I love the feel of my LP, but the upper fret access can get a little tight when playing lead. I always prefer the playability of an SG

So, I recently stumbled upon the Digitech Drop Tune pedal which allows you to change tunings on the fly without switching guitars or string gauges. It got me thinking, I would only really need one guitar with humbuckers to cover just about anything in any tuning, within the rock/metal/blues...

I happened to go to my local store yesterday and they had one of those new Epiphone SG Moderns, the neck on that was exceptionally nice. super comfortable, rounded but not excessively chunky. The neck on my '61 pro is almost super thin compared to the modern.

Is there a huge difference between the neck on a SG '61 vs. an SG Standard? I hear the standard has a chunkier neck as compared to the slim taper '61. Yes I can just go to my local guitar shop, but I don't go there much as it's out of the way and I only go there when it's necessary.

Why is it almost impossible to find a 24.75" scale guitar with a Floyd Rose? It seems like all the guitars that are equipped with a double locking trem are 25.5" scale. Does it have to do with the shorter scale affecting the tension of the strings making tuning harder to maintain? I have only...

So after buying my Westcreek, I was wondering why other budget brands like Epiphone (and others) don't offer stainless steel frets? I mean, Westcreek can offer a killer guitar with SS frets for a fraction of the cost of a high end Epiphone, and the Epi's usually come with bad fretwork that...

Yeah I suppose. Dave doesn't play acoustic at all and he has a signature Gibson 24 fret (lol) acoustic

Does Dave play LP's now? I have only ever seen him play a V

I have found my new favorite pick! I ordered these the other day and tried them today and wow, they are wicked good. I was using D'Addario Nylpro 1.4mm gripped picks and while they are good, I wanted to try a pick without a grip and they are much, much better. These are a little thinner too and...

Has anyone here tried the Guitar Fetish Crunchy Pat pickups? I'm looking at getting a bridge and neck high output set for my Westcreek Revenge. These pickups are priced well, but would they be too good to be true? Crunchy Pat H/O Humbuckers

Hey all! It's been a while. I had to take a break from forums for a while (and the internet in general) but I decided to make an appearance again today! I bought this Westcreek Revenge about a month ago as I wanted a guitar for chug/heavier tuned songs and I didn't want to spend a fortune so I...

Whooptidooo, more T Swift propaganda!

White Rickenbacker :love:

I've played bass for most of my musical life and I miss having a 5 string. I never struggled muting the low B. You just have to anchor your thumb on it when you play, like you would anchor your thumb on the neck pickup/bridge pickup on a 4 string. I can cross the bigger bass amp off my wants...

That Epi LP is absolutely stunning! There's just something about zebra pickups on a Les Paul that screams Rock and Roll!
