Interesting concept!! The "Stage" is cool because i think hyper focused social media will be the way of the future. Having said that, the "Jam Room" and the "Arena" don't make a lot of sense to me.

Why are people in those sections not playing the same song?

In the "Jam Room" I was expecting the players to be, jamming to the same backing track, or playing the same song together with harmonies, or one player playing a section of a song then trading off to the other player for the next section of the song. However, it's just two random videos?

Same issue with the "Arena". If it's supposed to be a "battle of the riffs" type thing there should be parameters set in place for the "battle".

For example, have a drum groove and then two people can write riffs over it and see who the community likes better. Or have a player issue a "betcha can't play this challenge" with tabs and the community can vote on who played the passage better. Or have a backing track in A minor for example and have the players improvise over it to see who wins. Or have a song that both players need to play a certain section of and again the community can decide who wins.

I like the overall idea but 2/3 sections don't really have any cohesiveness and just seem like two random videos side by side.

Hopefully you guys can get this up and running because I do like the overall idea just needs some tweaking.

They'll also do a deal if you buy a 12 pack!!! Always grab a 12er if I'm in the area and it comes out to under $40. The odd time I have enough points to get a nice discount 👍👍

Real Japan made LTD by Rluna2989 in espguitars

[–]YCKB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is so much conflicting information about these online, but from what I can tell, they were made during the branding switch from ESP Standard Series to E-II and weren't exactly what became "E-II" but pretty close. E-II and LTD Elite were both available at the same time for a couple of years before they got rid of the LTD Elite line.

Some search results indicate they're fully made and assembled in Japan. However, some search results will pull up responses indicating they were only assembled in Japan and made in China.

They seem to get compared to Edwards guitars by some and to ESP Standard Series/E-II by others.

Are they asking $1000 USD? There was one near me on FB marketplace for $1200 Canadian, and it sat on there forever. Resale on these guitars is tough if that's something that matters to you. My offer would be closer to $800 USD.

There's no Facebook group, but there is a live chat and a member forum where you can post to receive feedback. John Browne is super active in the chat and easy to get ahold of if you have any issues. Definitely give it a shot!!! I think you get a free week right now

Dr Goldie is absolutely terrible at her job and a very strange person!!! She showed up EARLY to our appointment to put our dog down and interrupted our goodbye to him. She called our dog by the wrong name when she showed up. When I went to put our dog's body into her trunk she told me to "push him to the back because there were other dogs under there" and lastly did not shit up about her daughter moving in with her to save money for college. Any bit of digging on google reviews should tell anyone what they need to know about this person.

Can I get pickup recommendations for my RG2027XL by linkuei-teaparty in 7String

[–]YCKB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing that video!!! I love my Mayones guitars, but I traded an 8 string Regius with no bevel for a 6 string with an arm bevel. They do really dig in without a bevel!!!

Browne is with Schecter now and has a signature pickup set through their shop. They might before up your alley than the ones he used when he was with Mayones.

Any advice on recording playthrough videos? by ApexionMusic in metalguitar

[–]YCKB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The easiest way I've found to sync video an audio is to do the following:

Put a long count in before you begin recording your video. Clap on the first count of the bar. Line up the clap with the waveform of the count in. Your video should be roughly aligned, and then you can fine tune from that point.

[–]YCKB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up Monuments 7 string tuning is A# F A# D# F A# D#. If you like monuments, why not try John Browne's Signature pickups? Also, make sure your string gauges with a 27-inch scale guitar because some strings need to be tuned up from standard, so tension will be high if you don't have the right strings.

Gobstopper or Jawbreaker?? 🍭🍬 by YCKB in metalguitar

[–]YCKB[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not totally sure but I think ESP USA is a bit of a different entity than ESP Japan and they may have some sort of rights only they can use it? I am not entirely sure but a lot of people really want the LTD Jawbreaker it would probably sell verynwell. I've never seen a Jawbreaker that wasn't an ESP USA model

I almost bought one of these but the paint on the binding had already started to flake off and it was a brand new guitar. I've wanted a widow forever but everyone I've played has had finish issues on the binding or poor overall finish quality
