New project-Iceman copy I've always thought the Iceman was one of the coolest guitars, and this summer I decided to get a kit and go for it. Having several guitars that were black, red, or white I went with a Daytona yellow color from the local NAPA store. Here is the body and neck, it was bare...

I haven't posted anything new in forever, this is done on a Tascam 8 track with a Melody Maker on rhythm and first entry solo and Epi Les Paul for main solo, Roland XP-60 Keyboard, and Ibanez bass. Mostly first takes so its definitely rough, give it a listen and give a comment-help me beat it...

I've been using the 0404 soundcard for years with Win XP and as my laptop is having issues I'm planning on a new laptop soon. The website says that there is a beta Driver available for the USB 0404, I wanted to know if any of you home recording people out there are having luck with this beta...

I found his video on the Music Zoo site, it looks like the chambered Les Paul bodies are getting a bit carried away! The 2nd one looks a lot like swiss cheese....:facepalm: The Music Zoo: Inside A Gibson Electric Guitar - YouTube

Les Paul Special copy This is one of the guitars distributed by the GFS company-it's a XV-440 that is a nice Les Paul Special clone. Originally I had my eye on one of their Les Paul Jr. copies but when I saw the Special it changed my mind. The Junior would have had a single P-90 and the...

I posted an early version of this once, I've finally gotten another try at it. This started as a old school blues song, after laying down the guitar tracks it's more of a blues rock tune now. Lots to work out still, but I thought I'd get it out there for now. There are a few new guitars that...

Once I saw the nice maple top on this guitar I had to get it. It's one of the Xaviere models by Guitar Fetish-the XV-835 with the maple top on a poplar body-it's lighter than most of my other Teles. It was a pawn shop find-and it belonged to an old band member from years back. He bought it to...

I bought an Epiphone Firebird a few years back that came with the full size pups-it has a great feel but the tone was a little muddy to me. I also have a friend with a 70's Gibson Firebird so I knew the tone I would like it to have. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a source for an easy...

Here is another mix of this blues song, adjusted some parts and added a tremolo rhythm guitar. Listen and tell me whats needed and what isn't-;) Thanx in advance....Tony The Link- http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8728546 The Lyrics- Last one to know Woke up to new dawn this morning, but...

Here's my latest demo attempt-it started as just jamming around with my Melody Maker. It has P-90 pickup with a nice nasty snarl-lot's of attitude too! The song is still in the early stages and the beats aren't as tight as they could be, but give it a listen and a comment on what to focus on...

It's been quite a while since I've posted anything new-I wrote this song a few years ago and wanted to record it with some modern technology-I have a 4 track version of it from the early days. What parts does it need in there? I am not sure what to add though..... Anyway, please give it a...

I got this off EBay-arrived this weekend, actually on my birthday.:) It's as basic as can be but it's got all it really needs, a single dog ear P-90, tune-o-matic bridge and stop bar, volume and tone, and basic black. I kind of think of it as a Gibson version of a Fender Esquire-the P-90 is a...

I have a Tele copy with 2 humbuckers that I installed a couple of push/pull pots in to have 2 volumes and coil splits for the pickups. I wanted a tone control but didn't want to drill into the top in case of a slip-there is no pickguard. I found a picture of the Epiphone Les Paul Ultra II-it...

I got this pedal as a freebie when I ordered something else and it's a bit weak on the high end of the tone control. I looked for a while but never found the schemo for this model-and its surface mount for the most part-but we have microscopes at work I can use for S.M. soldering. My BOSS Blues...

Here is a remix of my song 'Siren Song'. I posted it several months back and the vocals were always too wet sounding, so I found a dry vocal track and used a short delay to double it, then added a touch of reverb. Any comments, suggestions, or sarcasm is welcome and I hope to eventually get...

It's the latest from Epiphone, the newest Zakk Wylde model. SG and Flying V morphed into one solid body. http://www.epiphone.com/news.asp?NewsID=1409 It sure is better than that reverse Flying V tho!!!

Here is a song that I wrote in the early 1990's, I've rerecorded all the tracks and added a section. I'll redo the lead guitar track-I just through them on this afternoon, and the bass line might also get redone. Guess you would say it's a song about human nature. It's called Siren Song. All...

Here is my sick cover of the song 'Gloria' by Van Morrison. I used to play it in clubs and was one day fooling around with some dissonant scales and found that they fit the song fairly well, and added a new twist to it as well. It's still in rough shape so any comments or opinions on it are...

Here is a blues cover I did to demo some new gear, a Nady 'Fathead' ribbon mike and new GFS pickups I installed in a Tele kit I built a few years back. The Ribbon mike is only on the vocals and a Beta 58 clone was used to record the guitar part. The new pickups are a GFS Alnico Tele neck...

GFS has cut the price by $20 of the metalflake guitars-the Tele & Strats were already a ridiculous $164 to begin with.:eek: There are Tele and Strat semi-hollowbody style and some Les Paul style as well. They are clearing space for the 2009 models apparently-that price was too much to pass...
