  1. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKJQ5zqJYA4yaZP1Y522CDg/videos try these for grins and giggles these will make Troglys look like a Hollywood production.
  2. Still lurking about.. and I post when I see something that riles me up enough
  3. I've had conversations with both Floyd Rose and J.T. Riboloff ( ex-Gibson engineer who collaborated on designs for the FR guitars with Speed loaders, and worked with FR himself) and I have been installing FRs on guitars since 1979 and I spent the last 6 years making Franky Reproductions for Judah Guitars. I earned the nickname Dr Floyd back in the early 80s. because I could make any FR equipped guitars sit up and bark... still can and do it nearly everyday in my shop. The FR Vibrato Bridge was NOT "designed" for any 1 gauge of string period. and that should be plainly obvious regardless of what lie some 14 year old posted on the internet. they were designed to be used with just about any string out there, which is why they have SO MANY adjustments on them and also why so many people get them all screwed up. I will say that they have "refined" the design over the last 40 years, and how they started out, is not how they are today. and that certain models (Specials) are made from too soft and inexpensive metals with equally too soft coatings and should never be allowed on a decent guitar. buying one is only buying a future headache. Not all Floyds are created equal. and don't get me started on the "licensed by" versions.. most of them are pure garbage! that said.. I will state that IF your using an EVH D-tuna, the Low "E" seems to work best if its a 46. which is not to say that a 42 doesn't work.. it just tends to be a bit outside the sweet spot of the D-tuna's tuning range. also a lot of folks don't seem to know that a D-tuna CAN'T be used in a full floating mode.
  4. ALL of them... including every hand built custom I've ever made. its over 6000 guitars.... seriously, NOT even kidding... and don't even ask about the Amps or Pedals.... When i think of all the money that I've lost.... (shudders) oh well, it was a fun ride!
  5. ya know, there is reason why the Fender BASSman amp is called the holy grail of GUITAR amps. 410 tweed , blackface and silverface versions.. So ya got that whole idea "bass" ackwards
  6. Gary Moore regularly used EVM 12L speakers in is Marshall 412 cabs. Claimed that was where some of his tone came from. I can confirm that its a good speaker choice for guitar
