Hey there SSO
In brief, I'd like to swap the pickup of a fanfret 7. The guitar is routed for straight-scale pickups, rather than fanfret ones, and thus the default pickups' pole pieces are not quite aligned with the strings.
I was going to grab some Fishman Abasis, but in the current economy I...
Heya lads,
So December is rapidly approaching, holidays are almost upon us, and I feel with how things have been going, I could stand to spend some money on myself. While I've kept up-to-date with new gear releases, I haven't actually tried anything myself. So, could definitely use some advice...
Hey, so, new gear thing from Boss:
Audiophile headphones + amp modelling + 3D sound manipulation (i.e. place the virtual amp that's being modelled in the headphones behind or in front of yourself in the virtual soundstage).
Also apparently you can put it in Flat mode, and use it with another...
Hello youtube and welcome to my unboxing video! Today, we cry for help because our practice amp at below TV volume doesn't sound like a Diezel Herbert!
So yeah.
I'm currently using a Yamaha THR10X, and it's a great practice amp. Unfortunately, what I want isn't a great practice amp, but this...
Hey lads,
I've pretty much decided to jump on the GOC run, which is partnering with Guitarmory, so you can get a Guitarmory set of your choice.
Now, I know the general opinion of Guitarmory is pretty good, and I know the Foxbats are really nice versatile pickups, but I've no idea of the rest...
So GOC Guitars are doing a group run on their headless model, apparently partnering with Guitarmory pickups.
690 USD, 6,7 or 8 string, fanfret, american ash body, maple/wenge neck, SS frets, their own hardware, buyer's choice of Guitarmory pickups.
Made in China, which I'm perfectly fine with...
So I've started going to classical guitar lessons.
Apart from getting a very unpleasant reminder of what it is to be a complete beginner on an instrument, I'm finding it really hard to concentrate on both proper posture, playing the right things, and getting a nice, even sound with my right...
Hey SSO!
I've been missing having a seven string laying around, to noodle on and do the chugs. I'm not in a rush, and I'm keeping an eye on the second hand market, but it's pretty weak in my country, and it's always good to know what I can get new.
Bedroom player, no genre preference...
So apparently Orange Amps, in partnership with an online exam company, are launching a certified, online exam with appropriate courses, for Rock Guitar. Syllabus is available freely, the courses can be accessed freely after registration, or taken online with a paid teacher of theirs, and the...
Just saw this pop up in my youtube recommendations:
I'm generally fond of Dimmu Borgir and symphonic/melo-black, I also really like Shagrath's vocals in general, but this is a bit, uh...
Anyways new album on the 4th of May, and the video itself isn't bad.
edit: Actually on re-watching the...
So in between bouts of staring longingly at the Padalka Saturn (Ahhhhh), I decided to check what is actually kind of sort of within my grasp, in terms of ergonomic headless guitars. Nothing fancy really required, just a light, headless guitar.
To my surprise it seems the cheapest good headless...
Hey guys,
So I'm using a yamaha thr10x for practice and home noodling at basically conversation volume. It's nice. I like it. The heavy distortion, however, leaves something to be desired. I'm using the built-in Southern-Hi preset, since it's decently tight and lets me hear mistakes in palm...
Hey guys,
So I've decided it's finally time to build my own guitar. I have no woodworking experience, but I was shown how to operate a bandsaw, a table router, rasps and files. I will be working in a friend's workshop, which specializes in wooden children's toys, so I have access to:
- Bandsaw...
Hi peoples,
So i've been recommended a beginner theory book by my teacher, since I want to learn a bit of theory - seems like a useful thing to know. A lot of my musician friends agree it's a great book and I can't go wrong with it, the author is really well regarded and all that.
Thing is...
Hey guys!
As the title states, I find myself utterly unable to find an affordable 6-string guitar to my taste.
The things I need:
- Hipshot bridge
- Non-quilt top
The things I want:
- Active pickups
- Natural finish
- Around 800 EUR
Basically I want the cheapest Hipshot fixed bridge...
Hi guys,
First of all, sorry if this is for the Beginners/FAQ section, I wasn't too sure - please move it if so.
I have the chance to buy a Schecter Hellraiser C-7, with Floyd Rose and EMG 707s for 550 EUR.
It's a third-hand guitar, and I know it's been gigged with, so I presume it's at least...
Hi guys,
I'm currently using a Schecter C-7 SGR and Yamaha THR10X for my bedroom playing. They are perfectly adequate for my current level of guitar mastery (impressively bad), however I kind of want a new, slightly better guitar.
As the title suggests, I need help choosing a guitar in the...
