I've been playing Les Paul's for many years, and I can basically make it through a whole set without tuning more than once or twice during a 45min gig. There's no secret, just a good setup and experience dealing with the nuances of a Les Paul. Basically, a crowd can't tell if you're slightly off...
Fellow guitar/tone nerds... My search is over, I didn't really know I was searching though...
For years my main OD pedal was a Fulltone OCD, and recently I put a TC Electronic Spark Booster in front of it. The OCD pedal is great, and is probably a standard for some of you. With the Spark in...
So public service announcement for beginners looking for a good practice amp! I went to Guitar Center today and played on a Blackstar ID Core. Had some really usable and fun high gain tones. Really easy to use and good quality! Check it out!
The first one I ordered had a defective truss rod, so that one went back. This one I just got is working fine. I mean, one of the tuners literally fell off as I was installing .10's, I nearly flipped out until I realized it just needed to be tightened with one of the wrenches that came with the...
If you purchase a 2016 model please check the truss rod. I got my 2016 Firebird and the truss rod is loose and does nothing. Just letting everyone know, because going to the authorized Gibson repair guy in Chicago, he said he's been seeing a lot of Gibsons with this issue.
I thought it was...
I've never dealt with locking tuners or anything that's close to what's on this guitar. Can someone please give me a reference point or, some steps on how to remove the strings from the tuners.. Thx!
So I always ALWAYS wanted a Firebird, but wasn't willing to put up the cash. I recently seen the 2016 T, and the price is extremely good compared to what I normally see. I purchased it online, and I'm wondering what everyone thinks of it so far (besides the one post I've seen on it so far)...
So I recently purchased a 68 twin reverb reissue. Great amp, does as advertised! It's what you expect, but I just got another fender amp! An Eric Clapton Twinolux, because why not...
Cool one channel amp. I like the half power, and one speaker option. Has a decent tremolo on it, but I need...
I just purchased a 68 Twin and it arrives on Tuesday.. I've been wanting the 65 Twin, and I even managed to jam on one extensively. However, after watching a few comparison videos online and seeing one on sale I pulled the trigger on a 68... Very excited!!!
I need a really good loud clean...
I've owned at least 5 American standard strats and tele's. I've never been able to get along with a strat for very long despite my love for the tone and look. They're just not me I guess. Telecasters on the other hand have been a love affair ever since I owned my first one.
I've let all of...
I'm thinking about getting a 65 twin reverb for my "indie" band. I currently have a Marshall 1974 reissue, it has great tones but breaks up at moderate volumes.
For those of you that own one please discuss your opinions... I'm also in a hard rock band, but I'm using an Orange OR15 and 2...
So I just received my or15 head. I'm playing through 2 greenbacks, and it sounds EXCELLENT! Mind you it didn't start out that way... Out the box the amp has way too much gain on tap. I mean, by ten o'clock you're already in metal territory.
I swapped v1 and v2 to 12aT7's and got a much...
Don't know if this is the right place to post this question, but I'm looking for someone to do a custom build for me. Pls pm me or post here if you know where I can look. Thx!
