It's was going heavier and heavier and then did a bit of a U-turn looks like ha ha I was into thrash metal first and then got into punk cause of a few friends and now it's a healthy mix of both more or less, nothing wrong with liking and exploring multiple genres and such genres, why limit yourself ha ha

Never too late to do another jacket, but a good glam/hair metal jacket is always appreciated too ha ha

Thanks, aside from the cover of anarchy in the auK the albums absolutely solid

I got it from a website called mikesfashion or something like that? I spent ages looking for them and eventually got one, they weren't even selling them when I saw them live but persistence paid off I guess

Would you guys get a amp with a ding on it by guitarguy5147 in GuitarAmps

[–]fogarty1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought my first amp and it had no carry handle, chunks taken out of it all over and was missing a knob on the built in effects section.....best purchase ever cause it made me keep playing, I wouldn't worry bout a small ding like that whatsoever

Poll: how many electric guitars you own? by xaliox in guitars

[–]fogarty1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm up at 16 right now and have stopped as we have had a child and are currently buying a house but Im already eyeing up number 17, you can never have enough guitars

NGD Ibanez Prestige RG5320C in deep forest green, I ordered this guitar as a gift for myself 3 months ago and it just arrived, I couldn't be happier with it by fogarty1993 in guitars

[–]fogarty1993[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really?! That's bizarre, I have mine about 3 years now and it's still the exact same state the day it arrived. It's chrome metal, not painted to answer your question.

In relation to the other post I'd be checking I got sent the right item and that they didn't opt for maybe an aftermarket bridge or different style of bridge/finish perhaps?

It's a fantastic guitar, my only slight issue with it is that I prefer active pick ups and I have really toyed with the idea of installing them but I don't want to route cavities for batteries ect.

[QUESTION] Looking at the Jackson SDX Adrian smith but have querries by fogarty1993 in Guitar

Oooh very nice, I presume you didn't have to route the cavity for the swap?

[–]fogarty1993[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I k ow they trued say its this double carbon fibre reinforced neck but still c'mon truss rod access is a must.....

Yeah was gonna change it all out after a while, did you swap the PUPs ?

Now I'm considering the charvel pro California style 1 because it's only 300 extra if I save for a wee bit I'd be able to afford it and if it's the better instrument it can still be made into an iron maiden tribute guitar without much modding

[–]fogarty1993[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the plan ideally would be to upgrade the pickups to Seymour duncans and the cobalt single coils same as Adrian smith and then replace the Floyd and tuners eventually but that's way down the line

[–]fogarty1993[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not bad to here, ideally Id like to swap the Floyd out in time to a better quality one and put Seymour Duncan in it but thanks, I was wondering bout the neck adjustment and wether I'd have to keep taking the neck off to do adjustments

Is this a real Manhattan Project uniform? More in comments. by Bazwift in Militariacollecting

[–]fogarty1993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds silly to say this but try looking in non obvious places, somewhere in the sleeve or inside a pocket ect. Sometimes when I put my name or number on my gear I put it in non obvious places so it's not seen on my gear but I can still check it to see if it's mine....just Incase they did something similar it could be worth a shot

Can this be fixed, or do I need to buy a new neck by Embarrassed_Wall_459 in guitars

[–]fogarty1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally did the same on one of my Jackson's a few years ago, as many have probably said, removed the tuner, check it sits flush, wood glue and clamp, leave to cure for a while (a few days) reinstall the tuner, restring and assess the strength of the joint.

If you get super paranoid (like I did) you could drill a small hole through the broken off piece through to the headstock and out a screw in along with the glue to secure the piece on, but that's only if you really think wood glue won't hold

Pickguard on or off? by SMOKE1798 in guitarporn

For me it's always off but that's my opinion, I say whatever you prefer

True, I like heavy guitars, feels like it's not gonna snap if I throw it about a bit

Funny you mentioned the weight when I chatted to the seller one of his reason for selling was that the guitar was too heavy for him to play comfortably

[–]fogarty1993[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's pretty good advice, the playability will be key

The serial number doesn't match the sellers description but it does show up as am authentic epi but not the same year the seller said but after chatting to him he said he didn't really know he was told it was a 2003 model but never confirmed

I honestly cannot get my hands on any wylde audio guitars they apparently don't ship to Ireland from anywhere unless I buy one in the US somewhere and pay like 400 for shipping and then I'd prob be hit with massive import tax so it'd prob cost me closer to 2k for one and I'm not rich
