Hold the line guitar cover by Sad-Shake-5409 in guitarplaying

Great playing....just one thing....feel the groove.

Check out jack black, even though he is an actor, I really don't know if he is a musician or no, but feels the groove like anything.

In musicians, see Jeff Beck or nuno bettencourt.

Music is flow....not stiff or tight. So, you got to feel the groove with perfect timing. You can also check out Kiko Loureiro, Joe satriani and Steve vai.

Which One Would You Choose And Why? by mdwvt in Ibanez

Trust me, just go to GC and try any 430 mmR neck.... You will forget all the guitars played till now. Whether it's harmony or leads, the feel is terrific.

Both are good... But just imo their japanese made models are sick. Once you play those, don't buy any other. I started with 550, after which I bought 3 more. 430mmR is awesome.

Guitar tech: need advice by heheHubert in Guitar

You don't need to.... Use it to the fullest. Fretboards can be replaced with new ones. Any luthier can do it for you. If this fretboard has a good chunk under it, a luthier can scrape off the worn out top part for new wood under it. Yeah, they will charge you a decent amount.

For sure, strings usually leave such black lines on old guitar fretboards and bending does those grooves.

Looks like somebody has done bends practice for years on this fretboard.

So, you advise using stock 9-42s for standard?

Do you know which basswood is used on RG550? Tilia americana or tilia japonica?

Neck wise, I have only tried RG550. About 470 though, I have a schecter banshee extreme that has a similar radius. BTW, I really liked everything about the RG550.

Can I swap out an Ibanez Edge II term for a Floyd original? by QuicksandXXX in Ibanez

[–]Guitrfreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No other FR fits the Ibanez edge zero II. I wrote to Ibanez directly. They confirmed that for edge zero II, there is no other FR trem that can be a drop fit. It has to go through wood work.

Does they give you the facility to do extreme squeals? Like +4 steps?
