    I'm unsure about my next gear purchase

    TL;DR at the bottom. A little bit of background. I'm in Mexico, so prices and availability are quite different to what's available in the US/Europe. Things down here are, more often than not, more expensive than in the US (when it comes to gear) and we have way less options to pick from. I...

    Looking to buy my next Extended guitar, need help!

    6 years ago, I bought a Stephen Carpenter LTD 8 string. To me the tone sounded like a string bolted to a piece of driftwood: Muffled, with no clarity.
