I might be getting one of these this weekend. I was wondering if anyone has any comments on the sound* or durability. Also has anyone ever modified one? was it easy, are there any good websites on how to do it? Does anyone have any decent recordings of one? *I have played it and I think it...

My Gibson SG is my first guitar to have the Tune-o-matic and stopbar bridge system, and I have a question about the setup on these. How much does the height of the tailpiece matter? since it changes the angle that the strings are pulled over the bridge I'm assuming it'll make a pretty big...

Great news everyone, Ibanezrocks now has a Gibson SG Standard. Hi-5's anyone?

Does anyone know why some bolt-on neck guitars have a metal plate on the heel, like a strat, and why some dont, like an rg? Is there any difference in the sound or stability? This is just out of curiousity by the way.

Quick question: My friend just got a used rg with a dimarzio in there, so when we were changing the strings we decided to take the pickup out to see what model it was, and all it says on it is dimarzio made in the usa. How do you figure out what model a dimarzio pickup is, they all look the...

I'm planning on building my own tube amp, I was thinking of a Marshall Plexi... might be a challenge, but oh well I have the next 5 months of working an hour a day, 5 days a week to build something. I have a couple of pages on how to build one like this and that. Has anyone else here took on a...

Ok, I would like to begin computer recording, I will just be micing my guitar amp and maybe occasionally my acoustic guitar. I plan on buying a Shure Sm57 as I hear thats the best affordable mic and should work fine for what I need. Where I have no idea what to do is how to get the mic signal...

I've always noticed my crybaby wah really sucks all the tone out of my sound when its turned off but still plugged in. Lately I've grown quite tired of this, I'm pretty sure that the problem is that it doesn't have true bypass. I don't know exactly what true bypass is, but is there any way I...

Just a quick question here about resonators, what is the difference between a metal-body resonator and a wood one?

I would like to start recording, with a budget of 300 dollars, and all I own is a guitar and an amp. What would be the best way to utilize my budget? Currently I'm looking at getting a multi-track cassette recorder, and a couple of mics, is that the best way to do it? I don't need to record...

Hello, I have been playing guitar for more than 3 years now but still have yet to record anything. I'm not currently interested in spending hundreds of dollars on a recording set up, or even for recording more than one track. All I want to know is if I could buy some sort of tape recorder, and a...

I just got the MXR Doubleshot Distortion for christmas, and what can I say except FREAKING INCREDIBLE! Now I'm looking to get a tube amp and use the doubleshot for when I want to go crazy with a lot of distortion. I was wondering if the amp will make much of a difference on the sound of the...

Hello, I was wondering how to get the guitar sound on the smashing pumpkins' song zero. Does anyone know what kind of amp or effects are used on that song?

This is just out of curiosity, but what was your first guitar? and do you still have it? Personally I still have my cheapo washburn acoustic, plays like hell, high action and everything but sounds really nice and was good for building finger strength I guess.

Sad news everyone, my beloved crate amp (and no one say it doesnt matter its only a crate, because I only have this one amp) appears to be severely broken. Here's what happened, I took it to a friends house, and he was playing around with it, now I have it back, I plugged into it, and nothing...

I have heard some good things about these. I saw two really old ones today (from the early 80s i think), didnt get a chance to play either of them due to lack of time. One was a halfstack and was $1800 (cdn) the other was a white combo of the same thing but for $1300 (cdn). I think the halfstack...

could anyone recommend a tube amp for under 500 dollars(american) that has a good distortion, and a decent clean, as well as built in reverb? also i have never owned and know very little about tube amps, so a little extra explanation goes a long way. thanks

Instead of a million more threads on who is the "best" guitarist I've decided to see who you people think is the most underrated guitarist. I won't post a poll as I would have no idea where to begin to compile a list from, but shout your opinions, start some good arguments, have fun.

I have never used a fuzz pedal before, but a couple weeks ago I saw someone use one in an amateur concert/recital and it sounded amazing. So now I got an itching to buy one. I was wondering are there any good fuzz pedals that also have distortion on them, just with a mini switch or something to...
