  1. Also! You need to do something about the pup selector switch. If your's is down on the bottom horn like the one in the picture , you might want to think about the advantages of moving it to some plce easier to reach
  2. PLEASE !!!!!! NOT JUST FOR ME BUT FOR YOURSELF .... fit a Floyd mk1
  3. It's when you find yourself not paying attention to word your Mother-in-law is saying because you can't distract yourself from the fact that she has a 6foot X 4foot Kitchen table with a 2 inch thick Sycamore top.................nice!!!!
  4. Jeez!!!!! fron that basic shape shown in the photo's you could just about build anything you want
  5. Of Course on swirled pink and tripple neck I jest!...........but I play a modified explorer with Floyd, Paf Pro in neck and Evo in bridge with top 4 frets scalloped and it may be a little bit beat up but it sounds like an angel
  6. Not just PINK Matt ....... but swirled pink.........and GREEN!
  7. An explorer Jem eh ?????? You could be on to something
  8. Recipe for a Killer Explorer:- Strip it! Sand it! Stain it! Route it and fit a floyd ! Fit locking nut! Varnish with clear coat! Put a pair a Dimarzio's in there (you choose which) There you have it! Not too much money spent and a killer guitar as a result!!!
  9. Perhaps you're right, I'm starting to doubt wether I've got all this the correct way round now . Do any of you guys use a similar set up for recording and coud you give me some "golden rules" perhaps. Oh..... and if you belive in guitar karma then I hope anyone who replies to this finds a fantastic new riff or melody
  10. YEAH !!! I'ts plugged in the right socket and I've adjusted just about every level I can possibly find on my computer but still no luck
  11. OK, here's my problam. I have a fairly good PC and a copy of ACID PRO 4.0 installed. I want to record some song ideas, BUT when I plug my Digitech straight into my soundcard (I'ts one of those all in one motherboard type thing) and use the sound recorder function on Acid it comes through extremely distorted. I've tried adjusting all the levels on both the RP200 and in Acid and it still doesn't work (by the way it's not just the pedal that comes through like this, I've tried miking up my amp and had the same results ) Can anybody help me as I'm in fear of loosing the feel of the current songs. I've got the all noted down but as I'm sure you'll apprieciate it's not the same as passing a CD demo to the rest of the band. PLEASE HELP as last week when I tried again ( I was kidding myself that it would all be fine if I left it for a while ) it damn near resulted with my computer going out of the window, put me in a terribe mood thus causing an argument with my wife!!
  12. Next time you go out please check if they sell/ship via web as I really don't think I've ever seen a better price than that!
  13. Use a chemical stripper if your gonna stain as a finish. DON'T even go near her with a power sander as even the most careful of us are always left with those pesky sandinder marks. And YES Ibanez do use a sealer coat (sometimes you find filler as well ) but a decent chem stripper should tear right through that. Sorry can't advise on a brand as I live in the UK.
  14. I admit it's a pretty far out approach, but I've found tons of different ways of looking at what i play and how I play it through reading him. I'm certainly not trying to "preach Vai" but I am a believer!
  15. IS IT POSSIBLE ????? Has anyone read the 30 hour workout article by Steve Vai in Aprils Guitar World and also read his Alien Love Secrets section on vai.com. Could S.V. be the guitar players version of Yoda?
  16. YOU'RE THINKING OF USING THIS LIVE BEFORE TESTING IT THROUGH YOU"RE LIVE RIG???????? Dude you could be in for a shock!!!!!!! First things first: It's a very cool guitar and you will feel the benefits of putting a floyd on it (I'ts a set up I use myself Expo + Floyd = Killer Guitar). BUT..... If you try turning up at a gig and putting it straight through your live rig without at least a once through of the set you may find that the plywood body coupled with cheap pups could squeel like a pig! Please try it at a rehearsal first or at least at sound check. You might be glad you did. Anyway........ plywood, alder,mahogany, who cares? Respect for not letting an explorer die!
  17. If it was done by a person then well done for making that one but PLEASE DON'T make another!
  18. I would also like a "How to build your own space rocket tutorial" and "How to gain money from complete strangers tips" But I'll settle for photos of the fastest necks on the planet!
  19. Sorry Folks, No pics as yet (I'll soon have the use of my wifes new digital camera) I'll let you all have a butchers as soon as poss!!
  20. "Do you guys in the State"????? Sorry about the crappy typo !! I did mean the whole of the and and anyone other Countries who'd like to comment. Cheers
