Hi Tyrone

Four years - 10 guitars, four amps and 9 effects. Do you by any chance suffer from the odd bout of GAS (Gear/Guitar Acquisition Syndrome)? ? Don't worry, You'll fit right in.

Images are easy:

tyrone-govender

bwahahaha... clearly.. from wot i have read and checked out ur book.. that may well be the
case.. i hope to move to migrate to vomit soon.. cept my knowledge is somewhat limited at
this point..

its too tricky and i cant find any decent tutorials or info online anywhere.. n i was forced to
take it in to get setup.. u guys have any goo tutorials on how to set up a floyd rose,specically

Don't rush it, you'll get there. Trust me. Early stages are when you start lusting after recording gear with names like Neumann, Avalon, SSL, etc..

I never bothered writing one, 'cos there is already a wonderful guide over at Jemsite:

tyrone-govender

lawl there is def no rush.. i just know that it will get to that stage at some
point.. i am becoming rather curious with the stuff that hugh manson is doing
with the chaos pads built into the guitars, matthew bellamy (Muse) uses his guitars
and they are absolutly fasinating...

Alan thanx man.. this is an awesome tutorial.. dis is wot i needed b4 i lost
two string.. wud hav been gud if googles sent this site my way wen i was
doing my research on it... thnx again
