    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...

    Just received new PRS Halcomb 7 & I wanted to know if this seems normal..

    Seems like there’s a very small Knick and then some glue or something around where the neck is attached. The glue / sticky substance wipes away. Just never really experienced this with a new guitar. Perhaps it’s just the way the neck was attached. Anything I should be concerned about?

    What do you do when...(new guitar question)

    I just bought a brand new very high end guitar, and I'm noticing on the high E string around and above the 12 fret that there are several frets which don't sustain much, and the sound they produce is mostly overtones and harmonics rather than the sounding note. What do I do? Is this a setup...

I've kept my eye on the...

    Possibly Having 8 String Built

    Recently I had my Ibanez Xiphos set up from a guy down the street from my house and it turns out he also builds his own guitars. I asked him if he could maybe build an 8 string for me and he said he could. So I want some advice on what wood, hardware, etc. I haven't had much experience with to...

    New guitar choicing: agile vs schecter.

    Finally got the money to get a new (err, first) 7. And with my budget and options in mind I've narrowed it down to either a used Schecter Black Jack ATX C-7 FR (in white satin) or an Agile Interceptor pro 727 (in natural satin) I've always been an ESP/LTD loyalist, but I'm not really a fan of...

    Just picked up a brand new Ibanez RGA8 yesterday (sexiest guitar I've ever owned + my first 8 string :hbang:), and it plays like a guitar made in heaven - and it would be - were it not for the atrocious pick-ups. I am planning on buying some SD Blackouts, because they sound great (distorted...
