    PRS Silver Sky DRAMA with Zach Myers and John Mayer???

    Maybe he got the Fender Custom Shop to relic it. They would've done it with great glee and that could have made Little John and the PRS unhappy. Here's how they do it:

    Please help me find the right instrument cable

    The best cables I've used were handmade ones by Death Valley Cables, California. Brilliant cables at down-to-earth prices. Unfortunately, they seem to have closed down, but you can still find an occasional one on Reverb. I have 12-yr old ones that have been used for practice and for the stage...

    What is your favorite Non-Gibson Les Paul?

    I believe a chambered body would sound different from a solid bodied LP. The one I've played didn't just lack the heft, the sound somehow didn't seem to have the same boom and slam. Of course I must admit I haven't played many chambered LPs and I could've been biased because I knew beforehand...

    The Carvin / Kiesel thread

    The Carvin / Kiesel thread

    Thanks, man. Appreciate that. I don't intend to ask for huge departures. S6 with a few options from the Guitar Builder Tool, nothing non-returnable except for a tele-style bridge.

    The Carvin / Kiesel thread

    Is Kiesel a reliable, honest maker of high-quality guitars? I know Carvin's quality was impeccable, but I don't know much about Kiesel. I need to know because I live halfway across the world from the US and I find they're pretty difficult to communicate with on email - they probably prefer phone...

    Halo have returned the excess amount I paid them. Paypal say they can't do anything since the transaction was done more than 180 days ago. Which means that if you're buying anything with a lead time of 5 or 6 months, they've got their ass covered, not yours. There's been so much of bad feeling...

    Need Advice

    I sincerely apologise for my second post here being a rant, but I need advice from people here - people who make, play, own and sell guitars. Here goes: About 7 months ago, I commissioned Halo Guitars of Cupertino, CA, US to make a guitar for me. The only real customization I asked for were...
