    Why does Marilyn Manson dislike A7X??

    He's also been credibly accused of domestic and unwanted sexual violence by a number of exes with witnesses, so...

    What would your custom Shop guitar look like?

    The strap @Dominik Gräber custom made for my PRS does say "Captain Ed Seith" in Elvish, so there's that!

    Blocking a floyd rose

    Never a bad thing to still lock down the nut. The fine-tuners will still work, even if you have the bar out and the bridge blocked.

    Blocking a floyd rose

    Okay, yes, that is true. Any floating trem makes changing tunings harder.

    Blocking a floyd rose

    I have seen and dabbled with Rocksmith (my son has it) and I don't understand how or why you would need to block the Floyd for the game. If you just want to block it (and yes, your d-tuna would still work), it can be done with either of the methods you mentioned, but I see no reason to block the...

    I'm honestly not playing very much at all right now. I have some personal/physical reasons that I'll get into hopefully in the next few weeks and things should turn around then. If they do, I can commit to playing more, and I'll push to share more as well - the stuff I get to working on and...

    Life is crazy, thank you all for being here.

    Wow. I can't imagine what you've been through. When you're able, find a good counselor to help you navigate through it all and get yourself back to healthy on the inside. We want you with us a long time. I'm so glad you made it!

    Were there guitars with fading pinstripes

    Paging @Muz Malek to the post. Can you please expand and explain in more detail?

    Pedal setup

    TYPICAL would be to have that tuner first, compressor, volume or wah, gain pedals, then delay. If you plan to use more than one gain pedal at once, for some gain staging-type stuff, you'd have to experiment with that, and you may find you like different things in different places. "Typical"...

    Syn Standard tuning issues

    This is not just a Floyd Rose thing. This is ANY floating bridge. The whole thing is a seesaw - the bridge is the pivot, with string tension on one side and spring tension on the other (underside). Change either, and it changes all, and tuning a string differently, or using even a slightly...

    He says he doesn't find the added brightness of them to be "musical."

    What would your custom Shop guitar look like?

    Paul is being ridiculously stubborn about stainless. He's put them on the new limited Joe Walsh model, but that's about it, and probably only because Joe called it a dealbreaker. I really wish John Mayer had done the same. To get stainless now, you're looking at Private Stock, which (I believe)...

    What would your custom Shop guitar look like?

    I'd totally do that "burnt chrome."

    What would your custom Shop guitar look like?

    Oh, I'm not saying they're not important, and the tone of the Syn pickups WILL be used on recordings I make in the future, especially rhythm tracks. That bass bump is just not something I'd want to build my tone from. They have an incredible clarity and articulation to them that I really love...

    What would your custom Shop guitar look like?

    I think the PRS 85/15 set might be my overall favorite ever, but I don't think you can just buy them and put them into anything, so I'd have to research what comes close. Also, I think pickups are probably the smallest overall effect on tone, so it may just be that I've tuned my tone in the...

    What would your custom Shop guitar look like?

    So, yeah, I guess. I have had one built by Kiesel, and I will get another that will be my very last for some time. Ideal: Mahogany back, flamed maple top. Super-strat style body (Theos or Aries, most likely), possibly chambered as long as it doesn't bring about neck dive (research required)...

    SYNTV

    We don't have a date yet, all we have is "soon." It is not yet in closed beta testing, so I would not expect it in June. Beyond that, is anyone's guess, but I'd like to believe some time in Q3 (Jul-Sept).
