    Re-entrant tunings?

    Found this quote from Frank himself: "I use a .010 gauge set for the bottom four strings, starting with the A string, and for the top two strings I use the D and G strings from a set of .009s. So gauge-wise, low-tohigh, it is .036, .026, .017, .013, .024, .016. It takes a moment to get used to...

    Re-entrant tunings?

    I'm interested in setting up an acoustic guitar with the Gambale reentrant tuning. Has anyone done it? Suggested string gauges?

    24 fret singlecut guitars

    Not sure if the Akerfeldt would be a "worship band" guitar. Reminds me of the time I was on a roadtrip with my cousins in Poland, both of which are religious (one is actually in a seminary to become a priest!) and I had control of the stereo... I was letting it go through my playlist at random...

    Bassd on what part of the description?

    How to learn to sweep pick

    The terms get kind of confused and used interchangeably, but from my perspective economy picking just deals with pick direction. You can still have an individual stroke for each note that you play. Sweep picking is playing notes on adjacent strings in a single motion.

    Ibanez 2021 models (Headless!)

    I definitely like the look of the bridge more than the fugly blocky hipshot bridges which seem to be the most popular headless.

    Ibanez 2021 models (Headless!)

    Sadly it seems they are still using grub screws for string locking at the headstock... why do headless guitar makers make us suffer with these?

    Fretboard radius, do you care?

    Anything below 12” is basically unplayable for me. Just used to my fretboards being quite flat. My Vigier Shawn Lane has no (or infinite) radius, completely flat. Just love the feel of that.

    Awesome guitar! But I wanna know about that acrylic headless too. EDIT: Nevermind, just saw your other thread

    Chapman guitars - any good, nowadays?

    After the way he dealt with Riff City and his otherwise shitty personality I wouldn't even bother looking at any of his stuff. It's made in the same factories as a lot of other great brands that don't do that kind of shit, so why not just buy one of theirs instead.

    The Carvin / Kiesel thread

    I keep seeing this on in-stock guitars, what's the deal? Did they just make them before they put this rule into place? RMN - Roasted Maple Neck THNN - Thinner Neck Profile (not available with Roasted Neck options)

    To me the neck profile feels very much like the RG2228, I felt right at home as soon as I picked up the guitar for the first time. No problems at all with the neck width..

    8 String Suggestions

    I have the RG2228 as well as an Zeus Z8X with the thinner neck profile. I would say the neck profile is fairly comparable to the RG2228. Not exactly the same but it didn't really take me any adjustment. In fact it was more similar than my Ibanez M80M which was basically flat for most of it and...

    NGD: New Ibanez 2021 model - RGDR4427FX

    You can get them through any Ibanez retailer. They will order them through the national distributor. Here in Canada I just go to my local Long & McQuade store and ask them to order Ibanez parts if I ever need them. Can order everything right down to specific screws. Ibanez has a catalog on their...
