string

Hi guys, I was wondering: do any of you know of any alternatives to those string ferrules one would install in the back of a string-through body guitar? Any that do not require metal (can you use wood?)? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

The Kahler tremolo has always fascinated me for two major reasons. One- I like the idea of a smoother trem feel over the Floyd's rather stiff action; and two- the fact that the Kahler is retro-fittable to almost any guitar I might want to buy means I (potentially) won't have to shop around...

Hey guys Im using a tuning that needs a high GH (2 tones higher than the high standard E) and I live in a smallish town in Australia. Im having problems finding any 006 or 007 guage strings (Im using said tuning on a baritone and the lightest string I can find in a shop is 008, which snapped...

Hey, fellow GAS-masters, look what Smitty just picked up! I was skimming around on the bay, putting my Lakewood up for sale, and this little dragon caught my eye. I wasn't really in the market for another 8 string....nor am I a huge fan of Carvin, (nothing against them quality-wise, just not...

The day has finally arrived. My brand new Ibanez RG2228ABK is in my possession, and I couldn't be more than happy. It's been over a year's culmination of research, reviews, and dedicated practice, to lead me to this decision. I view this guitar as the vessel connecting my past 10 years of...

What is the best string gauge for Drop B tuning on a 25.5" scale guitar? 6 strings.

I am covering icarus lives for my year 12 HSC and i want to know what string gauge i should get for this tuning. I don't know alot about string gauges and i am very protective of my guitar so i just don't want to damage anything. Thanks in advance SSO :yesway:

Hi there! I began building an 8 string guitar a year ago since I can't afford a good quaility one, and since it seems that this forum is full of people who know well about this subject, I decieded to post some pictures of its current state to get some advice in what's left of the process...

I would call myself a pretty experienced bassist. I have been playing for six or seven years, but I have never broken a bass string before (until now). It wan't a huge snap, but the string lost tension and started unwinding or something. Its the low B string (130?) and at the time it was tuned...

I own an 8 string guitar which I tune E B E A D G B E, and sometimes E B E B E F# B E, If I had a 6 string bass, with thick enough strings, would I be able to maintain the octave ratio of tuning it to E B E A D G, an octave lower than the 8 string guitar is tuned? Basically I'm just...

I recently purchased an Agile Interceptor 725. It's amazing and feels/sounds great. I had a tune up on it, including an intonation, etc. I was having an issue prior to where dipping the floyd rose would dampen the lower strings significantly more than say the G string. In my long experience with...

Hi all i am a floyd user of 7 years so i understand thoroughly the physics involved with trems. I have however recently blocked my trem fully. Trem stopper, strings clamped down, wood behind the block measured to fit. I have noticed still, that if i pluck my high E for instance, then bend...

Hi all i always used 9-46+62 strings on my Jackson 26.5" scale 7 string guitar. (Standard tuning) I just started using 10-46+64 strings instead. Is the 64 too big? Im using it in standard tuning, but everywhere i look people seem to use 59 and 60 gauge etc for their low B. Am i just...

I'm buying a 7 string in a month or two. It's an older Ibanez Japanese RG model, with SD Blackouts in the neck/bridge and one volume. This is going to sound like a dumb question, but what should I expect? :lol:

Hi folks. I'd like to get at least a new bridge pickup for my main 7 string and I'd love a Bare Knuckle. I'm really interested in the Aftermath but feel free to put up offers. If I can't find an Aftermath then I'll probably just go with something else because I can't afford $300 worth of...

I need some advice here... I´m currently choosing between three guitars and I really don´t know which one to go with. For the moment I´ve got a Schecter Damien Elite 6 which I´m very pleased with, but interested in buying a 7-string. Those are the guitars I´m choosing between: 1. Schecter...

So I just put a nice, fat 80 on my Ibanez for some G# tuning and noticed, that when I play the string open, it has some sort of rattle to it. I can't even make out the location, but it's not your common fret buzzing. Any help? When I play it fretted, the sound is gone. Thanks in advance
