    I had one of those. Cool pickups.

    How do you stay interested in guitar once the days of gigging are over?

    I always have a need to create and write, so even without a band and playing shows, I'm still writing riffs and songs. It can be tough to find time with a 55-60 hr work week, but there's no way I could ever stop playing. My band hasn't had a drummer for over a year, until recently, and haven't...

    Motor City Pickups Afwayu

    I liked it a lot. But I do prefer ceramic magnets because the compression in the low end usually sits the way I like.

    No, I didn't feel like it lost any chunk at all.

    ESP E-ii vs Jackson USA which has better QC??

    I didn't order from them directly. The 2 I have were part of a run Northerner Guitars did last year. I bought one from them at the end of the year, and then just got the second one last month from someone locally that bought from the same run. But yeah, I got a quote a couple years ago for a...

    ESP E-ii vs Jackson USA which has better QC??

    I've had both, and they're both great. Jackson uses a thinner finish, which makes the guitars more resonant and feel better to play, IMO. But prices on both are pretty outrageous these days. I had a pro series king V for $1k that was punching harder than some of my Japanese ESPs from the early...

    Talk to Me About ENGL

    I felt similarly about the FB. Kinda flat midrange, too open in the low end.

    Talk to Me About ENGL

    I think Euge's video does a good job at showing the differences here. I have experience with a few Engls. I've owned a couple of Fireball 100s, Fireball 25, and my other guitar player owns a Powerball 2. I spent a short time with a friends Savage. To my ears, Engl has 2 types of high gain...

    Yeah, you just gotta order and forget about it, unfortunately lol. It will show up eventually. I also wouldn't be surprised if he prioritizes guys like Cantrells pickups over regular customers. But I don't know if that's the case.

    Karnivore vs V30

    I can see that being thing, but I can say that I 100% did not do this. I kept my amp settings where they've been for the past couple of years. They don't change much, maybe a little more or less mids if I'm at practice and can't hear something quite right that day, but that's usually more...

    Motor City Pickups Afwayu

    Very good pickup. I've had a few from MCP. Solution, Hell Baby (which was discontinued like 15 years ago), some random custom pickup he made, and a SHIT TON of Nukes haha. They were all great. The Hell Baby was my favorite pickup for a while, and I bought up a ton of used ones when I could. I...

    NVD: Dean Vengeance Evertune

    Yeah this. Custom V that Endtime on guitar gear forum made for me about 7 years ago. He also built the koa V and my Strat. Awesome guitars.

    NVD: Dean Vengeance Evertune

    Nice! I had both of the other ones for about a year. I was bummed about the FR version because the stock photos showed a more gray/black color than what actually got delivered. My other guitar player has the FR Explorer. They're awesome guitars! Minor things I would've changed, but mainly...

    Karnivore vs V30

    The boxes are getting shipped off with all the v30s I’m selling lol. I’ve had the first quad since July and have played them with my band and recording. And since I already dislike v30s, these are a massive improvement in every way.

    Karnivore vs V30

    My second preorder quad showed up today. Ordered a third quad from Sweetwater yesterday. Swapping out all my cabs.
