NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Cool, we get spend Stevo's cash...vicarious GAS. Well, $500 does buy a lot of amp nowadays. Personally I 'd go for something simple with a really nice clean sound. That way you can do anything you want to it with pedals and pre-amps etc and get a good sound. I played an Ashton at Shearers in Hamilto...

OK, some time ago I bought a Strat off of our beleagured, I mean beloved, founder and Zen God, BG. It is a 1996 Chinese bass wood 50th Anniversery Strat, with simply one of the best necks I've played - ever. I hated the average 3 tone burst so decided to make a relic out of it after I scored some vi...

you serious philip...can you grab me a Gretsch next time you make a purchase from the states - many thanks

Matchless - been around for some time. Yep - hand wired Class A stuff. AC30 rip off is fab. Do you know pathetic our choice of gear is in New Zealand. I looked up boutique amplifiers via google etc and in the States there is simply truckloads of custom amp builders making the coolest looking (and I'...

On the older Mini's the sound was indeed, more mini than a full size h/b. I personally love their sound - more P-90 feel to them. Modern ones though can sound like the full h/b - just in a smaller form factor. Early 60's N/Reverse Firebird with three mini's...mmm

What's the body made of? Looks dark like Mahog on the outside edges but light like Maple in the routs...

Dr Rog, try winding your over drive gain back a few notches, and the pedal volume up a few notches. Getting a clean cut through using overdrive (via pedals) can take a bit of tweaking to get right. If the signal is too saturated (driven) the signal will be compressed to buggery, givign a flat, lifel...

Nice Canadian (assembled in the States too) gats. Deserve to be far more popular than they are (like most of us) just by their playability and sensible sound options...tried to buy one off TradeMe bout 6 mths back but missed out. They do a blimmin nice P-90 Mahog bodied PRS killer...well, maimer...o...

Thanks for the review - how is Scott's vocals sounding these days? He used to do a fair bit of crooning on the last few STP albums, but this sounds pretty hardcore (heard the singles)...cheers

Actually, Ibanez Talman's are made from MDF, and they actually ring quite nicely. Hardboard flakes real bad and can't imagine why epi would do such a shocking thing by topping an LP with it - LP himself must be turing in his grave (is he dead?) Tempted to take a wood file to my ebony Les Paul to mak...

Mmm, she's quite hot....shame about the hard boardtop Epi. Ah well, that's why one buys OTT $ US of Hackin A gats.

Or some liqued nitro...im maybe 20 seconds...or the freezer for like 3 weeks...with Gibbo's got to cut off the neck tho - bugger

Damn my spelling is shocking...

I had to vote ""up my arse", but only on the basis that you have to go to anx-ray clinic and tell them you have pains in your abdomen and require an x-ray...basivcally what they did on Jackass...in keeping with the busted up theme, a really well worn Les Paul looks the bix as well...b...

No spotties, and only the DJ's and hangers on...acoustics held up OK with some serious string bending going on. I have a Maton EC so it's built like a tank. We are getting some air play for our song Crash - I think e-radio are playing it in the States too, and it's on their top 100 or something. Had...
