i have a d-tuna. it will still go out of tune unless you block the trem or rig it for dive only

Dawdy

Just remember with a floyd rose, you cant tune to drop D and back without it throwing the other strings out of tune. Unless you have one of these. I've got one on my Jackson DR. You can lock the tremolo from moving, set it to dive only (not pull-up), or leave it fully floating. http://cgi.ebay.ca/NE...

EMG 81 or Duncan JB

Dawdy

thats why i said ignore the red and white wires in that Duncan diagram, those are for coil splitting or whatever its called. The 3 wires coming out of your pickup, one is the hot wire (the sound), the other two are ground wires. The bare wire is always going to be a ground. So try soldering the red ...

Dawdy

ok either the red wire or the white wire is your hot wire. the other wire, along with the bare wire are ground wires. you have to figure out which one is the hot wire. trial and error i guess if you look at this diagram, the black one is the hot wire, the green and bare are ground wires. so you have...

Dawdy

but when I block it, I feel like I don't have the bridge zeroed out or whatever the term for it is. It always looks like it's pulling forward a bit this should help with that. i actually made something exactly like this because i was to cheap to buy one. i set it to where it made the bridge sit per...

i've never completely stripped the paint off a guitar when painting it. just take it down past the clearcoat. my one guitar i painted was a neckthru. i just sanded the neck as i would anywhere else. when painting it, mask off the fretboard with masking tape. i usually double layer it just to make su...

Dawdy

yeah, it was a Hetfield signature guitar

Dawdy

i've got the gain cranked on my amp, plus i use a boss super overdrive to boost it more. sounds great while im playing but as soon as you stop, the amp is screaming feedback. I got the NS-2 and it eliminated it. So it works for me

Dawdy

i want to pick up an Explorer. i hate the pointyness of that. i like the rounder edges more like Gibson/Epiphone.

Dawdy

i sold my crappy effect board and picked up some pedals. what is the best way to chain them all together? wah pedal boss sd-1 overdrive (using as a gain boost) boss dd-3 delay boss ge-7 eq boss tu-2 tuner boss ns-2 noise suppressor 3 of the pedals i dont have in my posession yet, but this is how i w...

Dawdy

seems like it would be hard to play that thing with the dick in the way

Dawdy

painted my Kramer black, and added the Kirk Hammett ouija board graphics. Also took the EMG 81/85 pickups from my washburn and put them in

Dawdy

you had me until the end

Dawdy

i've been playing the new Alice in Chains song, Check My Brain a lot lately. I also love playing SOD's March Of The SOD. So easy, yet heavy as fuck.

Dawdy

i agree. i have no use for it, but i couldnt pass up the deal on this Ibanez. i blocked the bridge so it doesnt move. so it basically functions like a fixed bridge. no screwing around tuning, re-tuning, and adjusting when changing strings. Tuning to drop D doesnt throw the other strings out of tune....

Dawdy

ok i actually managed to get it all back to the way it is supposed to be, instead of just close enough. Maybe i didnt realize it, or im too dumb to know these things, but the strings arc from high E to low E, with D and G being the highest. The saddles are in pairs. So there should be 3 pairs of two...

do you know who makes it, or what the name is?

Dawdy

Yeah, i get that aswell. The smell is nasty and it sticks to your hands. Usually when i get that it's time to change strings. I change strings often these days :tup: the thing is, i have 5 guitars. So i might put fresh strings on one, but maybe only play it 2 or 3 times over the next couple of mont...

Dawdy

I notice over time, after i play, my left hands smells. Probably the build up of sweat and skin on the strings. I remember reading a while ago about guitar products, more specifically something you wiped the strings with it. I think it helped with the string life, but im not sure if it solved the sm...

Dawdy

gibson pure heavy wedge style

Dawdy

when i first started playing guitar, I bought the cheapest guitar and amp i could find. they were so horrible that everything sat for about 6 months. Then i started to get back into it, and the better equipment i bought, the more fun it started to get to play. So i wouldnt start off with real cheap ...

Ibanez RG 350DX (Dimarzio Tone Zone bridge pickup) Epiphone G-400 (GFS Fat Pat pickups) Epiphone Les Paul Custom (EMG 81 and 60) Kramer....dont know the model. maybe Baretta (Quad Rail pickups....fucking hot) Washburn Flying V (EMG 81 and 85) Peavy ValveKing 212 Boss ME-50 effect board http://img.ph...

i ordered my fat pats. should get them in the mail next week hopefully. will post pictures once its all done.

Dawdy

I just got an Epiphone G-400 off of ebay real cheap. It came with everything but the pickups/electronics. I'm not sure what pickups i want to put in it. I like the look of the chrome covered pickups. I dont think i want to buy the Epiphone ones meant for it. I've been reading great reviews for these...

Dawdy

would shielding the electronics better, help?

Dawdy

every time i go to a pawn shop the guitars are waaaaaaaay overpriced. I saw a Jackson JS30KV, which is an entry level guitar thats about $300 brand new. The place was trying to sell it for $400 used.

Dawdy

i've got two sets of them. i have the 81/85 in one guitar, and 81/60 in another. When i got the first pair installed, i thought they were awesome, a huge upgrade over the factory pickups. Then when i got the second pair installed in another guitar, i realized that they pretty much made both guitars ...

Dawdy

Hey Slay, you know what sounds really awesome in the bridge position of an Ibanez RG, is a Dimarzio Tone Zone. I put one in my 350DX and its awesome. I used to be a big EMG fan, but this is now my new favorite pickup

Dawdy

when i alternate pick really fast, or gallop, i play from my elbow

Dawdy

more easy songs, Anthrax: I Am The Law, and Madhouse

Dawdy

i cant up-pick, i have to down-pick everything

Dawdy

i fully endorse this program. its fucking awesome

Dawdy

i just learned March of the S.O.D.
easy as fuck. its not fast, or really all that thrashy, but its nice and heavy

Dawdy

uhh....i think thats out of my budget

anybody have any opinions on M-Audio Fast Track, or IK Multimedia StealthPlug?

Dawdy

i was just plugging into my soundcard. It was ok, but there were too many problems. Its a crappy soundcard. im looking to get something that is external and plugs into the USB. I want something that runs smooth. I got sick of the latency shit. Anybody recommend anything? Im looking to spend around $...

Dawdy

were you playing a real Gibson or an Epiphone? sometimes the cheap low-end guitar bodys are made from cheap/lighter wood and that throws off the balance. I had a guitar that did that to me, so i just moved the one strap button from the top of the guitar to near the neck joint, and that fixed the bal...
