"Here's an innovative, eccentric guitarist with outlandish outfits and a huge emphasis on aesthetics" - "OH HELL YEAH, I LOVE STEVE VAI " - "Oh sorry I was talking about Tim Henson" - "Wtf, get this cringe poser outta here!"

Hi everyone, I hope this the right place to post this issue, but I have a rather simple issue with my iLok licenser that I can't find an answer for on the internet : -As I didn't have space in my SSD, I moved the folder containing my programs to another hard drive, and now, my iLok doesn't...

My current GAS is Tim Henson's signature model, I dunno why, but there's something I love about it

Brand : Schecter Model : Jeff Loomis 7 FR Mods : None Why bought : Found what I thought was a great deal for a B-Stock (well, it was but I got buttslammed by import taxes) Still own : Yes Would buy again : Without a doubt Rating : 10/10 Review : In terms of playability, BY FAR...

Hi everyone! I wanted to know everyone's opinion of H&K Grandmeister amps for modern metal, keeping in mind that I also have a decent boost pedal that can be used in front of it if necessary. I think it has great versatility but I don't know if I should be looking for something else for some...

Damn, what guitar is that ? Incredibly tasteful and classy

After reading your thread, you should be careful about not tunnel-visioning too hard and ending up making a bad decision Your focus seems to be all over the place, and to be honest, I kinda get it, I can get very stressed/excited at the prospect of new gear, so much that I sometime lose all...

well, in a floating bridge, there are two forces that pull the bridge on each side to keep perfectly straight : the strings on one side and the springs on the other The thing is, tuning a string changes the overall tension applied to the Floyd, making it move slightly, but this move is...

Just wondering : what are gloves useful for when playing guitar ? I was surprised to see there was a brand specifically dedicated to guitar-playing gloves, that's a whole new world to me

Wow, nice ! They found a way to make discount burl look super classy, that finish is gorgeous

I guess it should be the case too, and as I said, my EC 1000 had pretty worn out frets too, but that doesn't explain why a Musicman Luke that had new frets felt absolutely awful to bend on, maybe the frets being too small for my preferences ?

I saw this thread, and it's partly why I made this one, because people just talk about tone and aesthetics, but I truly feel like rosewood feels terrible when doing bends and things like that while Ebony and Maple are fine because they're smoother and no one else seems to have this problem

I think your biggest problem is that you're looking at a certain aspect of music while ignoring others, which is why you feel like the bands you like (and you also probably like them because you mostly judge music based on a certain set of criterias) are superior to the rest. Music is an art...

Hi, everytime I search for comparisons between fingerboard woods (at least the main ones), there are lenghty speeches about the density of the woods, the tone they produce,... but am I the only one that feels like rosewood is awful to play on ? I used to own an EC1000 guitar, which was a...

Hi, I recently acquired a new guitar but I can't identify what type of wood the fingerboard is made off, nor can the previous owner, could someone help me find what it is ? I guessed it could be brasilian rosewood but I'm not sure at all Also, does the wood seem to be in good condition ? If...

Thanks for your replies, sadly, it's a second hand guitar, so returning it isn't an option, but it doesn't seem to affect playability, I'm just worried that it could cause issues down the road I don't think the pickup cavities are crooked, you can see the string holes are not perfectly aligned...

Hi, I recently realized that the hipshot bridge wasn't perpendicular to the neck (see picture), and while it seems like it doesn't affect playability and the strings still seem to have normal alignement and spacing, but I was wondering if it was something that could be fixed, and if yes, how...

Hi, I would be interested in setting up my guitar a bit better to make it more comfortable, it's a Schecter KM-7 that I have recently acquired Here's a picture of how it is right now : The action at the higher frets seems a bit high to me, would straightening the neck and lowering the...

I have the same issue with my Shecter JL7-FR, foam can fix it
