Pair the guitar with a darker sounding amp, like a Fender Bassman or Marshall JTM.

How much for that dude’s plaid polyester sport coat?

I've got a great system for making a Fender Strat with a synchronized tremolo stay in tune.

Block it off. Problem solved.

I agree that the neck on a guitar makes or breaks the experience. Other stuff can be changed . . . the action, pickups, electronics . . . but the neck is pretty much baked in and it's got to be good. If that thing plays and sounds as good as it looks you've got a winner. On an unrelated note, lately...

I think it would be one heck of a publicity stunt if they constructed a one mile mock up of the Great Wall of China using Marshall stacks, had Nigel Tufnel walk out in front of it, turn everything up to 11, and windmill some chords.

LOL, He was definitely on my list, I particularly liked his last avatar...

Please tell me that somebody remembered to save that image when we made the exodus from the old forum.

I'm waiting for the return of Pink Jimi.

I am so sorry you're going through this. I've been checked out awhile. As someone who has only minor childhood ptsd from bullying I can't imagine what you are really going through even though you document it so well. I hope you writing this heed you process it and not retraumatize you. I ever could...

I have four SX guitars and love them all.

I love you Pesky. I mean that, sincerely.

I have finally found a legit and genuine voodoo man, the person of Dr Noble who helped me kill my neighbor with his powerful death spell voodoo. My neighbor was a big problem to me and my household, she causes us troubles almost everyday and I had to get rid of her for peace to be restored in my ho...

It is undeniable that John Sykes was one of the greatest, most virtuosic, influential guitarist of the 80s. His aggressive blues/rock/metal riffs, wide vibrato, impassioned 32nd note runs, and Mesa Mark III tone are carved in stone, just as lasting as the monuments preserved in the Valley of the Kin...

Picked up this Neat Worker Bee for $30 the other day. It’s a very nice sounding medium sized capsule condenser mic. Love the style too.

...I can't believe that was ten years ago. Ten years gone . . . somebody should write a song about that. ;) Or name a band, maybe Ten Years Before or something like that... :D Seriously, I've been thinking the same thing, how the past decade really blew by. I It was either March or April of 2014 wa...

@toomanycats & @tonebender : do you know the fingerboard radius of your HB acoustic and is not, is it extremely flat? Also, I figured out by videos that they have truss rods. Do you know if they are double-action or any good? I ask because people have bought me budget acoustics, for me to tell ...

I own a Harley Benton CLD-41s. The other guys seem to have already answered your questions about shipping, returns, and so on. Keep in mind that I purchased this guitar, along with about 8 or 9 others from the brand, during the great Harley Benton craze on the original AGF forum. I haven't ordered a...

Do you have a spell that will make anyone who uses backing tracks and autotune live have their nuts shrivel up and fall off?

I've never owned a Wolfgang Special, though in recent months I've seen two in pawnshops and gave both of them a good going over. I would have bought one of them, but I need another HH guitar with a Floyd like I need another cat. But seriously, the carve of the neck felt really nice, The fretwork was...

I don't know what an FM3 is, though that doesn't matter.
There is naked honesty on this track, which is what matters most.

Jeeeez . . . for a second there you gave me fright!

I thought that Ringo must have got burnt up in his mansion.

But seriously, Peter, Paul & Mary are fantastic and the fires are absolutely horrible.

It sounds much better if you put it to music.

I have an offer for $130.
Should I sell it.

$130 seems to me like a very low ball offer given your asking price of $225.

I'd throw $180 back at them with the expectation that you'll probably both settle for around $160 after their inevitable counter offer.

Today I felt a twinge of gas when I encountered a used Epiphone Les Paul Classic with some nice upgrades.

A brilliant musical composition expertly executed. Yes, I am, or at least I was, a Cacophony fan. I haven't listened to those two albums in years. I remember seeing Shrapnel Records ads for the band's album alongside their label mates like Racer X and Tony MacAlpine. It's not that I don't like or ap...
