    Whammy Bar for Les Paul

    Well, like all things, it's a compromise. Based on what I'm reading, it doesn't have the range of motion of a traditional floyd, and it might be hard to get the action right on an archtop guitar, like a Les Paul. I still think a Bigsby might be a safer option, but I'd certainly be interested in...

    Whammy Bar for Les Paul

    "All the trouble of a Floyd Rose with none of the benefits!" Seriously, though, that is kind of interesting. I'm going to see if I can find a look at other angles of that.

    Whammy Bar for Les Paul

    Noah's right. A Floyd would involve a giant hole through the whole guitar and a lot of other routing. It cannot be undone, even partially. My first thought was a bigsby, too.

    A small doubt

    Solder is always a tin-based alloy, yes - it melts quickly, cools fast, and conducts electricity.

    A small doubt

    You do not want the copper to melt at all. You want the tin to melt and solidify the electrical connection between the two pieces of copper or the copper and the metal of the connector on the pot. Please read and watch videos (or watch someone do it in front of you) before you attempt to solder...

    A small doubt

    As others have said, the guitar is your personal and intimate connection to the music. The amp channels it, but the connection comes between hands and strings. Ultimately, it depends on whether or not this particular guitar "feels like home" to you. If it FEELS perfect, then upgrade the pieces...

    Syns guitar picks

    Ya, I honestly had no idea there was any kind of a market for this. Certificate of authenticity?? Really? Damn.

    Hey metalheads

    For budget amps, there seems to be a general consensus that the Boss Katana variants can't be beat.

    What are you working on?

    I spent the last couple days hanging ceiling storage in the garage. There are a lot of reasons I did this (Christmas stuff, etc), but the really big one FOR ME was to get all the empty guitar cases out of my closet. See, the AxeFX in my gig-rig is out for daily play. In the closet is a 1x12...

    Switching between regular tuning and drop D.

    All they really do is make it so you can’t switch easily back and forth. The fact that they stick out farther than standard means that in some guitars, you would no longer be able to pull up on the bar as far. They do not change the other five strings pulling slightly sharp when you go drop d...

    Switching between regular tuning and drop D.

    You certainly can do that. The only issue is that when you de-tune the low string a whole step (from E to D) the other 5 strings will be pulled SLIGHTLY sharp to compensate for the spring tension on the underside of the Floyd. This would happen no matter what (even with the D-Tuna), and it's a...

    Some Thoughts I'd Like To Share

    I knew there were plenty of IG chats. I was surprised when I heard a little bit about how many. I’m only in one. There are a lot of members there, but only a few ever speak up. It’s mostly memes and joking around. I don’t really notice any significant negativity there, but that doesn’t mean...

    Pro tools installing third party amp sims

    You can, depending on what you’re going for. I use it for trimming my metal minute videos, but I don’t know that it could be considered a real DAW with audio plugins and such. you’re better off downloading reaper and paying the $60 for it when you can afford it, assuming you like it. The demo...

    Made my own solo, Is it original?

    Sounds great and doesn't remind me of anything.
