Lol - if we're doing that, I'd have heaps of suggestions

I don't think I've ever sold one ...

I chucked a Samick in a rubbish skip once.

Isn't that the whole point of the Internet?

Well, that and the #GRAWR hash tag on twitter

I love this: Jordan Rudess from Dream Theater with some other dude I've never heard of, and a singer, covering Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger" entirely on iPads (except for the vocals, duh), using Jordan's latest app (which incidentally is a frakking corker). [youtube]http://www.youtube.com...

22 for me. However, I would like at least two octaves up the fretboard. So why do I say 22? Two simple reasons: first, my fat stumpy fingers can barely fit in the 22nd fret space on a 25 1/2" scale guitar; second, getting that short an effective string length starts sounding really thin and st...

I suppose most of us have read this article on this issue: http://www.edroman.com/techarticles/22vs24.htm What's everyone's thoughts? I don't feel qualified to comment either way (and I feel Ed Roman is a bit of a dick) but would love to hear the opinions of our resident technical experts/luthiers....

Actually in recent years the body's swelling outpaced the head. He's made a good effort at re-establishing earlier proportions.

Judging by the preview clips on iTunes, it's possibly the worst song on the album. Strange choice for the single, I thought - but i figure he wants to show he can rock hard. Yeah. Man. Ugh. \m/ And such. And the less said about the video the better. I don't recall being particularly impressed by Nic...

Of course, that first samick was in 1987, and the warlock I got second hand in the early 90s, so they're both old ... I mean wowrarevintagecollectible

My first guitar was a samick strat copy. Once I put in a dimarzio super distortion and a Seymour Duncan hot rails, the plywood body became irrelevant. Once I replaced the bridge with a floyd, its shittiness became irrelevant. Once my bandmate and I smashed the necks of our guitars together and munte...

This: I find strats get boring after about 20 minutes unless humbuckered. A ballsy bridge humbucker on anything is my main prerequisite and any kind of tonal variety is a bonus. So I guess that make my mindset "anything but a standard strat". I was always strat >> LP in my mindset - even t...

Tone/sounds are totally subjective. For instance, my likes/dislikes in tone/sounds are (predictably) bound to be different from yours. Some examples: I loathe the sound of American V8s I loathe the sound of Subarus I loathe the sound of Harley Davidsons I loathe the sound of a two-stroke engine I l...
