NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Yeah, thought I'd done it right but nothing showed up! Scrambling now to see what I've done wrong

I picked up this guitar to have as a bit of a project over the next few weeks. It's my first fender so excited to see what the fuss is about. I've been prowling for a maple neck and 2 tone burst for a while. Was hoping to give it a bit of a worn look, but this one came already roughed up! It was lis...

Do you guys recommend dropping a helix effects or stomp on the end of this pedalboard?

A lot of money to invest but would be good to ‘finish ‘ the board and not surf for sale sites so much

Looking to add a stomp or fx to my board.
What did you end up getting and which one would you recommend?

Ok, so I’m a bit further on and a bit poorer with my pedalboard. All cheap copies except delay.
Polytune>Boost>bd2>ocd>Rat>klon>Nemesis delay> looper

I’m looking for a reverb and mod now to finish things up.


Any advice on Ventris or Helix HX stomp?

Thanks for sharing your experience with the ltd guitar. Do you have any pictures of how yours turned out? Sounds like that epoxy layer would be a whole lot of sanding, or risk using more aggressive sanding As for the binding channel, I was wondering about routing the corner off into a curve? Would h...

Amazing work! Love that darker look

Yeah’ that is a worry for sure. What did you strip back that wasn’t great?

I picked up a MH-350 NT recently and am hoping to project it a bit. I really like the neck through, and the string through body hard tail, but I hate the binding on it I’d like to strip it back to wood and take the binding off Does anyone have experience taking the paint off ESP LTD guitars. I hear ...

What is a sensible number of distortions?
The suggestions seem to only have a few pedals.
Maybe it's by bogan roots showing but I feel bad leaving different distortions out.

Does anyone have a main board that somehow adds into another home board?

Thanks for the advice all. I’ve just shelled out for EBS patch cables so hope they will be enough quality. I was really hoping the cheap power supply would be ok, but will consider upgrading that in the future I tried a few of the ideas mentioned and will keep playing over the holidays. The Bad Monk...

2 votes for the bad monkey already?

It did sound great with the LP jr but seemed to decrease the volume quite a bit. Is there a fix for this?

Also is it a variant of a tubescreamer? Any point swapping it for a mini tubescreamer?

I've been trying to move past beginner guitarist and have been collecting a few pedals to learn about what they all do. Now I'd like to start planning which ones to keep, so I can afford other toys. I need help to sort out what stays, which are double ups, what I should add, what can stack well etc....
