I think I'm going to skip the 99. I'm going to get a used Variax, take out the guts, and put it in my Fender Roland Ready Strat. With that, my GR-33, and...
Regarding the pricing of the VG-99... Yes it is expensive, and as a hobbyist I'm quite content to stick to my VG-88 and other older gear (GR-30, GI-10) - I...
I'm hip to that, too. I'm digging the whole outlook. I like to buy less expensive guitars so that I won't feel bad about modifying them, but I also dig...
I can understand how you might feel that way at a casual glance, but you really should do your research before making that kind of sweeping generalization....
Amen to all of that! It hurts a lot less when the soldering iron slips on the Chinese Strat copy... ...it also is AMAZING how sometimes we can get quite...
What I was thinking about, actually, as I drifted off to sleep last night: Combine an acoustic guitar and a kalimba [aka mbira, or thumb piano], with the metal...
This doesn't really apply to all the neat and esoteric things you guys are talking about, but I'm going to attempt to combine my Fender Roland Ready Strat w/ a...

That sounds like it'd be fun to fart around with on a Saturday afternoon, but since I have a VG-88, I wouldn't take one home even for free [well, maybe then]....
BTW, I thought I saw someone complaining of how hard it is to find doubleneck guitars in the UK... I saw an Epiphone version of the famous Gibson SG doubleneck...

Not asking, want to share. Long story short, I hard mounted the GK2 on to a tongue depressor (any long, thin piece of wood will suffice) with short 3/32...
Sounds clever. Thanks for sharing that! You reminded me that pens can be raided for their springs -- I appreciate the tip. --moonie ... -- Never argue with a...

I know some of you are interested in hearing how the VG-99 performs as a MIDI converter. Like me, some of you might want to know if it can replace the one...
