    anyone do the full time “club circuit”?

    We did 3 or 4 of the 'Durty Harry's' 2 week stints back in the mid 90s. Those bunk beds in the band shack damn near over the stage. Lol. I still have a few of the plastic cups from the bar. Fun memories.

    What solo are you working on?

    I remember fighting the 'Angry Again' solo when I was 24. Beastly. I dunno if i have the chops to play it today.

    where do you guys source your Charvel parts?

    I have 4 of these dirty motherfuckers...and I'm constantly wearing out switches and pots and trem parts. Stew-mac wants $25 for a fucking switch? WTGDF It's a crapshoot to find a decent knob. Whatchall doing?

    If nobody actually needs a 100 W amp anymore, why are we still buying them?

    Nobody needs a 6.4L supercharged ICE anymore either. But I want it.

    Wish Billy Squier would tour.

    I met Billy when he showed up to a Alice Cooper Tribute gig I did in '98 He was humble and cool AF as I gushed over him about the Don't Say No LP. Class act, but didn't Jeff Golub have a ton to do with the guitars on his stuff?

    who has a tech that they will send their guitar to, to make it awesome?

    I can maintain my guitars. I can do setups and pickup swaps and neck adjustments. I have 4 Charvels that I feel can be super great if a MASTER tweaked them. Who knows somebody?

    Frustration and no meaningful answers

    Didn't read the whole thread. I feel you. There are times I hand my guitar to my bass player to play a chord progression...just to get the thing...and it will sound massive. It makes me nuts. I have been listening to guys like OLA since he was a noob, and he'd record a part on a POD and...

    It’s that time again!!!

    My 1998 CU22. Bought it new. I love my Charvels and the other superstrats. But when it comes time to lay the pipe...this is my axe.

    Ready for AI vocals?

    I think it's interesting. It sorta forces you to separate your love for 'the music' versus hero-worship. We may be 10 years away from AI fixes your plumbing, but we're 10 minutes away from AI-George_Lynch is better than real George Lynch. Buckle up buttercup.

    Holdsworth Charvel Tribute Build

    IMO, Warmoth makes great necks, but they cant do a Charvel. The carves are not close and the headstock is just wrong. I have a bud that had MusiKraft make a Charvel like neck that was really spot on. That's where I'm going from now on for Charvel type necks.

    Yngwie at 18.

    Y-wing is a god. I saw him once a few years ago when he put 37 stacks onstage and shoved a 'band' into a 5 sq ft corner. 5 minutes was enough. But I was stuck there for the whole set. That's enough GangWay forever. He's still great on the records tho.

    ye ole rig thread ...

    I don't think there's ever been a 'post thy rig' thread anywhere that didn't quickly become: Here's everything I own, and 1 or 2 of my classic cars + cat threads. Did not disappoint.

    Did you ever play all of your gear in a day and still hate your tone?

    This. My 'tone' has always been the best when I play a lot. I spent a year playing through one of those blackstar battery amps. My recto and Axe-fx and the rest was in my ex-wife's basement. My 'tone' was massively improved.

    Mr. Vai being cryptic...

    I respect the shit out of Vai. He's a capstone of our era. But Vai doing anyone else's shit is always a tad goofy. Vai should do Vai. Or Yngwie should do Warrant. What the fuck do I know.

    Ever listen to famous isolated guitar solos?

    Kirk is objectively awful. All the guy has to do is work on solos. He is set up to be a KING. Biggest band that is active. Just work on 10 or so songs every 5 years. Jesus fucking Christ. He blows it.

    Line 6 Helix or Fractal with Headrush??

    It depends on your situation. Are you gigging? Are you rocking in your bedroom? Are you recording? I've been Fractal since 2009. If I was only recording, I'd do software amps. If I was bedroom rocking I'd look at Helix/Fractal/Fender. Gigging, I'd definitely do Fractal but the FRFR...

    Post a pic of the last guitar you got in 2023

    While I do think the pickups are important to this guitar... I don't think theyre Bill and Becky. I have an old Bill and Becky in a drawer, and this thing sounds close enough to keep. Anyway, this aint a CS Nuno that I've been lusting for forever...but it is a fun little axe. It makes me...
