    New Guitar Incoming: E-II vs Custom Shop M-II

    To celebrate moving into my third house, I decided to treat myself. I pulled the trigger on what I currently consider to be my holy grail of metal guitars, and something far beyond what I thought would be achievable for me in my lifetime. Pics are the seller's. I plan on taking more when...

    NGD: The most ss.org guitar I own edition

    I finally did it - I bought a Used Prestige(tm). I'm on a work trip and took a detour while I was out of town anyway to grab this RGD3127, one I was mentioning in the vs. thread. It was either this or a 2127z, and the rad orange colour won out. You can google the specs, I'm too lazy to list...

    NGD - Ormsby TX Carbon 7

    NGD! Ormsby TX Carbon 7 string in Ermine White. - 29 frets on the high strings - Locking tuners - The most comfortable fixed bridge I've played and looks great in the matt black. - Fanned frets 25.5 to 27.8" for some serious heaviness. First impressions? Sick. For a production model, it is...

    NGD: There are many like it, but this one is mine.

    As the others look on in interest. Not really a surprise given my purchase history! 2013 Mystic Dream JP6 in need of some TLC. Ripped out an abomination of a "trem stopper", cleaned the fretboard, and gave it a proper setup. WTF is this. Dryer than a nun. But after everything, it is now...

    NGD: The Crazy Year Continues (Silverburst Content)

    My year of crazy G.A.S. continues.. Not that long ago I saw this pop up at one of my usual internet shops and had to jump on it as it ticked way too many of the boxes I was after: -Norlin Era -Silverburst -Re-fretted by someone else (I didn't want to be the one to take that hit) -Pickups...

    NGD Kiiras Custom - Guardian of Thundera

    After 2 years of wait my custom Kiiras arrived in one piece thankfully. Being an Horizon geek, I wanted to make an homage to Andre Olbrich's, now retired characteristic red Horizon, but Simo's rendition of the Horizon. Specs are: 25.5'' scale, 24 stainless steel frets, flamed maple top, alder...

    NGD Modified Jim Root Strat

    Recently I posted asking for mod advice on a Jim Root Strat I had on order and things have escalated quite significantly since then. Turns out my idea of an almost perfect guitar is a Jim Root Strat with a Vintage-Spec'd neck It arrived and I was into the EMG's, but at heart I've always been a...

    NGD: Schecter Diamond Series AM-7

    Finally pulled the trigger on one of these. I bought it brand new from sweetwater with a plek setup. Overall i'm pretty pleased with this guitar. It's been a while since i've tried anything other than USA schecters and so far i dig it. Pickups sound good (especially split) and they handle...

    NGD - '00 Ibanez JEM7VWH - a boy dreamt

    Finally, I have looking for one for years now but could never really justify the cost. As an 11-year-old who had just started secondary school and was 6 months into playing guitar, I first saw a JEM (the JEM20TH) at the bottom of the Thomann ad in the November 2007 issue of Total Guitar Magazine...

    NGD: Killer Seven the Empress

    Thought I would drop in and actually post something after years of lurking. My wife was getting me a guitar for Christmas this year, so we searched around and after a lot of reverb scrolling I happened upon this beauty. The Killer Seven the Empress is the signature guitar for Saki from...

    [NGD] A Very Merry "X"Mas Jackson!

    When I was 19, I fell in love with Death. Err, the band, not the concept. ANYWAY, I LOVED Chuck's Stealth. My life up until that point had been filled with S-types and superstrats of all sorts, an Epi Les Paul, and one cheap RR Jackson V that unfortunately wasn't very good. I still love Strats...

    NGD - Not Fancy But Beautiful Harley Benton Multiscale 7 and 8

    Yeah, I know, not fancy custom shop/vintage/rare guitars, but I like it a lot :) Little bit of background - I like buying cheap guitars and modify them. I own/owned a bunch of Harley Benton, Donner, SubZero, Squire etc. After you put some work into them, you get a decent instrument, and I found...

    NGD: In Praise of the Ibanez RG1570 Prestige

    So I think I have purchased 6 guitars in the past ~2 years that I still and I have not posted an NGD for any of them that I can recall. I got this one online a couple of weeks ago. Here is why I like this guitar - it is SIMPLE. I like the finish that looks black initially and then sparkles blue...
