I'll grab a picture when I'm home from work later and post it. And it's a knockoff "Jackson" that looks pretty damn close from a distance. There's some finish flaws here and there but I ultimately got it to be a beater/project guitar that turned out to be way better than expected but still in...

So long story short, I impulse-ordered myself a Chinese Jackson Firebird copy a little while back and I'm (mostly) happy with how it turned out! After a little setup work and a pickup swap, it plays and sounds pretty great, much to my surprise, however the one thing I keep finding myself having...

I'm in the same boat as you it seems! King Vs are my favorite shape but with the prices of Jackson customs continually creeping further out of my price range, I've been trying to find a smaller builder that'll deliver what I want (basically the pro series King V with a reverse headstock, H/S...

If they're coming your way, check out Flatbush Zombies live. Drake/Migos would probably be a fun show, but if you're looking to get "sold" on hip hop, FBZ are one of the best live acts out there and they're on tour in the US now. They're incredibly talented performers who definitely have their...

Just picked up one of these bad boys for a steal! Not usually my thing but the deal was too good and I've been wanting something without a Floyd for a while.

That's honestly the only reason I'm still interested. The guy has it listed for essentially the value of a mint condition 3dr, so he's gonna have to come down to something reasonable if I'm gonna be the one to buy it. What would a fair offer on this be?

Don't get me wrong, for the right price I would definitely pick it up. However, his posted price is more in line with what most people would pay for a pristine 3dr. As far as I'm concerned (when it comes to the value of the guitar), the neck is essentially worthless and I'm paying for a body and...

Well I was thinking that if I can get this at a decent price, I can always find a replacement neck later on and/or just get the scalloped frets fixed up by a luthier. The dude was being kind of an asshole when I emailed him but I'm checking it out this weekend and hopefully I can talk him down...

So I may be getting my second ticket into the Charvel owners club this weekend! I'm going to check out a 3dr in rainbow crackle this weekend but the neck is half scalloped and its definitely not a pro job. Can anyone give me a good idea of how this would impact the value (if everything else is...

Good to hear that it isn't totally trashed. I have a few luthier friends who can probably pretty it up as well, so if all is good when I check it out in person, it'll be mine! Thanks for the help guys! And as far as the JT-6 is concerned, I've never had any issues with the one on my 275 deluxe...

This is the only one that shows the scallop. I'm fine with it not being perfect, I just don't wanna spend a few hundred dollars on an unfixable headache. As long as it looks okay, I'm gonna check it out this weekend hopefully.

So while searching Craigslist last night, I stumbled upon one of my dream guitars (Charvel 3dr in rainbow crackle) for a reasonable price and had to check it out. Everything looks either in good condition or easily fixable (the Floyd nut looks like someone took a flathead and a hammer to it...

Been listening to it for a few days now and while I feel that the music is some of the strongest in MA's catalog, the production is extremely underwhelming. I agree with the above comments that the drums are too high in the mix though I think it just adds to the whole mix being kind of...off...

Personally, I never found the floating bridge to be much of an issue unless you retune a lot (which it sounds like you don't). Up until about two months ago, I've only had guitars with Floyds so I'm a bit biased, but I kind of enjoy what others seem to think is a hassle. Changing strings takes...

I've always been a bigger fan of the Tucker-era MA output than anything they did with Vincent, so I'm pretty stoked to see him back in the band. The new song sounds absolutely killer and while I don't think they should have taken every Vincent-era song out of the set, I'm actually mad that I...

My band hopped on a show in Jersey a week ago and we just got featured on the venue's YouTube channel. If you're into thrash with some hints of groove and death metal, check it out!

Sweet! Just ordered a couple sets of both to try out. I'm really surprised that Ernie Ball never made a 10-52 set in Stainless. They were one of my favorite brands prior to finding out about the allergy and I was really disappointed to find out how scarce the market is for stainless strings.

So I'm in a bit of a predicament, guys. I'm looking for good set of .010-.052's for my guitars but due to my nickel allergy, they have to be 100% stainless steel. The only option I've really found is D'Addario's Pro Steel line, but I'm not a fan of how they play/how long they last at all. They...

I had the Unholy Grail for a while and while it didn't exactly do what I wanted, it was a cool pedal. The build quality was top notch, the delay was very versatile, and the boost was dirty but definitely usable depending on the context. If you're looking for a delay + clean boost, look...
