    What happened to CLAAS GUITARS?

    I think a few years ago they started offering production-line instruments along with custom-shop ones. They were selling them through Thomann for around £1200-£1300. I remember seeing an instagram story by Alexander Claas maybe a year ago, where he said that the pandemic hit them hard. He had...

    For Those Who are Younger, How Relevant is Metallica?

    I'm in my 40s and grew up musically listening to thrash metal in my teens, but Metallica stopped being relevant to me right after the Black Album. That said, Master of Puppets and, especially, and Justice for All were some of the most influential albums to my musical development.

    need advice on headless 8 string

    GOC seems to be doing new runs every few weeks. There seems to be a new one coming up soon (you can check their instagram). I think the last few runs took a while to sell out but they had a sale a few weeks ago and sold pretty much all they had in stock.

    New Schecter Models Megathread

    It's insane. I was looking into buying a KM-7 from Thomann last year. Price was around £1500/£1600 and it's now £2099.

    Sounds good to me, but I look forward to hearing some unbiased opinions from people who actually purchased it.

    Post Your GAS

    Damn, so much GAS for this, after I found out I can get a 20% discount. I know it's not going to be anywhere near my H/06 and H/07 in terms of quality and I know all the reasons why it's a bit of a gamble, but with the discount it's going to cost me less than 50% of an H/07 with similar specs...

    Aristides Guitars

    Yep. I just make sure to turn it in the opposite direction at least as many times as I originally screwed it in.

    Aristides Guitars

    The trem bar screws in. If you just push it in, it will be wobbly. Push it in, turn it a few times until you feel it's secure. I've never touched the bolt when I used the trem.

    Post Your GAS

    A little over a year ago, I started playing again after a 20 year break (I used to play prog metal in the 90s). I had my parents send me my old Ibby. After that, I bought two headless Aristides (a 7 and a 6 string). I don't regret it one bit. If you can afford it, treat yourself!

    Dream Theater

    New song is OK, but as someone who started listening to DT in the early '90s, I feel like I have already heard it in a similar shape or form multiple times in the past.

    RIP Sean Malone

    Holy shit..the bad news keep piling up this year. One or two days ago I saw a picture of him by chance but had not thought much of it. And just today I was looking at the Gordian Knot CDs on the booshelf in front of me and thinking I have not listened to those in a long time. 20 or so years ago...

    Abasi Concepts/Larada Megathread

    Not sure if already posted. This one has some minor issues with fretwork and finish near the nut.

    Thoughts on GOC Guitars?

    I was actually considering buying one of the newer models. I didn't because I wanted a 6 and I don't like they way their 6 strings look. After reading some stories and yours, I'm really glad I didn't. No way I'm gonna buy one now. I honestly would rather spend twice as much on an indo Strandberg...

    Abasi Concepts/Larada Megathread

    I think the pricing is good, and if all I was really paying was £1450, I might even consider it relatively cheap compared to other brands offerings (taking into account I've not tried a Legion). But with $160 shipping, plus 20% VAT, plus customs (around 2.5% I think), the actual price is in the...

    Aristides Guitars

    I'm waiting for an H07R, and I am already thinking to get an H06R with tremolo. These pics are not making it any easier to resist...

    Abasi Concepts/Larada Megathread

    Yep, definitely not a big deal. But for guitars in that price range I'd expect the finish quality to be a little better. It's also entirely possible that the guitars that people receive have perfect finish.

    Abasi Concepts/Larada Megathread

    You mean the Aquaburst 7? That one actually looks fine. The white dots might be just a reflection. Most of the other models (7 and 8), apart from the charcoal, appear to have some paint bleed on the headstock.
