    Fortin Natas or Solar Chug?

    For tight chugs without the need of an overdrive? With an LP with EMG 81X/60X. Into a Line 6 Flextone III XL with many clean amp models and an FX loop so I could use the pedal as a preamp. I also have a Peavey Invective MH and Revv G20, but I think they sound like garbage compared to the...

    Replacement locking tuners for a Solar 2.7C

    So I got my first 7-string a few months ago, but it is missing locking tuners. I have hipshot grip-lock tuners on my 6-string and I love them so much. Would 21mm hipshot grip-locks on the treble side work as a direct replacement without drilling new holes in the headstock? Or would...
