    Another one bites the dust

    I remember 48th street and buying my first electric guitar at Manny's back in 1981. Took the bus into town, walked in, felt intimidated by all the guitars, older guys who must have been 20 years old, never saw anything like it in my life, but I was determined to buy a tele, just like Bruce...

    Paul Reed Smith finally wises up to plastic tuning buttons

    We've been swapping metal tuning buttons to plastic for years. Or at least I have on my builds. Maybe he even read some posts here. He says it makes the guitar sound better, more midrange!, or at least not robbing the midrange. I will say it makes the neck lighter and easier to play. People...

    Question about the conversation feature, with the envelope icon.

    Is this the replacement for PM? And is it secure? If two people want to use it, as long as neither invite anyone else, is it still secure?

    Can any of you guys recommend a 3PDT mini switch?

    I've never installed one before and it's going to be going into my new jazzmaster build. (I'm following the instructions given to me by the good Freeway folks, using their 5B5-01 10 way selector switch) The purpose is to split the 3 mini humbuckers and the schematic calls for a 3PDT On/on...

    Flake Finish Jazzmaster

    Starting my build thread ... I had a previous post about what pickups to use, and after some advice from DiMarzio I'm going with two vintage DP 240's in the neck and middle positions, and a vintage dp241 in the bridge. This is similar to St Vincent's eb pick up configuration, though there is...

    Ed Sheeran defeats insanity

    https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-65480293 Not that I ever worried about, but in my set list is La Bamba that transitions seamlessly into Twist and Shout. A crowd favorite. And at least in the Southern District of NY, thanks to Ed, I will never have to worry. I believe the rest of...

    Why are there so many robots looking at this website?

    I just checked the visitors section and I saw most of the visitors are robots? What are the robots looking for and why are they here? Wouldn't they be better off looking at a bank or something? I'm sure they aren't nefarious, but what are they doing? Are they like those face mites?
