    Is NAMM still worth going to?

    Hey everyone, I didn't know where to post this, but I thought I'd ask and see what SSO thought. I've had the opportunity to go to NAMM for the past few years because of my job. Sadly, I never went because of the massive expense of it all, and it's only gotten worse. I was going to finally bite...

    FS Ibanez JBM27

    Hey Everyone, I have a very good condition Ibanez JBM27 for sale. This one was a bit odd as I bought it a year ago used at Guitar Center not knowing It did not come with a tremolo arm, truss rod cover, and the serial has been stickered over. I peeled a little bit back to reveal that the last two...

    Noiseless Single Coil Neck Suggestions?

    Hey everyone, I recently received my Aviator Blackbird 6 which I absolutely love. That is, besides the neck pickup (BKP Cobra). I've never had an HS guitar before, but I figured I'd give it a shot since I typically only use a neck humbucker in coil split mode for cleans. Well... I'm not really a...

    Half Life: Alyx

    Well, it's official. A new flagship Half Life game made exclusively for VR. After 12 long years, I never thought I'd see the day we get a new Half Life game. The trailer looks absolutely fantastic and my faith in Valve has been slightly restored, for now at least. I've been planning my first...

    [NGD] Ibanez S5470Q Cherry Blossom

    Hey everyone, so this is a huge day for me. I’ve posted about it in a couple threads before (even a WTB thread) about trying to find an Ibanez with my all time favorite finish - Cherry Blossom. Since 2014 I’ve been on a hunt for one. For some history, only two production models have ever been...

    NGD: Schecter KM7 MKIII Standard (Writeup and Sound Clips)

    So I’ve been talking this one up ever since they were first announced. The USA MKIIIs were too expensive for me while the Korean made were past what I’d pay for an imported model. Then the standard was announced for $899. A great price, solid specs, and a platform to mod what ever you want. So...

    Albake21's Build V2

    Hey everyone, I figured I'd start a new thread since my first one was filled with help and discussions on that build. The time has come, build #2. This one I consider to be my first real build as the first one was more of a test. I did make some big revisions from my first model. As much as I...

    Albake21's Build Thread

    Alright everyone, the time has finally come. Ever since I joined this forum, I dreamed of having a build thread of my own. It's been my dream to build my own guitar for as long as I've been playing them. Finally I have the resources, time, and money to do so. So, if you will, join me on my...

    NGD: Kiesel Hardware Run O6X

    Hey everyone, been waiting a while for this guitar to come in. This was part of the recent Gold/Chrome headless hardware run. This is my second shot at a headless guitar and I gotta say, this time I really love it! I still don't think I can ever do without a headstock, but I'm happy to have this...

    Who can build me a custom Ibanez Wizard 7 26" neck?

    Hey everyone. I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about figuring out my favorite neck for 7 strings. I've tried 27" and 26.5" scales but they were too long for me. I play and enjoy 25.5" scale but the tension isn't the greatest. So I figured, why not a 26" scale? I've never seen this scale...

    NGD: Ibanez LACS RG7

    Please note: I am not saying their name on purpose. While he did confirm his sales rep knows about him selling his guitars, I still would like to keep his name off this post. If you know who this belongs to, please keep it to yourself. Over the weekend, one of my dreams had come true. I was...

    2019 JBM10FX Jake Bowen Signature

    Jake unofficially announced his new 2019 signature. It's basically the JBM20 but in white and with a fixed bridge. Looks to be an Indonesian made model. Looks pretty cool to me, what do you guys think? Source goes to @ibanezlacs on instagram.

    Brief & Accurate Description of gear/guitar: Ibanez RGD2127Z with a Prestige Hard shell. Awesome guitar in great playing condition. The body has some marks on it which I have pictured all of them. I do have the truss rod cover. Modifications (if any): Pickups have been swapped out for a BKP...

    FS /FT Strictly 7 Solar 8

    I tried my best to get into 8 string, and while it is fun to mess around with, I just can't get into it. I'll stick to 7 and 6 strings. This guitar is practically mint condition with a small white mark on the back of the neck. Doesn't effect play ability. Comes with a hard shell case and fret...

    NGD: Strictly 7 Solar 8

    So here we are, I have joined the ERG club! This is my first ever 8 string so we will see how it goes. First impressions, not bad at all for both the guitar itself and playability of an 8. As a heavy 7 string player, this is definitely a pretty big adjustment. The hardest part is the 27.5"...

    How difficult are applying veneer tops?

    Hey everyone! I've always wanted to get into guitar building, but I feel as if I should start off with modifying a guitar first. I would love to find an old RG550, strip the paint and apply a flamed maple veneer. I'd like to add that I am not new to DIY projects and feel that I have enough...
