Stachler Says "I really like the strats but I have small hands so im worried about buying one. All of the standards I have seen have the C neck.

Plus Cobain liked them. Thanks." View Response

Curious About Effects Chain - July 16th, 2009 (4 minutes, 46 seconds)

Sheldon_31 asked "Dear to whoever it concerns, I have been really looking into running an effects chain, but i have no idea what stuff to use on it so far i've decided to use a boss overdrive pedal and either Kirk Hammet's signature cry baby or the Dimebag cry baby from hell. I am mainly interested in a nice melodic metal sound possibly just a really filthy textured sound nice and crisp which would be really easy to pinch harmonic on. So any suggestions on what i should use????" View Response
