    PhilX on Fakebook

    I agree. He's an accomplished player. I'm sure he's experienced many setups and understands the various setups /gear in various situations. All in all he has always comes across as a happy go lucky player who doesn't take things so serious. Odd that he posted this.

    Show your partscaster!

    My nod to Jimmy's Dragon tele. Warmoth neck and body. I did 100% Tung Oil on the body and fine layer of Tru-Oil on the neck. My first attempt at relic'n hardware and got carried a way on a few spots but it looks cool to me. A buddy did the phenomenal art work. Sounds and plays great.

    PAF Style Pickups and Optimal AXE Settings

    Another suggestion is try leaving the Bright Switch on and roll back the tone on your guitar. If your guitar has quality pots, sometimes a very small amount can work wonders w/o sounding muddy or dull. Or try rolling back the guitar's volume just a touch, see how that sounds. Or a combo of...

    Hey guys-n-gals, I'm in the market for a pair of earbuds. I've been reading reviews and watching videos. Ultimately I'd love to be able to try before I buy but my area is limited. Not to mention the current state of things in the US. So I turn to the only forum I frequent for opinions. In...

    Switch HOLD visual when activated

    Not every Hold Function scenario is a candidate for the ring to be lit bright. As the matter of fact I can think of many scenarios where there would be no need.

    Switch HOLD visual when activated

    I think some visual clue that a switch is in it's hold state is an excellent idea. What about this? Toggle - user defined color = ex: Red Hold - user defined color = ex: White Toggle On = Red Toggle Off = Ring off. Hold On = Ring pulsating or alternating Red and White. Possibly at current...

    Suhr vs PRS vs ??

    I completely agree about the Edge trems. I am of the same opinion. FYI, I was floored to discover that this Gotoh felt like an Edge. At least better than the 80's-90's ones as I had a dated Ibanez GR550 (or was it the 450? It had binding) to compare it to.

    High output pickups

    What are you using for sustain?

    I've used similar ideas to do this before and it's a great inexpensive way to get feedback at low vols.
