    The V and X Shaped Guitars Thread!

    I have the same Ironbird, it's a cool guitar and I'd love to get another one and put a floyd in it. Yours look great.

    Anyone Keep Going Back To EMG?

    B Blackouts are weird pickups. I have one in my Ibanez RGR08LTD and a set in my BC Rich NT Jrv, they sound brutal especially on the crunch channel of the Ultra + or the boosted vintage mode of the Rectifier, but they really feel like a wall of "all the frequencies, all the gain". I still love...

    Anyone Keep Going Back To EMG?

    I was checking a set of 81/60 that didn't produce any sound, so I installed them in my Jackson COW6, I was surprised at how good the 60 sounded in the bridge. It's still high gain and tight but definitely sounds a bit more vintage. Love it. Unrelated, but EMG pickups seem to be less available...

    Oh my god...this CAN'T be real.

    That V against the marshall , tho. I'd buy that.

    Oh my god...this CAN'T be real.

    40+ years of exposure to Slayer solos will do that. Probably one of the worst X shape, ever.

    Playing metal with HSS guitars

    I've only got 2 HSS guitars left (one Jackson Fusion and one Yamaha RGX1212s, both stock), it's mostly humbucker. I only use the neck for cleans and some solos, and mostly ignore all other positions and pickups.

    Anyone Keep Going Back To EMG?

    After checking more reviews and clips, I've decided to try the 55 set in the end, if that doesn't work then it'll be 58/60a. Anyway, I recently got my hands on an Ltd F350 that has dual 81s, and I had forgotten just how sweet a 81 in the neck is. Not as fluid/liquid as a 85 but fluid/liquid...

    Anyone Keep Going Back To EMG?

    So I bought a 84 Explorer that was converted to passives, which are okay but not the best for metal. So I'm thinking of putting EMG in it, just undecided on which set (guitar will be used in standard to play everything from thrash (Vektor/Coroner) to jazz): 85/60 85/85 Fat 55 58/60 I already...

    Multiples Of The Same Guitar (An Appreciation Thread)

    If I like a guitar I always try to get several of them. So I have : Jackson DK2M x3 ( two swirls,one white) Ibanez RGR08 LTD x2 And my #1: Jackson DKMG, in cobalt swirl. Bought the one on the left for 350€, the bridge was changed for an OFR, and it's pristine. It plays phenomenally well, and it...

    Any love for Floyd Rose Bridges?

    I used to hate them when I was a teen, now 75% of my guitars have some kind of FR bridge. Out of them, only two are OFR, rest is either licensed (mostly JT580/590) or Schaller Lockmeister. Lately I've enjoyed setting up FR bridges, I find it very soothing and relaxing.

    What’s your current fav tuning?

    My main tuning is D as it works for anything, any style, then C# for death metal stuff, with the occasional B (sludgier death metal, and jazz) now and then.

    Ibanez EDR470 tremolo block

    I'm not sure how much variation there is in LoTrs II block size, but I swapped out the one in my RG for a 32mm Schaller Lockmeister without any issue. Something in that ballpark will surely work.

    Jackson/Charvel 2022 thread

    I like the warrior as I was looking for another one, the 26.5 baritone is cool, but it feels a bit... too late ?

    Any appreciation for the good ol' Duncan Distortion?

    I love the distortion, it has the chunder I'm looking for, more than tight enough for my needs and goes well with both my mesa and peavey (not so much with the H&K). I especially love it in mahogany guitars for some reason. The neck version also works very well as bridge pickup, maybe slightly...

    Dean Guitars 2022

    I'm really excited for the single pickup zero, I hope it will be available somewhere. Even Thomann lists the other models, but not that one. Given how popular the ltd black metal series is, that could help them get some attention maybe.

    It's the annual "What gear came in and what gear went" thread... 2021!

    There's this dilemma...

    If you're willing to hunt for a replacement 10 years from now at whatever price it will have reached, then sell them. Otherwise just wait for better days and acquire new guitars then.

    Your "signature" guitar

    I've already got one of each (6 and 7), the 7 needs a refinish... But I can't find anyone to make the swirl :(
