    Kiesel Plugin (Not Amps)

    I really like the McRocklin suite. It has that funny scooped aspect to the sound that reminds me of boss modelling, and I feel it lends itself well to the heavier reverb-delay sort of stuff. I like to think the infamous steel panther dist pedal also sounds the way it does for this reason. I...

    New Schecter Models Megathread

    I think it's because I'm so used to looking at typical superstrats that I feel much more comfortable with the "limp noodle" style headstocks. I absolutely love the JT headstocks, but generally, I see a superstrats, whether they have fancy figured tops or not, a modern iteration of a classic...

    New Schecter Models Megathread

    I think the headstock shape is quite nice, only that I don't think it works in reverse form. Has a good blend of modern and traditional features IMO. I'd definitely go over that headstock over the snapper one, for example (in the non-reverse config, of course) as it just looks a little more...

    The 7-string guitar completely replaces the 6-string guitar ?

    Like others, I'm far more comfortable with a 7 and only have a 7 now. Admittedly, I like more lead stuff, so the 7th string is there to provide me with some low-end headroom and to decrease the need for downtuning. I do feel my thumb stretch more when wrapping around, but other than that I...

    Customizing a current guitar vs custom ordering

    While you do get the cost benefits and time benefits etc... you can know what you want done on a guitar, but can one actually achieve it? I can have specs of a dream guitar I'd like, and have all the parts, but that doesn't mean that the craftmanship or even the finish effect will turn out the...

    3-way blade switch vs toggle switch

    Thanks for the reply. Totally understand what you're saying, and it's exactly that reason why I'm in the process of deciding. I probably wouldn't have even come to this question if it wasn't for that. I'm aware that if one were to ask people what their favourite guitar was, or what their...

    3-way blade switch vs toggle switch

    I understand that this is completely subjective, but I was wondering what people prefer generally, assuming that the blade selector is only a 3 way. I personally can't decide which one I like more, and personally, I hate that feeling. Regards

    Why are Suhr 7s so rare now?

    Apologies, looks like I've used the wrong words. Sorry If I upset you all. "I'm not sure if it's your Japanophila talking, but Caparison can't hold a candle to Suhr, at least not consistently." I think that you've hit the nail on the head. I think of consistency, with a proven formula when I...

    Why are Suhr 7s so rare now?

    Honestly, as others have said, Suhr has a lot of competition at this point. The main impression I get of their guitars and as a company is that they are more of the traditional design as opposed to modern. When people go for extended range, it's normally a modern thing, which is why modern...

    Ibanez AZ 7 string Mockup

    I'm a bit late probably (to comment on this (mini 4 month revival)) but if you're looking for a super strategy style 7 strings, basically EVERY Japanese guitar brand will have their style. I personally think that the az series was for the Japanese. I ended up not caring for the 7 strings...

    Floyd Rose and neck radii

    I have a Floyd rose equipped guitar, and I've been olaplay it for several years now, and I've always been fine with the action. It just came to me when I was thinking of compound radii. For Floyd rose locking nuts, for guitars with let's say small radii, so are more curved, so people manually...

    25.5 inch Vs 27 inch scale on Solo/Lead

    What I'm really scared about is if I will still be able to bend. I remember snapping a .10 on a 26.5 scale with just a standard full step bend. What I'm happy with is with a step and a half (3 semitones) bend safely. Will that be possible with a .09? I'm not willing to go any lower than that.

    25.5 inch Vs 27 inch scale on Solo/Lead

    I'm sorry, I know each guitar forum already has many threads on scale lengths, but I don't find such the amount on lead aspect of things. Everyone knows that the 27 (probably objectively) is better for rhythm, but what happens if you want to also do solos? People say that you get a more...
