C'mon, that thing screams for a high voltage set.

It reminds me of old Star Trek episodes . . . how when Captain Kirk was going to boink an alien chick they always shot the alien chick in soft focus when you were first introduced. I think that means that this guitar is going to be a keeper. Or at least fuckable. :P

I tend to find that it's easier to get a good bridge sound than a good neck sound, and adjust the neck pickup first. Then balance the bridge to the neck. But I tend to use the neck pretty often compared to some - maybe 75% of the time on that pickup with a strat and 50% with a LP.

Yeah, you lose a very particular tone in that range. :P

I'm not buying a camcorder to play.

If the neck and bridge are the same output, then usually you want the neck lower than the bridge to balance things. If the bridge is very hot and the neck is very quiet you might want the opposite (although this would be unusual). It's entirely personal preference. Do you want to balance the...

Weren't all Dumble amps unique and custom tailored for their user?

I also don't set my pickups to any kind of 'standard' height. Most of the time I'm happiest when the pickups are quite a bit lower than any suggestions I've read. Typically it takes me a couple months of little adjustments here and there to get the heights sounding and working perfect for a...

I've never been a fan of the brand, but it feels like Behringer has been releasing a lot of seemingly cool knock-offs recently. They did a decent sounding tone bender, a decent sounding vibe, and a decent sounding klon.

It's whatever came stock with my US made So Cal, so I'm guessing probably the same thing you're talking about? Not quite unfinished, but it feels very much like raw wood in the hand. It's Danish oil from what I was able to find out. If you go down to your hardware store you can get a can of...

I have never had a cell phone.

I have a Charvel with an oiled neck. Love the feel of the back of the neck, hate that the front of the fretboard gets grimey. Every four or five months of heavy use and I need to pull the neck off, do a deep cleaning, and then re-apply danish oil. I think my ideal maple neck guitar would have...

What's the thing that looks like a piece of gum under the bridge pickup ring in the last picture?

I think some of the striped ebony can look really beautiful:

I wish they wouldn't be so understated about the whole thing.
