    Friedman guitars

    If it has small fret marker dots on the neck it was made by Grover Jackson, and the bigger fret dots are the newer ones made by Rock and Roll relics. I kinda prefer the smaller dots personally.

    NGD Picked up a Les Paul

    Yea I know. I had a 2000 I think it was Studio and I took the guard off. I wish I would have held onto that one, had a friend that owned the store where I bought it, he passed away a few years ago.

    Ive had an itch for a bit to grab one, came across this for a nice price so i pulled the trigger. It's been sitting here for a couple of weeks to see if i would dig it enough to keep it, put some 11's on it and decided yea its a keeper.

    Who made you start playing guitar?

    Ive always been fascinated with music, ever since I can remember. My earliest memories of guitar were my brother having an acoustic laying around not that I remember him playing it, but I was pulled towards it and used to just bang around on it. And when we would go out for pizza there was the...

    D-Tuna....yay or nah?

    And that is where the problem occurs and to me was the issue with the tone vise, when you put the fine tuner in play your adding something else that can move and change the tuning then you end up chasing your tail. But everyone works stuff different and if that works for you then that’s cool.
  20. Rich5150

    D-Tuna....yay or nah?

    The fine tuner should just be touching the screw, all of the tuning should be done at the tuner and the fine tuner shouldn't be touched.when in e its tuned with the screw on the side of the d-tuna

    Could be humidity, the locking nut, knife edges, strings not stretched out enough. There are a lot of variables that it could be, my neck’s will move some if I’m not on top of the humidity levels in the music room and then I have to unlock and retune slightly. But most of the time I have zero...

    D-Tuna....yay or nah?

    I have D-Tuna’s on 3 of my guitars and once string changes happen they will be going on 2 more. When they are set up right they do what they do very well. I like them, but yes it needs to be on a dive only Floyd. I did try that other one that Tone Vise makes and didn’t like it, to me it felt...

    CME tour of Bonamassa's gear

    He has got a couple of Nerdville's one in Nashville one in NY and that one is believe in LA which is the original What's funny when I originally watched this when they 1st put it up and they showed Billy Gibbons card nothing was blurred out. I can imagine he got some emails and phone calls

    CME tour of Bonamassa's gear

    I watched this the other day, Stunning collection, I know he polarizes some with how massive it is. What I like about him is yes he has some pieces that will never see a stage again, but he tours with a lot of his stuff as well. its better than all of it sitting behind glass never to be touched...

    Its in the JB family to me but with less of the high mid of a JB I like both and use both. As far as the Super D and Aldrich they really don't compare to each other to me at least. this was an interview with Steve back in the day on the development of the Rebel Yell MH: Speaking of big...

    Pickup Advice Bare Knuckle/Dimarzio

    I have one Dimarzio SD in my Adrian Smith Jackson, good pickup but not my main choice. The Rebel Yell if I'm not mistaken was based off of the JB. I tend to go for Duncans in the majority of my guitars, though i have a couple with Aldrich's. I had a few Bare Knuckles and they are great pickups...

    How much "wet" signal do you prefer to run?

    I run my delays in parallel tied to an expression pedal off the input gain. At its lowest its at maybe 3% just letting a little delay through and barely noticeable just a bit of air, at full toe down its at 25%. I like running my delay with an expression pedal so I can dial in just how much...

    They are multiplying, got my 2nd Laney LFR 112 today. Different year cabs, so the led's aren't the same color temp and the logos are different but eh who really cares. They sound phenomenal though, honeymoon phase but they sound truer to what I dial in on my presets

    Saw Living Colour and Extreme last night at Jannus Live in St Pete, FL.

    VR is def an acquired taste,He's very avant-garde. I personally always enjoyed LC seen them live a few times, and yes I shake my head when he goes frantic but I see it as part of him. One of my favorite songs is Nothingness, which is funny because it mainly VR playing synth on his guitar.

    Upgrading KH-2 2009 signature (no LTD) pickups

    2009 I would say probably 81/60 if not 2 81's. but yea not that much of a difference between them and the het set. they should be quick connect though so if he wanted to change them its easy enough. If he went for the KH Bone Breakers I believe those are based off the 81 and 60A
