The Official Guitar Thread

I really like the romeo-sc, would love to get a chance to check one out in person

I've never needed them but I have seen some on amazon for 10ish bucks, no clue if they are good or not. I've used actual guitar strings in that gauge with pressure to make minor adjustments.

cheap one:

Last time I went a few years ago, I'd say 80% of the items was marked new but was clearly used. Just a shit store ran by even shittier bean counters. Fuck'em

Still running at peak GAS. Finally got a pedalboard. Still a work in progress... got a Boss DD-500 and an EHX Deluxe Memory Man 100-TT on the way (sold my TC Electronic Triple Flashback) so obviously gotta figure out how to make more room. Might keep my wah and/or my ABY pedal off the board and just plug them in on the floor when I'm playing. And I need to get a second board to hold my Pigtronix Infinity looper and my BeatBuddy drum machine, so could move the reverb pedal over there since it's just always on, right before the looper.

This time last year I had two pedals, that Behringer DD400 and a Digitech FX69B Grunge. I really shouldn't afford this lol.

^ I get the appeal I run two full pedal boards basically, with my two amp setup... I would like to get each amp's gain section on their own loop for when I want to turn them all off at once, but otherwise there aren't enough situations where I'm looking to turn on/off specific groups of pedals all at once for one to make sense for me tho. I do want to keep adding more MIDI functionality to my board tho, so a MIDI switcher to go along with my Selah Quartz MIDI controller / external tap synchronizer (such a cool device) will probably eventually make sense tho.... Since then I can have the switcher buttons do different groups of effects for different songs.

I've looked at the site but never tried. $99 for a year as a new player seems like a pretty good thing. For an advanced player maybe not, you would need to dig into it a bit more to see if the value is there. Back when I was new to playing, it was $40+ a pop for a lesson so $99 for unlimited access to lessons seems crazy good provided you take advantage of it.

Finally need to replace my Epiphone Les Paul Studio Gothic I bought in 2005. Cat knocked it over (gonna blame her anyway, I probably shouldn't have had it leaning up there) and the neck cracked.

I tune a step and a half down (C# Standard). The 24.75" scale on a Lea Paul isn't that great for downtunings tho. Should I get a 25.5" for my next guitar or just go all the way to 27" baritone?

7/8 string owners, do you own a 6 string still? If not, do you miss having one around at all? Earlier this year I was thinking about buying an extended range guitar of some sort for even lower tunings, but now that I broke my 6 string I'm not sure if I should still get the 7 string and just adapt or keep a 6 string around and switch back and forth....

A seven string semi hollow body Les Paul copy?!?!?! I seriously might buy this off eBay. $325

This is $339????? There is some crazy cheap shit on eBay, why have I only been shopping on Reverb?

brand new 8 string guitar for $199?!?!?!

That hollow body looks great. Checked out there site a bit, if you are used to a 25.5 scale might be a bit weird. Most everything seems to be 24.75.


EDIT just saw your scale post, I've never gotten into the detuning stuff so not really sure but seems you are already used to the shorter scale.
