String Source Artist @keyanhoushmandlive is looking to convert his 7 string into a 30” scale BEHEMOTH! 😬 Luckily for him, our strings are long enough to fit that.. and then some 😉 #jacksonguitars #customguitars #baritone

String noise is undefeated. That is all. 🫡 @nikkyabsence getting his money’s worth with all these strings - Paid for an 8 string, so I’m using all 8 strings #djent #abasi #progressivemetal #thall

String Source Artist @sammooradian making it look easy with this crazy tapping lick! Perfectly balanced tensions allows for a better setup, so tapping runs like this aren’t as strenuous on the hands! 🙏 - 🚨NEW LICK ALERT🚨 I’ve been working on skipping notes and strings to sound more fusiony and less like I’m just playing through scales. Also helps me visualize multiple shapes at once, so win win!

String Source Enthusiast @tylernoct jamming some Slipknot riffs. Perfectly executed, with perfect tension. It doesn’t get much better than that 💜 - “Gematria (The Killing Name)” by @slipknot is a masterclass in both left and right hand muting, especially with how much the left hand is moving across the fretboard through hammer-ons and pull-offs. It’s definitely trickier than it sounds! Using my @kieselguitars magma metallic A2, @fractalaudiosystems FM9, and @lichtlaermaudio King in Yellow boost, along with @thestringsource and @happycablecompany . #guitarist #slipknot #kieselguitars #guitarcover #mickthomson

@erc_mrtn ripping some Black Label Society with The Source 💜 What’s an old school track that you love to jam to this day? - 🔥 DEVIL’S DIME🔥 A classic, and a favorite, from @blacklabelsocietyofficial album Shot To Hell - Which turns 20 this year! This song is supposedly a tribute to @dimebagdarrell as well 🤘 What’s your favorite from the album? Played on my @wyldeaudio Berserker with @emgpickups and @thestringsource strings 🫡 #zakkwylde #wyldeaudio #guitar #reel shred
