I kinda dig the glossy maple fretboards you find on many Fenders, and I have a little project I’m going to start this weekend which involves refinishing a cheap neck I got from GuitarFetish’s Factory Buyout Clearance section a year or so ago. It has a rosewood fretboard and I’m tempted to...

“Colette” is a project that began about a year-and-a-half ago when I got a SSS EMG loaded pickguard and some Schaller tuners from forum bro SlyFoxx. Ever since I’ve been agonizingly SLOWLY gathering up parts for this Strat project. Last spring I found a pretty unique neck on eBay that I ended...

“Gypsy” turned out to be a bit of a pleasant surprise. I sold my semi-hollow Ibby AS83 a couple months ago, but not before I pulled the P-Rails out of her and put back the stock ACH humbuckers. Ever since then I’ve been keeping a loose eye open for a good platform for my orphaned P-Rails. I...

Well, close anyway... I got this one on 12/30. [emoji6] I present to you “Big Red” I remember back in the 80s being captivated by the whole Steinberger headless thing, and ever since I’ve had a secret desire for one, even though everything I see says they’re not the same as they used to be...

Well, I've been hanging out here for a few years now but have barely ever put up any clips of my playing. I was listening to Christmas music today and this one came up... and I remembered that I actually liked how it came out. I actually recorded it back in 2007, but what the hell... Merry...

Re: Post your new pedals The last two pedals I bought were back in March, and I don’t plan on buying any others for a long time! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am selling my spare Zoom G5 on craigslist and was asking $150 (only paid $100 used for it). Had some guy offer me a trade for an Epiphone Les Paul Junior: One thing I noticed in the headstock pic is that there is a vertical line showing which I’m not sure if it’s a crack or just a...

Re: Where Do You Put The Pick Holder On Your Fender? Cool stuff, but they're all too big! I had considered the Fretfunk thingy, but it's too bulky and distracting. I like that one you have much better... at least it's clear. I've only dropped a pick once or twice while performing, and when...

So back last fall I completed Elizabeth. She plays awesome, looks great, but her sound was kinda “meh.” I knew why too... it was because of the Ibanez ACH humbuckers I had in her which had come stock on Rachel, my 2005 AS-83. They had been “meh” in her too so I had swapped in P-Rails to...

Well, I did it… a couple of weeks ago I picked up one of these bad boys: The Headrush Pedalboard... this thing is INSANE! I’ve been spending a lot of time getting to know it during the past couple of weeks and to say that I’m impressed would be a gross understatement. So many amps, cabs...

I’m thinking of pulling the trigger on getting myself a 10”-11” tablet to use for gigs as a set list and for song lyrics/notes. At this point I’m completely open in terms of operating system (Android, iOS, Windows). So what are ya’ll using and why? Pros? Cons? Thanks in advance!

OK… So I am going to let you guys in on the fact that I made a real BONEHEAD move a couple of years ago. Just about two years ago I completed my first build/assembly/partscaster. I was really excited about it and pretty proud of how she came out: Now this was my first “all single coil“...

This is the thread for my third project of 2018. I’m calling it a Cabanacaster, but I have yet to come up with a name for her. The Cabanacaster idea actually came from my buddy down under, Kramersteen. He made a comment one time about making a guitar to look like one of my Hawaiian shirts and...

This is my project thread for “Elizabeth,” my second partscaster for 2018 (named for my youngest daughter, who is 12). This one has been going for a while now. I bought the body from GuitarFetish’s Factory Buyout Clearance for $30 last June. At the time it looked like this: I found a...

The last of the parts came in on Thursday for my GFS HH Strat project and I’ve been chomping at the bit for the weekend to come so I could get on it. So I got up this morning, made some coffee, and got started. Took me most of the day but it came out pretty good! I was going for gaudy but...
