El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...

[Sleek]

So, I just got an interesting amp.

Randall RM100 MTS like this one:



It's one of their modular pre-amp models...right now this one has a Vox module, a JTM45 module and a Dan Donnegan 1086, which is just kind of a hot-rodded marshall kind of thing.

It's kind of fun, and I can't wait to start getting some of the cool, custom made modules that are out there...everything from recreations of Tweed Twins to Vampowers to a module specifically designed to be like Randy Rhoads' amp.

SHOULD BE FUN.

[Mojo]

I"ve been wondering about those Randalls. Some of the modded stuff sounds really cool.

[Midwestmetalgod]

Last purchase was a black BC Rich Mockingbird I found on clearance at GC.

[AndiiChrist]

TS808dx at L&M for $100 off. Liking it better than the TS9 I had years ago.

I've got a buddy who has one of these, in a stack though. I have to admit, the modules sound really good.
Don't forget the Mr. Scary Module!

The Mr. Scary is a fun mod to play but doesn't touch the quality of the modified mods by Salvation and MotorCity- those are an entire level up. That being said, Randall
made some fun mods for Lynch...

[Sleek]

Well.

I'll be in Vegas next weekend doing a gig with Mick Cripps and Billy from Jetboy, and that amp is coming along...so I'll let ya know what the pros nobody has heard from in years think of it

[Mattfig]

AWESOME Sleek! Jetboy! Whoa....I find that to be very cool....Have a good show!

[Mattfig]

My company just finished our first mesa rectifier module....Here's the test clip if you are so inclined...

[poisonheart]

Partcaster: MIM body, new maple neck, Fender locking tuners, 57/62 PUPs, new volume/tone pots, cloth wiring.

Is that an MIM replacement neck? How are those? Did you have to do any leveling and crowning? Nut filing required?

I'm debating between one of those (rosewood) and a Warmoth for my next partscaster.

Are you adding a string tree?

[Tenacious_Dio]

Was killing time in the acoustic room at GC a few weeks back. Picked up a Yamaha FG700S that played and sounded so good, I walked out the door with it. Only $199.

[EddiesCancerTongue]

I think the quality can vary, but I've played some of those that were really nice, too. Especially for the price!

[Mattfig]

My amp company's new Clean preamp...And one fucked up promo...hehe

[Mattfig]

So this comes home Wednesday from Chaisson Custom Guitars in Tampa.....Can't wait....Has BK Rebel Yells installed, locking tuners, basically a full makeover...

[Mattfig]

[eddie lee roth]

Got a brand new G&L Legacy Deluxe Blackburst just like this one from Rawson's Music here in OKC. I'm loving it so far. What's you guys opinion on G&L guitars that have messed around with them especially if any of you have played a Legacy Deluxe? First Guitar with a tremolo arm so that's taking some getting used to although to be honest 99% of the time I'm not even playing with it on there. Only thing I changed was took off the stock G&L tuners and had some Schaller locking tuners installed. Fucker stays in tune like a dream.

[eddie lee roth]

Nobody with any experience with G&L's?

[Triumph]

I've busted my butt for nearly 16 of my 25 years stage experience to be just as good of a backup vocalist as I am a guitar player. My gift...to me. "Look ma, no cords!"

[AndiiChrist]

Black Friday sale- $700. With GForce tuning and Gibson hardcase.

[EddiesCancerTongue]

Sweet deal! Aren't those like $1,200 regular?

[AndiiChrist]

Marked down from $1300 (Canadian $).

[EddiesCancerTongue]

Sweet! How's it sound?

[AndiiChrist]

Gibson 61 humbuckers sound great in it . The feel has it for me though. Got a little more
weight to it than my other LPs (LPJs actually). I don't know what it is about the zero
fret nut, but it feels like sustain for days.
Seems like an upgraded Studio.

[Mojo]

Congrats, AndiiChrist. How do you like the tuners? They're the automatic ones, right?

This piece of fucking awesome will be arriving Wednesday.

Loving the self tuning feature, haven't fucked with alternate tunings yet but makes
it easy getting back in with the press of a button. Ryan Roxie sold me on this system
a couple years ago.
Nice Gretsch, love the Imperial tuner heads!
Sweet Bigsby too!

[Mojo]

I wish they'd make locking tuners with the Imperial heads. Changing strings on a Bigsby without locking tuners sucks.

Wow, that's fucking beautiful.

Explain something about auto-tuners to me though...

When you downtune, generally you have to pull on the string at the 12th fret a bit and then re-check and tune back up a touch to stop from going grossly out of tune mid song.

How do you pull that off if the tuners do all the work? I probably sound like an idiot but it scares me about as much as "self parking cars".

I've never done that. Granted, I don't play in drop D very often, but when I do, I just detune the string, tune it up to D, and have at it. I never tug at the 12th fret, and didn't know I was supposed to. It never goes out of tune, on any of my guitars.

Got this about a month ago - 2014 barely played Ibanez Artist AR720FM Limited Edition.
