    What bands did you see live recently / are waiting to see?

    Saw Haken and Arch Echo last night in Portland. Fun show in a nice and small venue. I had already seen Arch Echo live last year when they opened for Dream Theater in Oakland. During the week, I got drunk and booked a DT ticket for San Jose along with plane tickets.

    Serious question - is this a joke?

    Did an AI bot write this?

    Some guitars are too funny not to post

    “Please pay nearly $2k for my used RG570 that I tried to make look like a JP100.”

    What bands did you see live recently / are waiting to see?

    I saw Lutharo, Gloryhammer, and Alestorm live on Thursday night in Portland. Lutharo and Gloryhammer were fantastic. Both singers absolutely stole the show. Lutharo just got themselves a new fan. I originally bought the ticket to see Alestorm and did not know there would be two opening acts...

    Ibanez 2023 Models ! What would you like to see ?

    Dimarzio pickups as well. You could buy an RG655 for $1200 back when they were being sold. The RG550 Genesis came out when the RG655 was discontinued, so that should be a close comparison for price. You can get an RG550 Genesis for $999, which I don't believe has changed since it came out. So...

    NGD: Ibanez J Custom 7 String

    Congrats. Vintage violin is a delightful finish. Hopefully I will own a VV RG one day.

    Ibanez 2023 Models ! What would you like to see ?

    I bought a used orange one a couple of months ago. I still need to clean it and set it up but it is absolutely gorgeous. I will never tire of the metallic finishes Ibanez use. Even the colours that look bland in the catalogue are eye-popping in real life.

    Ibanez 2023 Models ! What would you like to see ?

    I can see RG3120 and RG3180 (some of the first Prestiges) reissues being a great idea. They would probably wind up as J Customs since Ibanez isn't putting real flamed maple caps on Prestige or lower lines. An RG3120 reissue is something that just NEEDS to happen. Here's one that I owned.

    I hope that second one is made in England!

    NGD: RG2027XL

    The Royal Blue finishes on the RG1570 and RG1527 guitars do a similar thing. The metallic colours that Ibanez used to use are so good.

    Ibanez 2023 Models ! What would you like to see ?

    Hands That means that they would have to figure out a way to top the S5527 and I am not sure that it is possible.

    Ibanez 2023 Models ! What would you like to see ?

    They released the RG655 and RG655M in 2014! It’s exactly what you are describing except it’s an original Edge not a Lo Pro…but the good news is that a Lo Pro should fit in the same cavity

    "Not Worth its own thread" Thread

    I think you should sell it and put the money towards a do-over guitar as your REAL present to yourself. Also, I did a similar thing to you - I finished my last engineering exam and then moved to Oregon for work without even attending my graduation ceremony

    Youtube has become almost unwatchable with too many advertisements interupting content

    I use two adblockers - one is called Adblock Plus and I don’t recall the name of the other. Both are free extensions for Chrome. As for the ads that are in the middle of a video, I just try and steer clear of creators that put that stuff there. I am on YouTube to look for clips for films and TV...

    What game are you playing?

    Downloaded the 2006 Scarface game for my PS2 emulator. Enjoying it so far but I am having some performance issues with the emulator. I had once known how to mess with the settings about 5-6 years ago, but I will have to relearn it. I finished the first mission (escape the mansion) and I’ve...

    Ibanez 2023 Models ! What would you like to see ?

    RGD’s have become interesting to me recently. I have yet to have a chance to try one though. The only one I would consider buying the the plain black one with the Edge Zero. I just don’t want a matte black finish.

    Post your beater rig!

    Used 2002 model year RG1570: - Has powder cosmo hardware which has been pretty durable (unlike cosmo black…) - The previous owner already out a bunch of nicks in it - dark neutral color makes it appropriate for a variety of occasions (unlike my Candy Apple red RG1570, which is way too “loud”) -...

    Post Random Pics of Your 6s.

    The first picture is my 2003 RG1570. I don’t mind it getting beaten up a little since it was like that when I bought it, so that’s the one that leaves my place the most frequently. In the second picture from left to right On the floor: S5527 (2014) trans black 7 string RG1570 (2002) royal...

    My experience with Halo Guitars. The stuff nightmares are made of.

    OP, I am sorry this happened to you! This is why the thought of getting a custom guitar from a smaller outfit terrifies me.
