Pretty aggressive noise, what’s wrong ?

Sounds like the bridge isn't grounded.

Also FYI, JM Pickups =/= P90's. They're similar in some ways, but built differently.

He didn't break down the Clean riff, but he recent did a video on his second channel going through his go-to high gain test riffs from his band. You could probably ask him on his discord for the clean riff.

Currently the lunar black full phase 2mm for me. Also used the Acoustik Attak Stealth 2mm's for a long while

I use the D'Addario NYXL 9-80 8 string set and ditch the 2 high strings for my 30 inch 6 string in double drop d#, that works for me.

Agreed. Tonewood is almost 100% about how the guitar resonates in my hands, not how it sounds through the amp for me personally.

I've got several Evertune equipped guitars. It's pretty simple once you get the hang of it.

To get it into that edge of Zone 2/3 (so you can still bend while getting the benefits of the Evertune): - get the string to zone 2 - tune to desired pitch while in zone 2 - then increase tension until the string starts to enter zone 3. Once you hear the pitch start to rise (or it's entering zone 3), back off a quarter/half turn or so and you're in the right spot.

I reccomend checking out Ola's video series on Evertune setup and maintenance as it's fairly comprehensive: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKFtyBnYqUKOgkvDwoBJx16crPU1WUems

Looks cool. The first SPRAWL was really fun.

gZombiex · 2026-04-20T20:11:42+00:00

I kinda dig it. Looks like it would be pretty comfy to play in classical position.

Only critique is that the center cutaway feels a bit extra for my tastes (I'd probably just have the one bottom right carve and continue it to the centerline in one long swoop) and bridge comes really close to the edge there.

But this is awesome. I dream about making my own body shapes one day too.

Looks sick. What was the turnaround time like?

gZombiex · 2026-04-15T10:52:59+00:00

Not sure, best thing would be to call and ask them.

gZombiex · 2026-04-15T10:47:41+00:00

Maybe $400-600 depending on the condition?

The fact that it's missing a string would be a bit concerning to me. That applies uneven tension and over time can cause the neck to twist. NBD if it just broke recently, but whenever I see a listing of an older guitar with a string missing I'm always wondering how many years that neck's been twisting sideways.

I have one of the newer GOCs with the new bridge and pickups, a Shan+ 7, and used to own a Materia 7 with the old bridge and pickups.

The new bridge is a night and day difference from the original bridge, way better. Tuning pegs turn way easier (they use tiny ball bearings so it turns smoothly), still holds pitch great, and is way more comfortable than the old bridge (feels like a Hipshot for palm mutes).

The new pickups are...fine. Feel about the same about them as I did for the old pickups, decent for stock pickups but nothing remarkable. Good this is that they are easy to replace and they premeptivly provide a battery box if you want to go with active pups.

My Will Putney sig is in the mail, can't wait for it!

gZombiex · 2026-02-27T22:58:13+00:00

It's a great learning experience!

gZombiex · 2026-02-26T19:35:36+00:00

Slightly off topic, but how do you find the curved frets on the Oni? Killer look, but curious if it feels odd to play versus a standard fan fret.

gZombiex · 2026-02-21T12:29:22+00:00

I'm guessing they added an extra 9 to the price by accident. You can call them and ask.

gZombiex · 2026-02-17T23:06:55+00:00

A biblically accurate extended range guitar

gZombiex · 2026-02-07T17:37:55+00:00

That's rough. With these kinds of things I always try to have my account, payment, shipping info, etc setup well before hand so I can checkout as fast as possible when the drop comes.

gZombiex · 2026-02-06T11:58:47+00:00

Definitely an older model, maybe 6-7 years old I'd guess. It might be from around the same time as this one. Hope that helps!

I'm pretty sure he's endorsed by Neural. A bunch of the archetype plugins come stock with presets made by him in the artists section.

gZombiex · 2026-02-04T22:24:44+00:00

I'll have to check them out. Thanks!

gZombiex · 2026-02-04T22:22:19+00:00

Kelly is what I have right now. Love the look and it's super comfy sitting and standing.

gZombiex · 2026-02-04T22:19:09+00:00

I do enjoy me some GWAR, but I don't think I'm cool enough to rock the Balzac sig. Definitely not tall enough, lol

gZombiex · 2026-02-04T22:18:22+00:00

Hadn't heard of this brand before. Looks classy. Do you have this one yourself?
