    Wizard not a wzard?

    I'm a bit of fanatic for old Ibanez Wizards, the 17mm=1st fret versions. I met a guy who built a Warmoth and got their version Wizard profile so I was excited to play it. When I did, I noticed immediately that it was not the Wizards I know & love BUT, still nice & I would definitely order that...

    To Scallop or Not To Scallop?

    I thought they didn't take out enough wood on the lower frets at least. I have stan. thin also. It had been years since I adjusted the rod on mine. I have had it since 1994 and live in Minnesota so seasonal truss adjustments are usually required. I finally did adjust it this year but only...

    Seymour Duncan Vrs. DiMarzio

    I've always gone for DiMarzio by default. I think it's maybe early programming. When I started playing in the late 70's DiMarzio was a brand of pickup even my drummer knew of. I've tried some Duncans, even have the Distortion in a couple of guitars but I have more DiMarzios and will always...

    Not too happy overall

    With Floyd nuts too low is better actually. It's far easier to shim it up than to shave off wood.

    Groove Tubes "Substi-Tube" 928-PRs / THD YellowJackets

    I have some Yellowjackets that I've used in my Marshalls before. They do what their supposed to but I don't really like them more than stock EL34's. You lose some low end with the YJ's/84's & headroom. Which is understandable. They're fun to play around with.

    What Tuner do you use?

    Boss TU-8 for gigs(it's like a TU-12 but fewer features). Petersen VS-1 for at home and intonation.

    To Scallop or Not To Scallop?

    I like to practice with my scalopped Strat copy but I have never played it live. I like it when I can be very precise & am concetrating but live there's too much other stuff going on. That's me though. Aside from that there's no other adjustment. My left hand it pretty light. I use 9-42 strings...

    Kerry Livgren's Warmoth

    damn, look at the stretch. He should try incorporating the pinky finger.

    What ARE we doing wrong?

    It's so dumb because there isn't ONE version of his old faithful guitar. He had a bunch of different necks, different model Floyd's. I'd MAYBE entertain the idea of one of those Charvel special editions he put out because he at least put them together with his own hands and played them onstage.

    Warmoth Truss Rod Trenches, straight or curved?

    Does anybody know if the trenches Warmoth cuts in the necks for the truss rods to lie in are straight or curved?

    Resgister bodies and necks

    I think you mean Showcase. The gallery is where completed customer guitars are. The stuff in Showcase always seems to be way more expensive than if you orderd one from scratch.

    For those of you who...

    That a note is sharp on the the pluck, then flat on the decay is true but the real tone you should tune with is the decay not the initial sharp pluck. If you want to take it a step further, try hitting your low E really hard, what happens? It goes very sharp. Then settles to the true pitch. Then...

    Custom 7-string!

    Looks great. I've been wanting to build a Warmoth 7 for awhile now but can't seem to get myself to go ahead with it. I think because the tremolo Warmoth offers has a slightly wider string pitch than my Ibanez and the neck will be slightly thicker, and the fretboard won't be as flat. The 25"...

    MXR noise gate pedal

    You mean the DUNLOP Mxr Smart Gate? I would look at another (ISP Decimator?) I have one, the construction is crap. I've sent it to Dunlop twice and it crapped out again and now it's out of warranty so I'm out $90. The old, gray MXR Noise Gate Line Driver from the 70's is good though (not Dunlop).

    Digital Wireless Unit X2

    I bought the first one, with the pedal-like receiver when it came out in January. I like it, I sure won't use analog ever again (I've been waiting for something like this) but it's not perfect. The range on mine is only 150 feet. The unit you pictured, the new rackmount is twice that though. I...
