Mooplet asked:


I currently own a Schecter Tempest Custom.
It’s about a year old and I’ve loved it ever since.
But it has a tendency to come out of tune quite easily.
When I play shows with my band, I pretty much have to tune after every song.
It’s mainly the G string, which I know is common, but usually not this bad.
After one song, it may be a half or an entire step down from what it should be.
And the other strings don’t stay tuned very well either.

And here’s the question.
I was wondering whether I should get some mechanical locking heads or just get a new guitar.
I don’t really know much about the locking heads or how to set them up, or if it would even be of much help to me.

I was thinking about getting a Gibson Les Paul Vintage Mahogany Electric Guitar.
I mainly play death/metal, kinda like Carnifex, Devil Wears Prada, or Bring Me The Horizon.
I’ve never used a Gibson but I’ve always wanted to try them cause I love the sound, but at the same time I don’t know if it would be right for me.

So what should I do?
Thanks.

Mrs. Ringo asked:


Which is a better guitar. I would think the Vintage Mahogany is because it has BurstBucker Pro pickups (same as the old and new 2008 Standards). But a lot of people love the Studio. Thoughts?

I have played acoustic for quite some time now, and would like to start playing electric. I’ve always liked the Fender guitars but my friend recommended me a Les Paul. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Gibson-Les-Paul-Vintage-Mahogany-Electric-Guitar?sku=517536
Should I buy this? I’m on a budget, so I’ll need to buy a decent amp with this and want to try to spend less than 1200.
