Okay, so this is for fun. Go to the Warmoth site and find a neck or body you wish Santa (or whoever drops presents down your chimney this time of year) would bring you. I'll start with this gorgeous piece. It would be a perfect match for the baritone neck I got earlier this year. I could put...

Hi, folks- I am on template-merchant Mike Potvin's mailing list, and I got a link over the weekend to a new video he put up. It is a how-to for a capacitor switching device so you can test different cap values in your circuit without having to rewire your guitar. You can A/B (or A/B/C/D/E/F)...

Howdy, folks - I have a line on a small tube combo - a 420 Lightning made by an operation called Majestic Amplification out of Chico, California. I have found exactly one other specimen of their work - an El Rey that sold on Reverb 10 months ago. They have no web page, and any other...

Hey, I have not seen anything come up on the RSS feeds for necks, bodies, etc. in about 2 weeks. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is the person who usually updates the website with new parts on vacation? A few years back, I posted a similar note, and that was the case - but I thought I'd...

So this is a story of what's happening in my life, but also an invitation to explore adopting this dog, or share this with a friend. If this is not your thing, your kind indulgence is requested. On Friday, May 12, we agreed to rescue a dog. I think it took us all by surprise. A person was...

Hey, boys and girls - I'm now the proud owner of a basswood paint-grade Warmoth Strat body with a universal rout. I'm contemplating a cheapy-cheap super-basic strat, with a single HB in the bridge position and the OFR trem I just bought from our brother LushTone. I really dig P90's, but not...

Recently my mom has moved from her house of the last 25 years to a senior community near my brother's house. From a three-bedroom house to a one-room apartment, she had to downsize a lot - so much stuff donated and given away! As I was helping her go through her kitchen, I looked at her set of...

Aloha brethren and sistren, ladies and gentlemen, theydies and gentlethems, and kids of all ages! One of my kid sister's dearest friends recently posted on Facebook about wanting to pick up an electric 12-string, and was griping about the limited options that didn't involve backing up the...

[updated with better inline photo embeddage] Howdy boys and girls - I have a Carvin V3M lunchbox head like this: with a four-button footswitch, like this one: A the photo indicates, the two left buttons in various combinations let you switch between the amp's three channels.  The...

Hey, gang -- So I'm contemplating finally going over to the modeling universe, and jettisoning the amp and cab rig I'm using now.  I am not terribly overstocked on cash to drop on this endeavor, so I'd welcome insights on gear that provides genuine value.  At the low end I see used POD XT...

Got an email from Line6 today about a product recall they have issued on their Relay G10 series of transmitters.  Apparently there's a danger of extreme overheating/fire risk when charging.  Owners need to do a firmware update. https://line6.com/g10recall/

Okay, so I have a pair of Carvin S22 pickups I'm planning to install in my Velocity bod that's configured for a blade switch and 3 pots (i.e., basic Strat controls). Obviously the easiest way to go is a 3-way blade switch yielding B - BN - N possibilities.  But it's 2020 and I have options! ...

This is a used LTD MH-1000 FR model electric guitar.  As you can see, it's a fancy beast, with a figured maple top and all manner of abalone purfling and inlay on the fingerboard.  The guitar spent several years on a wall display in a seaside neighborhood, so the brightwork on the bridge and...

In the face of the microbial threat that is the coronavirus strain COVID-19, handwashing is important, and doing so properly could save your life or the lives of those around you.  Some suggest singing "Happy Birthday" twice while you wash to make sure you're doing it long enough, but I say HOLD...
