, I saw The Truth Beyond. I travelled down the Left Hand Path to Reverb's 4th of July sale. I got this...

    NAD - Randall RG100ES

    Went on a Crowbar bender last week and this popped up on Reverb which is never a good thing. The Memorial Day coupon didn't make it any easier to resist. Always wondered about these amps, they were popular with the 80's guys. It's pretty basic as far as amps go, but it is capable of heavy tones...

    New Pedalboard Day + Switching System

    I'm determined to finally make use of my pedals without doing the "A**hole Shuffle" every time I switch them on and off. Also, wanted to clean the board up and make it neat. First I picked up a new Friedman Pedalboard to replace my Pedaltrain. Super heavy duty with some really cool features. I...
