    • hi explore
      i'm using a szr 520 ibanez guitar
      does the type of p/ups play a role too?
      • hey guys
        i'm just wondering if there is a specific way to use your p/ups when you are playing
        i find it sometimes better to use the neck p/up for pinch harmonics etc
        is there a standard or is it something i got to work out on my own?

        • i saw one on gumtree.co.za have alook in there,i'm not shure the exact model etc
          • go and have a look on the internet at;gumtree.co.za i saw a few teles there with amps etc
            there is a ephiphone les paul too for R2500 and a few others
            • thanks everybody this is what makes this forum
              cool,i'm going to check out both these guitars
              and buy one and then i'l post a photo(don't really know how to but will try) and i'l write a little review about it. any music shops in jo/burg
              exept marshall music because thats the only one i know and deal with.anybody knows a better plays to shop please shoot me. thanks
              by the way i tried to put my real name on here
              but it was rejecting it all the time!
              • thanks
                i read a review about these guitars and all of
                them were good,although some of them mentioned the feedback problem.would this guitar be good for solos with distortion etc.
                i'm going on leave end june and i think i'm going
                to shop around and see where to get a good price on one of these.i mainly play church stuff
                but our church is very alive especially with the youth and i think this guitar would do the trick
                when this guitar is just played clean does it have a nice accoustic sound?
                • ok ok no hard feelings just as long as you enjoy what you talk about
                  how about a nice van with a built in stack when you open the doors and jump out everybody starts to scream and headbang, like one they built on pimp my ride!!
                  • guys i am sure you would find a nice car forum if you look for it
                    aint thi a guitar forum???????????? just checking!!!!

                    • tell me somebody,i would like to know what these guitars are like
                      do they have a nice acoustic sound and can you play rock music on them too
                      i would like to know what the difference is between ag 75 and the af 75 or if anybody
                      knows this guitars which one would be a good buy??
                      • Alan thanks for that article and yes it explains a lot for me thanks
                        i'll go tonight and sit down and do some settings only
                        so i'll coment next time i log in.i went to this gig and saw one guy playing
                        with a ibanez artcore not sure which exact model but i would like some comments
                        on these guitars please,it is not the big one this one seems a little smaller (body)
                        thanks
                        • bones your asking me a question that i don't
                          know alot about (fet or bufferd) and if you talk
                          about cables is there a certain price tag on good cables or specific name cables that are
                          good quality?
                          the bypass sound is a lot softer then with the fx turned on so i'll just check into my settings
                          which compressor would you guys recommend?
                          thanks for all the info ?
                          • hi guys
                            i've seen that some of you guys talked about cort guitars and recommended some
                            i went on the net and checked out some of the corts (electric)
                            the one that neil sasa plays on looks cool but theres no neck string locks on etc
                            i personally thought the EVL-Z6 or k6 looks cool,although i haven't been in a shop and
                            tried one out i watched on you tube some vids and it sounds cool
                            so shoot me please,thanks
                            • hi guys
                              i only plugged in the guitar and it sounded a lot better and clean
                              i think it is some of my settings on the pedal i get a little frustrated
                              sometimes ,but i know it take some time to get the right settings
                              what effect causes the guitar to hold a note longer or is it the pickups or
                              wood that causes this?
                              bones thanks for the advice i've try that too,so i think the secret lies in
                              the pedal.maybe its time to move to stompboxes?
                              • thanks
                                i think i'm going to learn a lot in a small time
                                here,so thanks again
                                • riaan
                                  you mentioned intonation and going out of tune
                                  (sorry for barking in) what is the main reasons
                                  for that either than a not having string locks
                                  and a floating bridge ?
                                  • ok Alan
                                    i think it's maybe the settings on the pedal,but i'l go and check everything that you have mentioned .then i could give better feedback
                                    and it would be easier to solve the problem
                                    thanks
                                    • hi guys
                                      first of all i'm using a laney VC 30 212 amp with valves and a ME 50 BOSS
                                      multi effects pedal.the axe is a cort (the one with the red cross on the headstock
                                      with the function to use a single bridge or neck pickup.
                                      i've set the volume knob to only a quarter open on the pedal and my amp on 2
                                      if i press the foot volume on the pedal to about 3/4 the sound do not come out
                                      clean (when i use distortion effect) is it the guitar or the pedal or the amp.
                                      or is it me thats just stupid with the settings because it sound like a hi fi speaker
                                      that cannot take the volume.please if anyone could give some advice
                                      thanks
