    SG necks

    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.

    24.75" scale with a Floyd

    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...

    Bit of a rant

    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...

    D'Addario black ice picks

    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...

    Guitar Fetish Pickups

    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

    Westcreek Revenge (NGD)

    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...

    New BAD!

    Picked up the Boss Katana 110 bass amp today! I have the guitar amp (Katana 100 MK2) and this will go along nicely with it! Lots to dissect so I'll be a while getting used to it. I have the GAFC footswtich already for my guitar Katana so that works out even better!

    Gear prices

    I'm curious to know if US prices hit the pocket book like Canadian prices do. Say if you buy an Epiphone LP for example in the US for $599, and the same guitar in Canada is $899, does the US price hit the same as the Canadian price? Like does it feel like you are spending $900 in the US when...

    Removing pickup covers

    I wanted to try and remove the pickup covers on my SG Pro because I enjoy the aesthetic of not having the covers on. Do I need a soldering iron to remove them or can I just score the solder with a razor blade and remove the covers with a set of pliers? I'm really hoping there would be a set of...

    Selling used guitars at insane prices

    What is with dudes trying to sell a used guitar for almost the same price as a new one of the same model? This guy is trying to sell a used Epi Les Paul Muse for $600 CAD and a brand new one is on sale for $699 CAD. Am I missing something here? Do used Epiphones retain their value or something...

    Thinking about something different

    I have a love for bluegrass music and I've been playing and learning bluegrass on my acoustic and it has me thinking, it would be cool to break into something different like either a mandolin or a banjo and I'm torn between which one. I could get both eventually but I want to break the ice into...

    13.77" radius vs 14" radius. Are they they same?

    As the title suggests, if a guitar has a 350mm radius (13.77") would this technically be 14"? Would you be able to just adjust saddles to be at 14" or does it have to be 13.77"? There isn't much difference so I don't think it would matter? School me.

    Scam phone calls

    Has anyone else been getting an increase in scam phone calls? I'm in Canada, so maybe it's different where you are but it's almost on a daily, sometimes twice daily I will get a call from a scammer in the form of a lotto or Amazon scam. Recently I got a call asking me if I wanted to sell my...

    AC/DC songs, easy or hard?

    As the title suggests, would you classify AC/DC songs easy or hard to play on guitar? For me, I'm going with they sound easy, but are rather difficult to get to sound right. Angus and Malcolm have some precise technique to say the least. Everyone seems to think that AC/DC should be songs that...

    It's happened

    Well, I guess I'm now one of those guys that obsess over Les Pauls. After getting my first one in April, I haven't been able to put it down and now, I want to add another one to my collection. I feel like this will become a lifelong obsession and I'll end up collecting a few of them as I go along.

    How many guitars is too many?

    Do you limit the number of guitars in your possession at one time or do you say F it, I want all the guitars!

    SG neck dive

    To those that say "I don't like SG's, they have bad neck dive", I say you are completely wrong. If you wear an appropriate strap like a leather one with an unfinished back (raw leather) or suede, there is virtually no neck dive. + =
