Time for a new build. I pretty much decided to build a very extravagant brother for my Metal Tele. Here are the specs: V-K body: Black Korina 2 Humbuckers 1 Volume, 1 Tone, 1 Toggle Switch Gotoh 510 Trem Ken Lawrence neck (off-menu): Roasted maple shaft Zitricote fretboard, modern medium...

I recently ordered a neck and a Flying V body (V-K). The body arrived with a small dent on the wing. After writing Warmoth, they immediately put in production a new body which they will send in 2-3 weeks. So far so amazing re Warmoth customer service... ...but now I will have two identical...

I have a strange problem (or I am missing something crucial). I recently tuned a hardtail Warmoth guitar down to D. After receiving a lot fret buzz as a result, I decided to add relief to the neck. I actually ended up giving a good 4 full turns after which I finally got to a point where the buzz...

I recently ordered a Black Korina Flying V (can't wait!) and I am now starting to contemplate how to finish it. I built this LP in the past with tru oil and it looks stunning: For my new V, I was wondering if there's a way to replicate this finish but darken the wood without losing the...

I'm on the verge of building another Warmoth. The body is going to be Black Korina (transparent black). The "tone" I am going for is an in-your-face metal tone. I am a serial buyer of roasted maple (shaft and fretboard) and wenge/ebony (shaft/fretboard). This time, I'm planning on going for...

Has anyone of you made experiences with Ceriatone? If yes, which of their amps can you recommend? There are so many, I don't even know where to start... Also is there a list which of them is a replica of which original?

It's time - I need a new guitar! I pretty much settled on a V this time given that I recently joined a metal band. Here's my huge problem: I am torn between building or getting an off-the-shelf V (e.g. the Schecter Evil Twin :love:). My dramatic emotional rollercoaster has led me here...

As @TBurst Std knows, I have gone mostly digital. But lately, I've made it hobby optimizing my beloved amp. Situation: I have recently bought the Boss ES-5 Switcher/Looper as per @stratamania's advice (see other thread). The device has an amazing functionality to control an amp's channels...

Just finished the book. Regardless of whether you're Metallica fan or not, this book goes into so much depth about James Hetfield's guitars on 400 pages with beautiful high-definition pictures that it will be a joy for everyone who is into building guitars. The detailed explanations of the...

OK, I've officially arrived in the pedalboard rabbit hole... In my attempt to make my pedalboard as convenient as possible, I stumbled across 4-way patchbays (e.g. Temple Audio 4-way or OneControl). Now I have a few questions some of you can maybe help me with: is a patchbay the same as a...

My cousin is a professional producer and recently talked me into getting the UA Apollo Twin X audio interface to replace my IK Multimedia Axe I/O. I was honestly shocked by how much of an audible difference it made. Then I figured how hard it is to pick the right gear for recording. So I thought...

Been a bit silent lately - feels good to write a message here again :-) So I have been fiddling around with my pedalboard lately and pretty much run the following: - front of amp: wah, tuner, boost, compressor - fx loop: delay, reverb So far so good - but now I want to avoid step dancing. I...

So I bought a Fender Jazz Bass. Right out of the box, there was a significant fret buzz on the e string. I followed all the best practices and added more relief to the truss rod (by turning it counter clockwise). Putting a capo on the first fret and pressing on the 16th fret, i got to...

Folks, sorry for starting a new thread but things became epic and I feel like some of you will appreciate what I have to share. Turns out Fender opened it's very first flagship store worldwide 2 weeks ago in Tokyo in a four-story building in Hajakuru (and there have been queues similar to Apple...

Folks, am visiting my brother and a good friend in Tokyo for 2 weeks. Any recommendations on guitar-related must dos?

So, I have built a few guitars and I'd say I understand the craft. Lately, I've gotten more and more into bass (some of you might have seen my fret buzz newbie thread) and started to think - why not build a bass? After a bit of research, it turned out that bass and guitar are same same but kinda...

I am a guitar player but volunteered to play bass in a cover band about 1 year ago (which has been a great learning experience fwiw). So I bought and have been playing an Ibanez SR 300 bass which has been doing its job well until 2 weeks ago when it started to have a very strong buzz on the E...

Probably won't make any difference to the product quality or assortment. But still feels strange...
