    String gauges: Heavy and fast!

    Recently, after a few solid months on contemplation, I've decided to tune from the absurdly low Drop G# using .74, .32, .30, .28, .17 etc, that range(inb4 get a bass noob) to something that requires a set of strings thats a bit slimmer, due to the "technicality" or such of the music. So, my...

    Alternative to string ferrules?

    Hi guys, I was wondering: do any of you know of any alternatives to those string ferrules one would install in the back of a string-through body guitar? Any that do not require metal (can you use wood?)? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
