Re: Guitar straps? I bought a Lock-It 2" cotton strap a couple of months ago and I like it. It's a tight fit and would be a pain to try to swap it from guitar to guitar so it's staying on my Dean for good. It's comfortable and definitely locks down. I have a bunch of snake skin and am going to...

I recently bought a Dean Razorback and it had the DMT design pickups in it. They sounded okay but were nothing special. So I picked up a SD Dimebucker and Dean DMT DimeTime PU off a local seller on fleaBay for a good price. I soldered all the connections yesterday and set the height of the...

Hi everyone. I am going to build a simple small pedalboard this week and want to run it the cheapest way possible. I was thinking about just having a surge protector power strip in the back of it and buying some power plugs for the pedals that didn't come with them. I am also looking at the MXR...
