    Does anyone make the guitar I want?

    Hi guys, I've been scouting for a pretty particular instrument, that is in terms of features I'd like it to possess. I'm interested in a semi-hollow with piezo and tremolo - do you know of any companies making something like that? Or am I slipping into some custom shop/modding shenanigans here?

    Nut help?

    so i just recently acquired a used Jackson JS22-7 and it looks like the nut was cut way too deep. the low E rattles a lot on the open but none on the fretted notes. im going up drastically in string gauge, from what im thinking is a 10-59 set to an 11-73. think that would help remedy the...

    Structuring an EP

    I'm writing the debut EP of my band this summer and I'm not entirely sure how to structure it/how much is too much for an EP. So far I have two full songs and a short instrumental done. I'm getting a bit ambitious and want to write something like this: 1. Intro/Short Song, but feels just...

    Recommended string sets for a 28.6" neck through 8?

    I'm a relative newby to the world of extended range guitars and was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for pre-made sets. I'd rather not have to buy individual strings, but I'm open to it. Also 9s or 10s to tune down a half step? I was gonna go with 10s but i feel like with the long scale...

    Bridge For A Headless, Multiscale Guitar

    SO I want to build a Strandberg Boden 7 copy (with Ola's permission of course) for myself with 26.5-25.5" scale and I've been looking for a suitable bridge but I've only been able to find Ola's bridges, which are hella expensive (~$500 Canadian :ugh: ) I've also looked at the Hipshot headless...

    Help me pick, too... Sort of.

    I suppose in a way this could be considered a "vs." or "help me pick" thread, but really I'd like your opinions on what you would do in my situation and why. So I guess it's almost more like a survey.:lol::ugh: I'm sure a few of you have seen the for sale thread I have for my RGD 7421, but for...

    Anyone want to write the drum part for a heavy prog track? - GP5 content

    Hi, i'm writing some music for my band to try and break the 4/4 fascination with the drummer, but I am only average when it comes to writing drum parts, me not playing drums much. I was wondering if anyone here in this songwriting forum could give it a shot. There are already some drum parts...

    Reaper from PC opening on a Macbook Pro?

    I've been running a PC desktop for a long time and have loads of Reaper sessions that were recorded on it. I'm planning on buying a Macbook Pro really soon, and I was wondering if I'd be able to open my projects fully on it. All I've used in them is the stock plug-ins, Superior, and Pod Farm...

    I completely do not understand good mastering

    How is it done? I've captured sounds that I'm really satisfied with and have every other aspect of recording going exactly the way I want it. I really want my recordings to sound like almost exactly like they do now, except they need to be louder to match industry standards. I've tried to do...
