Slowhand84's Guitar Extravaganza!

Seeing another member's post of his collection on another forum a little while ago reminded me that I've been wanting to do something similar, since I had never actually photographed my whole stable with any kind of consistency that would be properly presentable. Long story short, I highly recommend...

Re: 'Haley' Bentons ?

https://www.lazada.co.th/products/haley-benton-i4546789598-s18500498549.html? It seems Thailand has begun to offer Harley Bentons...or maybe knockoff Haley Bentons....the shop is a well known shop..so maybe legit. The Zebra version looks kind hot...and only about $140 bucks...this may be too much t...

Re: Weekend NGD #1 - Kiesel Zeus!

OMG so jealous!!! Love that Zeus! Thanks man! I loved this one from the day he got it so I knew if it ever came up for sale I'd buy it. He hooked me up with it for $1200 which is a pretty insane deal, it specs out to almost $2,800 (and that's not including the nearly $300 pickups) so I knew I had t...

Re: Weekend NGD #2 - Kiesel Type-X!

Goodness!!! While I love the zeus, something about the color combo of that X!!! Thanks! Someone in a different thread described it as a nebula throwing up, which I think is pretty accurate :lol: . I like the Type X a lot but I will readily admit the Zeus is my favorite of my 3 headless Kiesels. Tho...

There really isn't such a thing as a fake Agile, no one bothers to fake these.

Thanks! There's no finish on this one at all actually (no color, anyway)...just Kiesel's raw tone finish which is like a super thin satin. This is all 100% just the natural wood!

That is a beautiful guitar! I really wanted a multi-scale Zeus and/or Vader, but couldn't afford one at this time. Someday, I will own one. Thank you! They are really making some of the best modern guitars out there right now. I actually find the Zeus a bit more comfy than my Vader due to the bevel...

Weekend NGD #2 - Kiesel Type-X!

Here we go with the second of two headless Kiesel NGDs this weekend (courtesy of a close friend who has ten of them and gave me an unbelievable deal on these two so he can order a few more). This is arguably their most mean-looking headless model - the Type-X. Despite the sorta "extreme" b...

One of two exciting NGDs this weekend…as many here know I am unhealthily obsessed with my Kiesel Vader and it’s been my #1 in the stable since the day it arrived. I custom ordered that one myself and it’s absolutely perfect for my needs. I then of course got hungry for more, as one does…but I kinda ...

So, if it's too god to be true, it usually is. Red flags are going up, but I thought I would run it up the flag pole here. Has anyone tried to buy a guitar from FOLAME?

She's a looker. Thanks man!

Those Sinner pickups are ...

Re: Input needed on bridge humbucker options

@slowhand84 @Partscaster Tried the EQ route. The changes in frequencies inspired a wide range of tones but the muffled sound was ever-present. It just. couldn't. get there. By the time I'd get close to a usable sound (to my ear) the treble was on 10, the bass on zero and the eq was so jacked that I...
