Apparently, he made some dumbass remark about the gay owner or an endorsing artist (it's a little fuzzy) of strandberg guitars on ********.
A bunch of artists jumped all over it, it got blown way out of proportion and, coupled with some 'poor customer service issues', could dry up the communities desire for these guitars pretty fast and shut him down.
I am straight. I don't see eye to eye on 'gay issues'. But that's my opinion and giving someone crap for no reason, on ******** nonetheless, for just being gay, is just an a-hole move.lift big 2 get big

Yes it is.. I don't get why people need to be that verbal in their beliefs, especially when it comes to not accepting certain kinds of people.
If his business ends up going down it's pretty much his own fault..
Anyways, back to guitar talk
Tried one of the "roadworn" fender strats in a shop today, it felt amazing. Ran it together with a vintage style tube amp (don't remember what brand though) and the sound was really amazing, it had that "rolling" thickness to it, sort of like John Mayers big dipper single coils..
I really need to push for a job right now, my fingers are itching really bad for a new strat and a new amp!No hate on the mod

I had a '57 re-issue in 2001 or so, gold finish and V-neck profile. didn't think I'd like it, but it was really nice. If the fretboard had been a little flatter I'd have kept it, but the round board and big bends = fretting out, so I sold it. Played it through a Gibson Goldtone GA30 stereo combo with a Budda Phatman tube OD pedal, sweet blues tones.
Now it's too much metal and shred, seven string guitars, effects in the loop, EQ on tap, etc..lift big 2 get big

I prefer a slightly thicker c shape neck, easier on the hand when hitting the base notes with the thumb
I know those feels about round fretboards killing the bends, I like to go full Albert King and do "super bends" as I like to call it, bending four frets instead of two, rounded fretboard is a no-go for me lol

I just jam, at 49 I'm still in denial that I'll never be Gilbert or Vai or Johnson or Malmsteen.
I'm trying to find my way into the lower registers with the 7 strings. I'd like to play some of the newer Disturbed, Five Finger, Slipknot type stuff, but don't have the time as we are raising our 18 month old grandson who takes up the entire evening. At least he likes me to play for him, sometimes I have to play every guitar.
But I play everything from blues licks to folk to shred.lift big 2 get big

Congrats on being a grandfather man My gfs dad is about your age, he's still playing live punk concerts with his band at least once every two months in front of big audiences, has a respectable recording studio and has a new album on the way, and his oldest daughter has a kid, so he's a grandfather as well. Being a rock star is still achievable!
I don't play that much metal, mainly because it just makes me frustrated lol, I love to play blues, rock etc, as well as some folkrock/folk inspired music, mainly acoustic in open tunings when it's folk. Lately it has been a lot of acoustic playing as my strat is at home and I have been living with my gf for the last 2 months.
Usually I like music that I can put my entire soul into, it's a lost art to feel the music the way Hendrix, Morrison, Joplin, BB King etc did way back then, and to me that's what's giving me the most joy.
Not to mention that I can't shred for **** hahaNo hate on the mod

Getting my Ibanez RGT6EXFX from repairs soon. Stoked to play it again. It's out of production, so I'm happy that I have a somewhat rare guitar.
I'm also installing Juggernaut pickups on it, Misha Mansoor's signature pickups. Any of you here tried those? Liked the sound on his demo vids so I want to try them out on my main guitar.
Might switch back to EMGs for when I need to though.
I play prog metal, blues, classic metal and post-rock stuff and I have intentions of making music for a living at some point. Really just need to finish my IGCSEs and I'll have a few months to record in peace. Haha.

Does anyone have experience with the new 2014 Schecter Blackjack guitars? Looking to get an A-7 but the closest shops to me only carry old Schecter models.

Had to sell my other 7's, but got a steal of a deal on this DBZ Barchetta RX-7

recording set up you can easily find on youtube for multi instruments. I have the 2 input model for personal home use so I never had to worry about that. as for programming, the default software is ableton I believe which is largely fairly user friendly. haven't played around with sonar x3 though

What are signs of a bad solder on a pickup?
I Installed a Seymour Duncan Blackout on my guitar years ago, it never got the tone i wanted out of it, I bought a new guitar, but I'd like to see if this old one is fixable before selling it.
It' lacks fullness and has almost no attack on the low E, it's very fuzzy and palm mutes sound like ****, soft and warm with no chunkiness at all.
How do I check the solders?-Crohn's Disease crew

did you change all the control pots and add the battery clip?
an active pickup requires completely different control pots than a passive, and, of course a battery. if you mixed pickups, they'll suck, if you kept the old pots, they might suck
you don't install ONE active pickup, you do the set and all the controls, or you can get - sucky tone
HB pots are 500k, single coil pots are 250k, active pots are 25k-100klift big 2 get big

It's a passive... I think Wouldn't an active come with the 9 volt adapter?
I don't see any blackouts available in passive, but I got this years ago. So maybe it's not a blackout... or I have an active pickup and I'm ****ed.
Just resoldered the worst looking wires, original wires were fray and **** at the volume pot.
At first it worked, and still sounded flat.
Now it doesn't work.
Oh well I'm too tired, hot, and frustrated, I think I'm gonna put the old pickup back on it and try to sell it and the blackout to GC and pick up a new guitar, maybe an acoustic.Last edited by Tillday; 06-25-2014 at 07:06 PM.

Blackouts, by themselves, don't come with the clips, pots, etc.. those come with a set.
As far as I know, they've always been active, so that could explain part of the problem, a bad solder joint would cause the sudden failure, if you have enough lead, unsolder it, trim back some wire, make sure to 'tin' the pot a little, then heat the WIRE and let it draw into the solder, need more explanation, look it up, plenty of sites with picks, soldering is easy, once you know HOW to do it rightlift big 2 get big

Edit / Nope just tore it out and looked up the number it's an Invader not a Blackout. So it is a passive, back to learning to solder.
Cleaned up all the solders on the volume pot, still sounds weak, like the tone is down, but it's a universal tone, and the neck pickup sounds fine.
http://yourlisten.com/instantcoffee/neck-vs-bridge
Here's a comparison, first time on each riff is bridge, second is neck, noticeably way more gain in neck. Idk what's up.
Neck volume pot is giving me about 10.50-11 ohms, bridge is 3.5 something's up.Last edited by Tillday; 06-26-2014 at 08:47 AM.

Anybody got a recommendation for a flat-top steel string acoustic guitar that's <$500?
I unfortunately have expensive tastes -- my ideal acoustic guitar would be a Martin D28 (!) -- but I can't justify dropping that kind of coin on something that I'll probably just noodle on around the house. Ideally though it would be something that sounds good and records well for strumming, finger-picking, and single-note soloing. Has to play/stay in tune, and be durable/reliable.
A known major brand with a decent warranty would be nice too.
Whattya recommend? Thanks.
