Wow, all those were pretty awesome guitars. Roll dice.

Those are pretty cool looking, but I'm willing to bet that they don't look as cool in person. Also willing to bet that they're not worth the cost. It would cost a ton to make something like that. Though this thing turned out okay...

Meh. I see both sides, I like being able to dick around and customize everything. Not only with my guitar gear but with all my toys. That being said I also love the appeal of just being able to plug in and play. I think there's room for and a need for both options in music.

Yeah I think you're right. Use the Axe II for most things, but still keep a 5150 handy if you want to play with a real amp.

Post the video of you playing these things.

Isn't getting used to the movement the same thing as building finger strength? I also think that's what products are for, just building muscle memory.

Ty Tabor and Tosin Abasi also use Axe-FX exclusively too.

I mean at that point I'd just have to play them for a while. Is that PRS a private stock? PRS' private stock guitars are downright beautiful. Their finishes and flamed woods are gorgeous. Something like this: http://www.prsguitars.com/privatestock/gallery/1366.php ? I don't quite like the...

Devin Townsend and Periphery it exclusively. Other artists like Steve Vai, Chris Broderick, John Petrucci, and even Bela Fleck use it quite a lot in their rigs. I mean overrated and overpriced are two different things, it's like 3K to get it with the footswitch. For that type of cash you can...

On a Gibson Les Paul the neck pick up says "rhythm" and the bridge says "treble," now I understand when Gibsons were made most rhythms were cleaner sounds that distorted by "turning up." That being said, I can't think of many players now that play rhythm on the beck pick up unless it's a...

Wow, didn't know that Jet City's had this much gain. I played a Bolt the other day, also had a surprising amount of gain for such an amp. Great sound, glad to hear it.

Hmmmm...I recall a Paul Gilbert video saying that the reason your first two fingers are so fast and adept to playing is because they're strong and your third and fourth fingers don't have the same strength. I'm not saying I'm right and you're wrong but with my pinkie especially I notice that...

My legato technique isn't the best, I'm pretty sure it's because my fingers aren't strong enough to pull off a note. Stuff like this has helped out, at least in my experience it did.

Is that just the gain from the amp or is that a distortion pedal on the clean channel?

Awesome stuff, I bet if the guy you traded it to heard this he'd probably regret doing that.
