I still have my 2 Chinese knockoff/copies and they're killer.

Well... I did have to strip them down to the frets and replace all hardware and electronics... ok, and the nut too BUT, after that they were solid fiddles and held up to 3 heavy years of constant gigging

Even though it was direct reissue with different tolex? :whatever Yep, the original stomped the Slash :slash Signature in every possible way so I'm not sure about it being a 'direct' reissue other than they marketed the Slash that way... they had to have changed something b/c they were most definit...

Late as hell to the table but I'd chime in to say the old, original pre-Slash Jub's are the only thing worth reissuing IF they did exactly that and didn't screw w/any of the features or attempt to modernize it in any way. The last time I had access to one it was beat to hell, original silver tolex w...

The vids I've seen of Lars trying to come up w/drum parts against Jame's riffs are unbelievable, as in I can't believe how painful it is to watch Lars try to compose with a guy he's worked with for HOW long now? Hearing him try to string together sentences is just as bad, aye yaye yaye

This story from Chris Squire on how he met Hendrix is one of my personal faves, dude is hilarious how he lays this out...

It's sad man, Gibson doing the cash grab thing, and now with guitars that are nowhere near the quality they should be at these price points.

From Slash to Zakk it's beyond ridiculous, Gibson has turned me off almost as much as Fender with their umpteen signatures

The race stripe reminds me of John Mayer's gh3y paintjob on his sig Strat, blech.

But on a Marshall???

Dude that sounds pretty effin' good to me, I like that recording also for its overall coolness

Guess we'll try 'em straight with a 500k volume pot for starters and maybe tailor from there, really tired of that Blackmore just sitting in its case.

I wanted to poll the masses here for opinion on a regular Lace Gold bridge pickup, bear with me... I've had this set of Lace Golds for a while, always loved the tone but the 'polite' character didn't really carry over well into higher gain situations when it came to playing harder rock music and the...

Sorry, got tied up as usual and missed some time on here. Thanks a lot for the feedback and sympathy anyways haha *Sikter - You're absolutely right, that's the scene I was hoping for and probably why I got so pissed! *guitarest - Wow man, I couldn't take that! You totally did the right thing on pass...

Hell yeah! hahaha Seriously though, it was a full session of almost 3 hours that generated a mere 3 songs played to completion out of 10... and the tempo walked up & down so much on those 3 that "completion" is generous. That's sad when a group of 40-ish, self-proclaimed, experienced musicians can't...

So you have a counterfeit LP? Ha! Yessir, couldn't help myself about 5-6 years ago and broke down for a couple. I ordered 2 from a website ($500 for both fiddles to my door with cases), they got one right and one wrong :doh The shiping cost to return was ridiculous so I ordered 2 more and got the s...

Well, I may as well share the results of this grand plan, this is great... and y'know, I had the recipe in place for this, had the whole band hand-picked and even had 2 acoustic run-through sessions with the singer plus everybody had 3 weeks to prep for the 1st ten tunes so that we'd have a healthy ...

It's the Custom Maple that I don't get... anybody ever try to play a maple fretboard with MOP inlays onstage? YOU CAN'T SEE WHERE ARE, it's almost like playing a cello, when you've got the guitar strapped-on the neck looks like a clear slab of maple unless you lean back and squint to see the tiny bl...

hahahaha COUGARS!!! I like me some cougars, who couldn't use a sugar mama with this economy?


Haircut?? NEVER!! :deney

Cowboy hat? Ya got me there Surf, as of right now I own 3.
