Yeah. Dude's a beast. And he also writes tasty jams! I had the chance to play with him at the 100GuitarsFromHel event, he was the head of our "section" and he's also extremely approachable. Nothing like those 80's guitars hero that behaved like their were Gods.

Used to think the same, but I just parted ways with my 2007 ESP Horizon FR-II (sold for twice the value I bought it, 7 years after I bought it lol). Instead, I got myself my first Ibanez. An Ibanez Prestige RGD2120z mounted with DiMarzio Titans. And this guitar is a beast. Maybe I had gotten too...

I'll be honest. Never ever liked the greeny. So that's not a big loss. And even if it's Laiho's, I wouldn't spend 10k for this one...

Damn, I love the red look of that one. It'd look great on my white guitar. Is there any way to know if it's a latching switch?

Well, I was thinking about a standard kill switch, but then when browsing on various guitar forums for clues/advises, I came across a comment saying that the guitarists in Avatar had done that. So I checked and they actually used "foot buttons" on their guitars. And while I am no fan of the...

Thanks, I think I'll try first on one of my "shittier" LTD lying around. It has only 1 pick-up and 1 volume knob. The idea would be to replace it with the sort of switch you'd find on a pedal (a foot switch maybe?) to act as an on/off switch. Idea, something like the ones below (I was not...

Oh, and just another quick question. I cannot seem to find a "On/Off" switch or button anywhere. Anyone knows what those can be?

Hi, Just wondering if you have any guitar techs on the forum, or anyone with the skills/knowledge to help me out. I just came across an article of someone saying they replaced the volume and tone knobs on their guitar by a on/off button and a kill switch. They justify this choice as being...

Why do people go look for these old topics 20 years later? O_o

Merry Christmas to you all indeed.

Yeah, 100%.

Oh, right, we are also waiting for the next COBTV! This went completely out of my mind!

Considering how long we've been collectively asking for a new live DVD, this is godsend. As for a cover album, that would be great, but I do not recall hearing about it and I would be surprised if they had enough new material to publish something nice. Although it would be a nice opportunity to...

There was a projet to tab it out. Unfortunately, this was never done. You can easily figure out all of the rhythm guitar from the videos Laiho posted online for us to learn the parts. Sadly, you'll have to learn the different solos by ear.

One of my favorite COB track (or should I say "Inearthed track"?). I listened far too many times to the amateur remastered version on Youtube and I too seriously hope they end up releasing this re-recording.
