    NGD: Ibanez AZ 2204 HRM

    Dealer photos: This guitar rules. I found out last month I was getting a one-off payment from the Irish government because I worked in a hospital during the pandemic, and that, along with some other tax credits went towards this. I don’t make very much money, so I’m pretty selective with...

    Pickup Recommendation for Ibanez AZ

    I recently got an Ibanez AZ (NGD thread incoming when I get a chance to take half decent photos/videos). I’m enjoying the single coil tones a great deal, but I don’t particularly like the Hyperion bridge pickup. It feels very warm, round, smooth, not particularly clear. For contrast, I have...

    Released my first song - Heartroar

    Hey all! Here's the first song I recorded after a recent session in my friend's home studio. It's not perfect, but I'm very happy with it, and I've spent so many years being overly critical of myself that I'd rather release something that I like than nothing at all. Bandcamp Hope you dig it.

    I am not a clever man - Floyd Rose

    A clever man would not have stripped the thread of one of the bridge screws when adjusting action. Now that I have established that, what can I do to sort the situation out? I haven't had a Floyd-equipped guitar since I was a teenager, so I'm very quickly learning how ignorant I am. On another...

    Dealing with being made inaudible at a jam

    So, I feel abit awkward asking this, but lately I started playing at a jam night in a local pub. I broke up with my fiancée last year after things got abusive, and this jam has been an amazing way for me to get out, meet new people, and just have a good time after what's been a very difficult...

    Floyd Rose uneven

    Hey all! I got a guitar a while back which was my first Floyd-equipped guitar in about 10 years. As you can imagine, it's been a wild ride learning just how much a noob I am. Currently this is how it's looking to get things level: I'm about to change the string guage to 9s from 10s, and...

    Exercises for developing fretting hand?

    Hi all! So, for the majority of my time playing guitar, I've had a fretting hand injury that severely limited my ability to play and practice for as long as I would like. As a consequence of that, I leaned heavily into right hand and rhythm stuff. I've now recovered from the injury itself, but...

    NGD: Mayones Duvell Elite, Black Limba, 27" Scale

    This is the guitar of my dreams. Here are my own terrible pictures: Here are the pictures taken by Zjon, which are infinitely better than mine: Getting this guitar has been a journey in and of itself. I've been dreaming of a Mayones since I learned about them about five years...

    Pod Go presets

    I'm finding the Pod Go quite overwhelming with options, and it's teaching me that I'm not very good at dialling in tones. Would anyone be willing to share their presets? I'm looking for tight rhythm tones, lead tones, and ambient cleans. Any help I could get would be amazing.

    FT Schecter Supercharger Mach 7 Pickups

    These pickups are a great choice for someone looking to brighten and tighten up dull, muddy, or flabby guitar. They've got a snarling midrange to them, and the split-coil tones are lovely. I'm interested in a Friedman BE-OD, Revv G3, or a Mooer GE-200/150. I'm totally up for considering other...

    Help choosing pickups for bright 7 string!

    Hey all! I recently posted in my NGD thread that I was having some trouble acclimating to the pickups in my Schecter. I was so excited to try the Schecter USA Superchargers, but I find them quite bright and high output. Tim from Bare Knuckle recommended the Silo based on a couple of videos I...
