    A cool video of an ESP Custom Shop build

    I was surfing ESP's website today and came across this (only about 4 minutes unfortunately): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIMwkZpp6eY Its waaay too over-the-top for me, but still a pretty cool build. I always like seeing things go from concept/idea to creation and reality. Easily a...

    Formula 1

    First off, I've always been a fan of almost any type of racing but I simply cannot understand why the US embraces NASCAR. I'd rather watch grass grow than watch any race on an frickin' Oval. NASCAR drivers and cars seem about as technical and challenging as a 6th grade Science Fair compared to...

    Rocksmith Guitar software

    I saw this on Steam today, and it kinda blew me away - never heard of this software before and it seems pretty bad azz. What really caught my eye was the virtual jam mode (check out the You Tube video of Jerry Cantrell doing a demo)...

    How to remove a stripped tuner screw?

    Hi all. Am installing Schaller mini locking tuners into a Bloodwood neck. While test fitting a screw lubricated with wax it got about half way in the pilot hole before becoming stuck, I pretty much stripped the screwhead (but not totally). My first instinct is just to grab some pliers and try...

    Jackson "Roswell" Rhoads Flying V

    Check it out... I wasn't aware there was any tie between a UFO found in the late 40's and Randy Rhoads. Apparently, Jackson has that particular autopsy footage: Notice what I'll call "crop circle" inlay's...? "Close Encounter" inlays...? Hey, and they're only $4200.00!  :doh: I'm a HUGE...

    Vintage vs. Modern, a study with (not so) surprising results...?

    Original article: http://arstechnica.com/science/news/2012/01/million-dollar-violins-dont-play-better-than-the-rest.ars By: Kate Shaw The old adage tells us not to judge a book by its cover, and now it seems as though we shouldn’t judge a violin by its price. Violins crafted in the so-called...

    New Amp Day!

    I've been after one of these ever since I was 15 and played one in my local Schmitt Music store... I didn't remember what it was at the time, I just remembered "Gallien Kreuger" and that it was awesome. Well, after doing some research - I finally found exactly the model I wanted, and the same...

    New guitar case...

    Well, I've needed a guitar case for my DM strat ever since I finished it... I thought about getting a new or used G&G Fender case, but even used ones aren't cheap. Still, I wasn't going to skimp on protecting my baby. Others had posted similar 'case' threads and I through those I found peeps...
