  1. Guitar: Instrument Discussion
    Looking for suggestions on guitars that have a Floyd Rose and a thicker neck. I really prefer my Gibson necks over anything else, but it seems to be quite difficult to find something with a similar neck profile that also has an FR on it, while being under $1k. I've looked at the FRX systems...

    I finally got around to removing the last vestiges of the crappy Jackson electronics in my Soloist Jr., replacing the neck pickup with a Duncan Hot Rails neck model that I happened to have laying around in my parts bin. I'd bought it brand new years ago for a project I can't even remember, so it...

    Around min 27 +/- 7 string on the video but Ola said Solar is announcing them today (maybe more models?)
  4. Guitar: Tech, Electronics and DIY
    We all like to learn from our mistakes, but it's more convenient to learn from others' so here you go :lol: I plugged and redrilled the holes on the neck for my current Falchion project, did a test fit with the screws and then came the hitch... The last one didn't budge at all because I didn't...
  5. Guitar: Instrument Discussion
    A buddy brought over a Strat body and asked if I could make a neck for it. Looked like a good opportunity to use a blank that I had just cut from a billet of roasted maple and purpleheart. The paint had been laid on pretty thick and had run in a few places so I asked him if he wanted me to try...
  6. Guitar: Instrument Discussion
    So, I have acquired this fine instrument online, which is a lot of guitar for its price, in my humble opinion. Guess I got lucky, because fretwork is flawless and it sounds huge. It plays fantastic! Anyway, on to the neck profile: I remember trying several Indo Pro Soloist during the past few...
  7. Guitar: Instrument Discussion
    I guess I am entering my "old man" phase because I never thought I would own a tele, much less a Fender tele. I was sorta wanting to pickup a guitar that wasnt metal, but had humbuckers because I have a series were I go through all the amps in the Axe FX, and using high output pickups for some...

    The recessed Floyd Charvel Model 5/6 obviously has a neck angle. HOW ABOUT THE KAHLER ONES?????????????? Just wondering. If I find one for a good deal I might get one and Evertune the shit out of it , how knows
  10. Guitar: Instrument Discussion
    HI! Please re-direct me if not in the right forum. Sorry,am a newbie trying to get back into the guitar scene after many years off and looking for hands on help. Long story short,I use to own a 1997 Jackson sl2 that I played thrash/speed metal/soloing within garage bands and small gigs.Since...
  11. Guitar: Pickups Discussion
    So, the pickup merry-go-round in my Charvel clearly isn't over. I've settled on the bridge pickup at least (Aldrich). I'm absolutely in love with that again, maybe moreso than the first time I tried it! But the neck pickup... I've had a Duncan Hot Rails in there for a while but it's a bit...

    Backstory: My 89 Kramer focus 6000's frets are REALLY worn. The neck is ok but it needs a re-fret if im going to play it any longer. However, a re-fret is probably like $300 or so? The guitar is a bit beat up and do not want to invest a ton of cash in it but I would at least like it...
  13. Guitar: Instrument Discussion
    I've often contemplated having a double-neck axe, and watching Sons of Apollo both live plays + a most interesting vid where Thal explains about his Vigier, I felt wet in some places. Now, I'd like either a double-7 or an 8-string fretted + 6- or 7 fretless, but which neck order? For doing...

    "You can use different sized or shaped frets for different parts of the neck." Guitar Player, a "reputable publication", ran this article. https://www.guitarplayer.com/gear/tech-bench-gary-brawers-refret-checklist Terrible reckless advice? Life hack of the century? Strangely unsubstantiated...
  15. Guitar: Gear Discussion
    I'm considering a parts build - a strat, to be precise. Most of the parts/electronics are fairly straight forward. However finishes stump me. Here's my question: if I order a Warmoth body with a urethane finish, will it mate with a nitro neck without any reactions or problems? Thanks guys.
  16. Guitar: Instrument Discussion
    Seen this on the local offer up for a few weeks now dude wants $200 USD for the body and neck. Not the biggest fan of the color. Thinking about making an offer for a project guitar. Can anybody tell me if this looks like a legit ESP?

    Wanna try going full-blown single coil (as opposed to stacked humbucker) as I really love the contrast, and more or less always split my neck pickup whenever I'm on it anyway :shrug: JB/Aldrich/Distortion (whichever I'm in the mood for at the time, I seem to be cycling these at the moment :lol...

    Anything considered, preferably a funky colour or white. No cream. I hate cream. Show me what you've got!

    Just saw this on SS.org and wanted to share it mainly to read the reactions on the conclusions :cool: Sustain and Electric Guitar Neck Joint Type :smoking:
  20. Guitar: Pickups Discussion
    Since switching to L500XL's, I figured I may as well experiment with neck pickups while I'm enjoying the honeymoon period... I've flipped the Bill Lawrence pickup a la Dimebag so it's got slightly less of that boingy single-coil treble going on. He used a bridge 59 in the neck (also flipped, to...
