Hi , Great playing ..methinks you play professionally, hahaha.I wanted to ask if you have changed the strings on the Pignose? I bought a yellow pignose from japan, I noticed if i hold the E string to hard with certain chords it slides out of tune a little. Also do you think I coud change the Pickup? I use it for a School show and only for one song but when I plug in to the PA it sounds like a cheapy. Any advice ? ciao
@candidcomment Ah thanks! No I don't play pro. Yes I have changed the strings on my Pignose. You maybe pressing on the strings too hard if tuning goes out. When you put new strings on, give them a little pull to stretch them. New strings can go out of tune quicker. If you want to change the pick-up on it, you can get a Humbucker in Single-Coil Size, so you don't have to make a bigger space in the body. Or buy a little amp with effects, instead of playing through the PA. Good luck.
Awesome shredding mate! And yes I would like to buy another one if it had a Floyd Rose or Kahler locking bridge that came stock with it. I got a PGG-200 that I play through an Orange Tiny Terror amp and it sounds awesome considering it's so tiny and the full scale neck is flawless! But the built-in Pignose amp doesn't sound that impressive though it can get very loud for a 9V battery.
Thanks for that, always nice to hear! I only use mine without an amp when I'm out of my living room like in the kitchen, or if I just want a 5 minute mess around on it. I'd love to do a gig with mine, but not in a band. Will do though, if I do a band again. Maybe you could try and put a Floyd Rose on one yourself. :)
Thanks, nice of you to say so. When I looked at some of the other players on here, I was blown away at how brilliant some of them are. Made me remember that there is so much to learn. The learning never ends.
Thanks for the kind words/comment. Yes it's a good little guitar, worth the money. If I had known it was going to get thousands of views, I would have at least tried to make a much better video of it. Seeing has it has had so many views, it's not worth me taking the video off now. I keep meaning to make a couple more videos, of my other guitars. Will try soon I think. ha
I bought one of these in metallic red about 12 years ago, I think for about £150 from Project Music in West London. It still sounds as good as the day I bought it and has never given a moments trouble, although the scratchplate screws rusted pretty soon after buying. Apart from that, a great guitar.
@Thumpstarrr Thanks for that. I bought my Pignose off ebay for about 110 pounds second hand. I think they come up on the UK ebay every now and then. Do a search on there now and then and you can catch one, unless you just buy a new one. The one I bought just needed the bridge lowering a bit, then it was much easier to play. I play it more than any of my other guitars, including my old Gibson S.G. For a low cost guitar the neck is pretty good. Happy shopping!
me wants one in left handed!!

@harmonyvegan Hey fellow Vegan! :) See if you can get one from the Pignose company if you can't find one left handed elsewhere.

"Please excuse my playing.." Dude, you have nothing to worry about if you can play like this.

@larjanus Yes, if I had to get rid of all my guitars apart from one, I'd keep the Pignose. :-)

That's so fucking cool! Really good/clean playing. I'm gonna go see how much these go for.
