Once upon a time I had a Schecter Gryphon. I was shocked at the quality of workmanship on that $399 guitar. It was setup perfectly at the factory too. Only problem was the tone. There's a reason Gibson, ESP, et al put maple tops on a mahogany guitar. Without a maple top to brighten the tone you...

it's the circular grill.

I got this last year. Excellent cab and speaker. I am selling everything to raise some cash or I wouldn't even think of parting with it. 8 ohm. Transparent mahogany front. Front ported. Closed back. Black grill (not pictured). Black leather with handle on top. Excellent condition. Looks...

I blew an internal fuse the other day on my tube amp. Is this something that needs to be addressed by a tech? Or can the average joe do it?

Removed.

Can't the neck be stripped and then resprayed with polyurethane? It's mahogany.

I appreciate that. I actually got some Gibson polish with my 2007 guitar. But I was looking for a more permanent solution. I would ship the guitar to Jackson if necessary, but I was wondering if anybody knows if the average luthier can replicate it.

As anybody who's played one knows, the necks on Jackson guitars are second to none. Smooth, fast, just perfect. The Les Pauls on the other hand are tacky (as in sticky, especially when under hot lights). Does anybody know what Jackson does to make their necks so fast? Is it a special finish...

Congratulations to VWallGuitars.com. They came VERY close to making the list coming in at #501. Better luck next year.

My latest acquisition as of yesterday:

No longer available in North America. Can anybody suggest a good strategy for obtaining one at a good price? I know they run 1700 euro overseas. Ouch. With shipping that's about $2300 USD. Probably a lot less in Asia though. Been hunting on ebay but so far no luck. I know the Eclipse II is...

i'd go for the mesa mark IV. as far as amps go, carvin makes great guitars. before you commit your funds though, check this out: http://www.masottiamp.it/audio.html

That's a rather personal question, don't you think? I mean, something like that is a matter between myself and my doctor. A slow-moving farm animal perhaps. But certainly no business of yours my friend. Oh! My GUITAR CABLE. 12 feet.

They tell me mine should have an ebony fretboard but it sure looks like rosewood to me. The upper frets are scalloped and being a pre 2003 model it has the Lo-Pro bridge that many players prefer. Perfect mint condition. I bought it a little over a month ago from a guy who bought it new the week...

I'm on the same page with the OP. On my Schecter Gryphon I went with a Duncan Jazz neck (n) and a JB (b). On my Ibanez RG550 I went with DiMarzio Air Norton (n) and the Breed (b). Depends on just how hot you want to get. Evo, Dimebucker, whatever. Me? I liked the Breed. Fat and mean. Just...

I agree. I was not impressed with any of the Bareknuckle sound bytes I listened to on their forum. But swineshead is another matter. By all means check them out. Excellent website with great samples. And they're reasonably priced too.

I have a Schecter Gryphon. Outstanding tone and playability. Now, if I can just find the perfect pups for it ...

Yes but not all boutique pups are expensive. Swineheads for example. Bill Lawrence. etc.

Jared Leto is a beautiful man. I would like to bone him. And I am not homosexual. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Stop laughing. I am not a homosexual. I just have an overwhelming desire to run my tongue all over his nether regions. To play sphincter tag with him 'till dawn. To share...

Bareknuckle or Swineshead or some other make? Is it strictly for the endorsement deals? This doesn't make sense to me. I would think that their tones were extremely important to them. They are musicians after all, not politicians. I myself prefer Swineshead. I find them superior to DiMarzio...
