Re: I thought I'd share... That guage is just an old air pressure guage that I salvaged from a junk yard. There's not much more to see. Here's a bit closer shot of the body..

About a decade ago, my drummer and I had the crazy idea of combining farm implements with guitars. I just thought I'd share the 10 year old result. Behold, the Fendeere Tracto-caster..... Is that the dumbest looking thing you've ever seen, or what? LOL

I'm reworking my normal stage guitar setup. For those who don't know, I'm in an acoustic duo. I normally take two Ovation 12 strings, one tuned standard and the other tuned in a drop D. However, I'm getting old, and as much as it pains me to admit, I can't sing as high as I used to, so I'm...

All right, who's the dweeb with no balls that asks us about what kind of nut to put into his guitar then doesn't want to take our advice? Show yourself, you little twit. I don't mean that to be unkind, but I took time to respond to your silly "I've already decided to do what I want, but I...

This may not be the right forum, but I'm trying to get some information for a buddy of mine. He's playing an early model Gibby EB bass through a Hartke system that puts out about 150 watts. He says everything sounds just fine except for the low E string, which he can't hear at all...

Been wanting to post some pictures of the boys & girls. Finally got a chance to do that. Here are the first five....

I've been seeing a strange pickup called a Black Knight that looks like 1/2 of an Invader. What is it? Looks cool....

My main 12-string took a header to the pavement this weekend at a very windy gig and sustained a rather ugly, but apparently non-compromising scratch to her finish. Any ideas on how to repair this? I'm considering just a black sharpie and a bit of clear lacquer or taping it off and bondo...

Hi Folks... I've just finished moving and realized in the process that I have 30 years of Guitar Player back issues, starting with January of 1978. Does anyone know if there might be a market for some of these? Just testing the collective waters. It's kind of interesting reading.....

I just picked up my first SG (as in the first one that I ever bought) from the luthier today. I had her refretted. She plays like she did back in '79 now. This is the one guitar, were the house burning down, that I would grab first. I had the luthier put in the same frets as the...

I seem to have been bitten by the "building" bug (again) and I'm finding myself wanting to build (yet another) guitar. I'm wanting a body that's fairly heavy, kind of like the Strats from the 70's yet hardtail. I've looked at all of the usual sites (Stew Mac, WD, etc), but noone seems to be...

I've always liked higher output pickups for the bridge then a lower output at the neck. The Washburn Falcon originally came with Dimarzios that "split", but they really didn't. They were 2 conductor pups that were harnassed to a phenolic circuit board that ran the output through some circuitry...
