Russ that kit looks good, GFS has kits also.  If you look at Jx3's topic I put a bounch of links in it for that company.  Why not find a pawn shop or buy that copy on amazon and just tweak it?  ther is this option also  at Rondo music : http://www.rondomusic.com/shadowcsb.html
if you just want a guitar to customize.  Hope this helps

Z that CSI segment was so lame!! bunch of paid models and wannabe's  they should have let some real SABBATH fans in there.  "OOh Im gonna pretend to get off on this with my diamonds and pearls on!" ohhh yea Im a rocker...  BLAAAAAAH GAG CHOKE!   You should see the comments on yYT for that segment.  You can tell the band was not even into it that much.

@ Jerome We can only dream of a career that they have had.  One nice note in the liners form Ozzy to Jack.  For being the man I wish I could have been.  I though that was pretty touching.

FINALLY bought the 13 CD from Black Sabbath.  Opinion? ITS DEFINATLY SABBATH!!! Do I hear muical touch backs to classics, you bet.  Here is my take on it and No I have not gone surfing to see what others have said.

1. End of the beginning  / Black Sabbath
2. God is Dead? / Nothing standing out for me. Pretty new sounding.
3. Loner / N.I.B
4. Zeitgeist / Planet Carivan
5. Age of reason / musically reminds me  more of Dio era Songs.
6. Live forever / reminds me of Dehumanizer stuff (again w/ Dio)
7. Damaged Soul / Just good doomy blues with early harmonica touches
8. Dear Father / Hmmmmm?? not sure what to think.

Overall, eight tracks for 10 bucks not bad price wise. Tracks 1,3,4 are my favorite as they pull from such great songs. Was hoping for a few more tracks though being as they have so much room on a cd.

Welcome!!. As all have said this is a great site. I have become very good friends with a lot of the members here.  No one has mentioned it yet so I will say if your fimiliar with Skype, we sometimes have virtural campfire Jams.  Its great fun and you really get to know people.  As also has been said, we all have a wide spectrum of musical taste here.  I am the predominant metal head, but I love many other styles. ONly problem is I end up taking Simon and Garfunkel and throwing in some distortion and palm mutes! 
ONE AGAIN, WELCOME TO A GREAT FAMILY.

Pete, ever since I have been keeping a large bowl of water right near my heating intake (its on the floor level) I have not had an issue in my guitar room. If the room is dry, the water evaporates  to it.  I do not have to worry about a humidifier getting mist all over my stuff either.

I'll have to check this out.  My intake is on the ceiling however.

Then sit a large bowl of water in a corner. if the room is dry, it will get H2O from the easiest place to find it. an open bowl is much better tahn sucking it out of wood.

That is a great deal.  I have 5 of the wooden Dean Markley ones in my guitar/man room.  May need to pick on up for my son though.

I have an uncomfortable  desk chair with arms, and a desk chair with no arms.  both have a chunk of comfort foam on them. I put it in a old tshirt for a case.  my wife keeps saying get rid of one chair.  but I have finally won that fight!  I want a 3ft bar stool like this.  here is a good price for 2: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/lifestyl … ool-2-pack

I think after reading about all the people here who have trouble with barr chords I am very glad to have started on a electric playing heavy metal.   Its primarily all barr chords.  I learned the "cowboy chords" also because mixing the two up make some great transitions!  The main bands that comes to mind are Motley Crue and Poison.  Mick Marrs has always put both forms in their music.  CC Devile also writes this way.  I know a lot of others have also but for the metal crowd  they stand out.

Your amp may have external speaker jack in the back.  get a speaker cable and hook those puppies up!  have you ever seen a 5 watt valve amp  drive a 4x12 cab with no problem! check this out : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoFQvVTqWtI  (btw i have this bugera amp. its great!)

Ask a guy at the music store how to do it.

The kendle fire is great, but as far as an app for it, im not sure.  I have sent my word docs to it and they show up in the documents section.  youhave to manually swipe  them to turn the pages.  My kid has the fire HD but I have not sent her a doc to test on it.
