NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

My straps come in three colours, red, white and blue only $225 usd plus tax, shipping, handling and commissioning.

But I can get them from Muzakthangs for $224.90 - will you price match?

Sure, restringing a floyd isn't too hard, but it's when you need to adjust the balance of the bridge and spring tensions - that's when I go a little cross eyed. I heard a story that Richie Sambora once restrung his guitar on the side of the stage during some concert in the Ukraine (goodness knows wh...

I used to use stainless steel strings ... I could get feedback (start of Foxy Lady, start of Vaseline and something by Bush) just so beautifully with them. They were a bit harsher but I loved 'em.

Second fretters were easier too.

Ah, you guys make me laugh. You're all as patently mad as I am. Pick Elves? That's brilliant. I buy picks in a bag (large red Jazz IIIs) ... they are found in every room of my house, except the guitar room. Getting back to an early post - we wouldn't warranty anything bought from another shop or cou...

I be quite bad at tab, but I will have a go. Essentially, -chuck your index finger on 15th fret high e string (G) BUT barre across to the B string as well. -chuck your ring finger on the 18th fret (this goes over to the B string as well) -chuck your pinky on the 20th fret then all you do is tap the ...

Hi, The price varies per branch as most of the time we use independant guitar techs/luthiers to do guitar work. In ChCh (for example) it's easier and sometimes faster to get our off-site tech to do it. There is only one staff member here that I trust to do a floyd restring/setup and that isn't me - ...

Yep, I am happily sold on Planet Waves cables as well. I have heard (and some of the staff here agree) that they always break down, but I think when we checked once across the land, we had something like 1000 sales and 22 returns ... it was something like that. I played with one 20ft PW Classic cabl...

lol ... thanks.

if you can bend and fingertap, you can play that solo. it's actually remarkably easy. I taught it to a 12 yr old yesterday. the lil snot had it cleaner than me in about 10mins.

last time i teach him anything

Not Keef formerly of the Hamilton Rockshop? And Kaizer Soze?

hey there, thanks for that.

i don't really know that they'd call themselves. i referred to it as industrialist german electronica ... i think they were aiming for a nightwish, lacuna coil, within temptation sort of thing.

Since Ironbird shared, thought I might too. The band is a german band that broke up a couple of years back beacuse they couldn't get signed. I liked one of the songs and suggested that it needed a hotter guitar line and a solo that smoked, so I added one and sent it back to them. Everyone in the ban...

Yup, that's like doing studio monitor demos using MP3s ...

you know if we dropped the n out of tone suck ... they board may get banned, so everyone be very careful. :) I had the UC100 Behringer Chorus pedal and it did the job just fine for me. I didn't like the lack of travel on the HellBabe Wah, I just couldn't get used to even after two sets. I went back ...

Lorraine Barry is an industry back-scene stalwart for many years. She's also Dave Dobbyn's agent. She's a pretty neat woman and very handy to have her on your side if you are an up and coming band. You probably haven't heard of her because she's usually a behind-the-scenes person.
