    Hey all, I've got another problem with my Kahler :ugh: There seems to be a buzz coming from the bridge when I play the low E string. It hasn't happened with any other strings and the bridge vibrates quite a bit. Any clues on what's causing this or how to solve it?

    It was on sale cheap, and I felt insane, so I bought this: For those who don't know what it is, it's an Erhu, a Chinese bowed instrument. It's distinct for a number of reasons: it's got 2 strings, the bow hair is in between the 2 strings, a qianjin, which is a string that ties the 2 strings...

    So I decided to give my newest guitar a spa day with a new larger set of strings. The guitar is an Ibanez RGD 2127fx, you may have seen my recent NGD post. What came on there were 9-54 gauge. I found the lower register of strings to be a little more floppy than i liked so i upped the gauge to...

    Well, to say I've been nipping at the bud for this one is an understatement. I almost pulled the trigger on a Carvin a few months back until a buddy showed me this. Not that a Carvin wouldn't be awesome, but customs are a sticky issue sometimes. Anyway, on to the picstory: I got out of work for...

    How to adjust the average locking trem: - Take off lock nuts - Take off pads - Slack strings - Locate small screwdriver - Remove truss rod cover - Figure out which pipe wrench I need - Choose the wrong one - Try another one - Sweet, that's it! - Realize that I didn't slack the strings enough...

    Been getting more and more back into playing and I'm kind of shopping for a back-up to the Buckethead Les Paul. So far I'm leaning towards the ESP/LTD 401B(pic below). I don't LOVE it but it doesn't look bad and the prices on them are about right. $600-700. Are there any other 27" scale guitars...

    Hi guys I'm not that big fan of JP or Dream theater, but I badly love the graphics of the Ibanez JPM. There is 7string version of JPM (called P7) specially made for only JP not produced publically. I was to DIY the P7, but it's really hard job and costs much then I thought. So I'm gonna buy...

    I am very intrested in purchasing the ESP C-401B. I would like to tune my strings to ADGCFA. I have a problem with the strings this guitar brings, it comes with (0.10-0.46) and I enjoy playing with thick guitar strings to have my low A string sound thick. Recently read good reviews but, I have...

    Hi I recently bought a guitar with a little strange scale, 25.1. Ibanez SZ520 model. So can you recommend me string gauge for standard C tunning ?

  11. Guitar: Gear Discussion
    And couldn't be happier. I was always a 9's guy for years (in standard to half a step down, that is), then late last year I switched to 10's (can't remember the reason, just curiosity maybe) and it felt/sounded great so I stuck with it. Then out of curiosity again, I restrung my Charvel with a...

    I kept meaning to canvas ideas on this and forgetting, then Paul's post in another thread brought it to mind. What are people using to block the trem when changing strings? I use a AA battery swaddled in the required amount of parcel tape to sit underneath the trem. I dive the trem, throw the...

  15. Guitar: Instrument Discussion
    I'm tuning a 6 to Bb for some cannibal corpse style death metal. Ideally I'm just going to use a 11 to 49 set and exchange the 11 for a 65. Any idea if there is a uk website I can get a stack of 65s?

    OK guys I have two Ibanez's that i am going to sell but not sure how much to ask for these and just wondering if you can all point me in the right direction. I have searched ebay but these two have not shown up recently. Ibanez MIJ S7420FM Blue (dot markers) 7 String comes with hard case Ibanez...

    I have a Epiphone Les Paul with 12-56's on it. I just started taking beginner lessons at jamplay.com and the 12-56's are kinda stiff at the frets. Is there a better string for standard e tune that's easier on the fingers? Thank you for any suggestions

    I putted Ernie ball 9 - 46 to my Jackson rx10d randy rhoads with floyd rose on B standard tuning. The strings have really low tension. Advantages: -The fingers need really low strength to press the fret, this gives more speed -Can easily do bendings -Even 7 semitone bendings are easy :scream...

    I'm new (clueless) to guitars. I bought an epiphone that I want to tune to drop c and am wondering about strings. I think it was Andy James over at licklibrary.com recommended 10 guage strings? Am I right on this? Also good brands for this, brands or types to stay away from? I want to learn...
  20. Music: Recording Studio
    This is my band's new single. I recorded/mixed it with the band. It was mastered by Brad at Audiosiege. Brad is really detailed, patient and extremely competitive when it comes to price. He's worked with a lot of my favourite bands (Nails/Converge/Beastmilk/The Armed) so we wanted to try him...
