The Kahler tremolo has always fascinated me for two major reasons. One- I like the idea of a smoother trem feel over the Floyd's rather stiff action; and two- the fact that the Kahler is retro-fittable to almost any guitar I might want to buy means I (potentially) won't have to shop around...
Hey guys
Im using a tuning that needs a high GH (2 tones higher than the high standard E) and I live in a smallish town in Australia. Im having problems finding any 006 or 007 guage strings (Im using said tuning on a baritone and the lightest string I can find in a shop is 008, which snapped...
Hey, fellow GAS-masters, look what Smitty just picked up!
I was skimming around on the bay, putting my Lakewood up for sale, and this little dragon caught my eye. I wasn't really in the market for another 8 string....nor am I a huge fan of Carvin, (nothing against them quality-wise, just not...
The day has finally arrived. My brand new Ibanez RG2228ABK is in my possession, and I couldn't be more than happy. It's been over a year's culmination of research, reviews, and dedicated practice, to lead me to this decision. I view this guitar as the vessel connecting my past 10 years of...
I am covering icarus lives for my year 12 HSC and i want to know what string gauge i should get for this tuning. I don't know alot about string gauges and i am very protective of my guitar so i just don't want to damage anything. Thanks in advance SSO :yesway:
Hi there! I began building an 8 string guitar a year ago since I can't afford a good quaility one, and since it seems that this forum is full of people who know well about this subject, I decieded to post some pictures of its current state to get some advice in what's left of the process...
I would call myself a pretty experienced bassist. I have been playing for six or seven years, but I have never broken a bass string before (until now). It wan't a huge snap, but the string lost tension and started unwinding or something. Its the low B string (130?) and at the time it was tuned...
I own an 8 string guitar which I tune E B E A D G B E, and sometimes
E B E B E F# B E,
If I had a 6 string bass, with thick enough strings, would I be able to maintain the octave ratio of tuning it to E B E A D G, an octave lower than the 8 string guitar is tuned?
Basically I'm just...
I recently purchased an Agile Interceptor 725. It's amazing and feels/sounds great. I had a tune up on it, including an intonation, etc. I was having an issue prior to where dipping the floyd rose would dampen the lower strings significantly more than say the G string. In my long experience with...
Hi all i am a floyd user of 7 years so i understand thoroughly the physics involved with trems.
I have however recently blocked my trem fully. Trem stopper, strings clamped down, wood behind the block measured to fit.
I have noticed still, that if i pluck my high E for instance, then bend...
Hi all i always used 9-46+62 strings on my Jackson 26.5" scale 7 string guitar. (Standard tuning)
I just started using 10-46+64 strings instead. Is the 64 too big? Im using it in standard tuning, but everywhere i look people seem to use 59 and 60 gauge etc for their low B.
Am i just...
I'm buying a 7 string in a month or two.
It's an older Ibanez Japanese RG model, with SD Blackouts in the neck/bridge and one volume.
This is going to sound like a dumb question, but what should I expect? :lol:
Hi folks. I'd like to get at least a new bridge pickup for my main 7 string and I'd love a Bare Knuckle. I'm really interested in the Aftermath but feel free to put up offers. If I can't find an Aftermath then I'll probably just go with something else because I can't afford $300 worth of...

I need some advice here... I´m currently choosing between three guitars and I really don´t know which one to go with.
For the moment I´ve got a Schecter Damien Elite 6 which I´m very pleased with, but interested in buying a 7-string.
Those are the guitars I´m choosing between:
1. Schecter...
So I just put a nice, fat 80 on my Ibanez for some G# tuning and noticed, that when I play the string open, it has some sort of rattle to it. I can't even make out the location, but it's not your common fret buzzing.
Any help? When I play it fretted, the sound is gone. Thanks in advance
I'm not sure if anyone posted this, if so i'm sorry to be the reposter, but seeing this i had to show my findings:

Hello,
This is my first post. I am about to buy my first 7-string guitar, an Ibanez RG2627ZE Prestige. I have been saving for a while now and I have see no reason not to get a 7-string vs a new 6-string prestige.
Do any fellow owners of the RG2627ZE have any information / advice about...
