Been using them since the late 70's.

This one is hilarious... https://rumble.com/v78xwq8-husband-turns-pregnant-wifes-texts-into-a-pop-punk-song-and-its-actually-pr.html?mref=1wxk5&mc=ehuil

Or a belt shop. Speaking of Gatemouth, I roadied for him one night at a local club and got to play that Firebird during soundcheck. Tuned in open D, and capoed. Run through an MXR Phase 90 that was always on, and into his Fender amp. My dad was a big Gatemouth fan, and he was impressed.

I bet someone at Tandy Leather would know.

My problem with steel wool is that the crumbs are not only magnetic, but they conduct electricity, they rust, and contaminate the whole work area. I'm not even counting the ways they sometimes poke and hurt me. Let the cabinet makers use it.

Steel wool is the devil. Use Scotchbrite.

I did a fret level on a newish LP, and the client requested new D'Addario NYXL 10's. Happy to do so, of course. Got it all up to pitch and played it a bit, was disturbed to hear a strong buzz at the 9th fret on the A and D strings. This wasn't a string buzz - it was loud acoustically - a rattle...

Wrongo! I won't even install a Tusq nut anymore. It's bone nuts only in my shop. A good setup by a competent and experienced luthier is your best bet for achieving your goal. He will eliminate all the friction points for you, and maximize the setup for best intonation and ease of play.

Because they match the middle portion? No one makes edges that ragged on purpose.

I see the seller added a photo of the serial number.

And since it's on my watch list I just got the eBay message giving me 10% off.

I've been listening to Fripp since the early Crimson days. Some of his work with the new standard tuning has been exciting and innovative. Anyone get into his days with the League of Crafty Guitarists? I loved both of his albums with Andy Summers. His work with Eno bored me to death (sorry, Dave).

Maybe an airline or a drunken, angry girlfriend got hold of it.

I think I'll sell it. It's fun, but I got my sound dialed in closer on the Marshall by turning the bass all the way up, turned the gain down a little, and used my Katana Mini on the side plugged into the line out of the Marshall. Some of my pals were amazed at the difference when they sat down...

Total BS.
