    Fret Buzz Issues? (Cheap China Guitar)

    So I imagine all the frets would probably need filed down a bit? They do look untouched (I think?) as I can look at my Conklin and the fretson that look a little filed and not so rounded off like on Chinese junker. Could that be something I learn to do myself? I dont have the best of choices for...

    Fret Buzz Issues? (Cheap China Guitar)

    I have a cheap guitar from China I have been having issues with (I know, its cheap, its chinese, but I like it more than more expensive guitars I own and have owned for some reason). Its a no name Douglas, so its straight from the factory before Rondo Music gets ahold of it I guess. Anyways its...

    A few Floyd Rose questions. FR Newbie

    So this is just a misprint then? Or do some Floyd Roses say "Floyd Rosd"

    A few Floyd Rose questions. FR Newbie

    I just never seen a Floyd Rose misspelled before. I understand licensed Floyd Roses but other guitars similar to the cheap one I have they said "Floyd Rose" not "Floyd Rosd". It works fine besides me having to pull back up on the whammy bar to get it to go back in tune. If I push the whammy bar...

    A few Floyd Rose questions. FR Newbie

    Thanks guys, very helpful. Now what about this being a fake floyd rose? Does that make it junk? I feel like it would do essentially the same thing so its not a huge deal especially being in such a cheap piece of junk guitar. It seems like it would probably be made of some cheap metal I would...

    A few Floyd Rose questions. FR Newbie

    Its a cheap no name chinese guitar straight from the factory. Its whatever, I got it for shits and gigs honestly but in a weird way I kind of like it haha. Its a douglas before rondomusic gets their hands on it, a douglas scope 727 I believe. It says "Licensed Under FLoyd Rosd Parts" ROSD? Im...

    A few Floyd Rose questions. FR Newbie

    I broke my high E string and am curious if having a missing string is bad for my floyd rose? I am trying to get some new strings this week just debating on ordering them or running to the music store if I can get time. Is it bad to adjust action while there is tension on the strings? I raised...

    My backup guitar is ringing once notes are stoped.

    Upon doing more looking into it I had the pickup wired up right. I believe its the fact that this hunk of junk has ZERO shielding in it. No shielding paint, no metal tape shit ... nothing. Also, with the pickup from my conklin it doesnt seem to do that weird noise that I was getting anymore it...

    My backup guitar is ringing once notes are stoped.

    Sorry for the book!! I think its the pickups guys. I have checked everything and these are no joke the WORST/CHEAPEST pickups I have ever seen. This guitar is straight from the factory in China. It is a Douglas before if gets sent to rondomusic. I knew what I was getting myself into just didnt...

    My backup guitar is ringing once notes are stoped.

    Sorry for posting so much here but I am having an issue with a new guitar I just got. Its a no name Douglas straight from China as opposed to getting it from rondomusic. I know its not the best guitar but I wasnt expecting it to be this bad. The guitar has a floyd rose in it and part of me...

    Notes changing pitch when guitar moves

    Makes sense, my other guitars dont seem to do it, well do it as bad I guess as I have never really noticed it and was making sure it wasnt a sign of something wrong. Thank you

    Notes changing pitch when guitar moves

    I noticed today when I move my guitar a bit the notes bend (sort of). Its as if everything kind of goes flat if i move my guitar too much or something. Is that normal?

    Bugera T50 Metal Tone??

    Is it possible to get a good metal tone with a Bugera T50? I am getting one to run my Eleven Rack through as I tried it on my buddies and it sounded pretty good but I am curious if I could get a metal tone with that head alone?

    Conklin GTG-7 Tone Pot Bypass??

    Yeah it doesnt go away when I touch stuff and its not unbearably loud when swtiched to humbucker. Its just annoying as my other guitars do not have this very subtle buzz and I would like to track it down and the only thing I can think of is this coil split shit that I will never use.

    Duncan Invader Pickup Height

    I had someone tell me that with Invaders you can and might want to lower them a little bit as opposed to say stock pick ups, is this correct?

    Conklin GTG-7 Tone Pot Bypass??

    Of course I can only hear this when on a high gain metal patch but still my other guitars arent like that at all.
