    Question for Chris about finding the right guitar

    Thanks! Actually, the RGT320Q caught my eye, but it's quite pricey. http://www.ibanez.com/eg/guitar.aspx?m=RGT320Q Does anybody know of any earlier Ibanez models that had similar features (i.e. neck thru, mahogany wings)?

    Question for Chris about finding the right guitar

    Your input is appreciated, NevermoreMan90. I'm going to try to track down that model to try out. I've done a bit of research on the different Ibanez necks in the last few days and have narrowed it down considerably. I still have to decide between a Vigier and an Ibanez, they're both different...

    Question for Chris about finding the right guitar

    But there's too damned many! I need to narrow it down significantly. I know some models use the same neck type, so I'll probably have to start there. As for your first post, you're talking more about tone whereas I was talking more about the playability and feel of the neck vs. other guitars...

    Question for Chris about finding the right guitar

    Thanks for your responses, Chris and everyone. Wow, I guess the only thing we completely agree on is thin necks. I'm still going to go with a flat radius because I think that's the main reason that Vigier was so easy to play, as the action was very low. I think I'm going to try out...

    Question for Chris about finding the right guitar

    What's funny is that I've concentrated so hard on keeping my picking hand relaxed (and I have a technique where I am able to pick extremely fast while keeping my arm completely relaxed) that I've neglected my fretting hand. When I slow down, the pain subsides for the most part, so it's hard to...

    This question is not restricted to just Chris, I just wanted to direct the question to him so he knows I'm asking for his input, everybody is welcome to jump in with their input, especially if you have a similiar interest. Also, the more guitars you've played, the more valuable your input will...

    Question to Chris

    Beta blockers are very commonly used by classical musicians to reduce performance anxiety, but it should be noted that it is a drug, and like all drugs, beta blockers can be potentially dangerous. I asked my doctor about them before and right off the bat he refused to prescribe them to me...

    Obsolete Guitar Sound

    Nope, not Soldano. Some Russian guy I think. I'm pretty sure Mark Cameron (amp modder that works for Bogner) knows who it is and may even know the mod. The amp and guitar sound on Demanufacture and Obsolete are the same, the only difference is in the way it was recorded: guitars on...

    Which Shure 57?

    Thanks, I don't have access to a Beta 57 without buying one, but I've used a friends sm57 extensively, and I have a 58 as well. Is there any danger with buying a used 57?

    Which Shure 57?

    No, by old and new I actually DID mean an older version of the 57 or the newer version. I said this because I've heard some people say that there's an older model (still a 57, but came out during specific years and I don't remember which) that sounds better. Is there a holy grail of 57's, or...
