Just heard the bad news - pioneer luthier Ken Parker just passed away.

Looks good from 10 feet. The neck needs a lot of help. More later...

Okay, you think I'm stupid. Gotcha.

I'm overstocked, so I'm going to let go some of my OLD stock go. These are still in the little plastic jewel boxes. 1 set - P-Rails in black - $155, free ship 1 set - P-Rails in cream - $155, free ship 1 ea - Cool Rails for Strat in white - $65, free ship 1 ea - Hot Stack for Strat in white -...

One of my guys brought me a Chinese G&L Tele that had an SH-16 in the bridge position with a 3 way mini-switch (series, single coil, parallel). He wants a P-Rails installed in the bridge using the same mini-switch. HOWEVER, the pickup is mounted in one of the rings with the little DIP...

You didn't specify...

2007 Guitar of the Week - #17, zebrawood top over mahogany, Les Paul. No idea what happened to the stock pickups, sometime in the past they were replaced with P-Rails w/ the switches in the rings. It's never been setup, so that's on the work order, and changing the pickups over to a set of zebra...

Herman knows!

One of my guys brought me a Chinese Tele body that weighed around a pound and a half, an old Peavey Nitro neck, and a set of G&L locking tuners. What could I do for cheaps? I put a Wilkinson bridge on it, a couple Bill Lawrence units, and some spare hardware to make it all fit. My gawd, this is...

This cat is all over YouTube with gear demos, lessons, and just fun info. A Nashville session guy/touring pro who seemingly can play anything with strings, and play with taste while doing so. I like the guy, and I love his playing. Who else is hip to RJ?

I switched to Cat Tongue picks years ago (.88mm) when my arthritis affected my grip. Once I pick these up, it's darn near impossible to drop. In fact, if I pick them up in the wrong position, I have to throw them down before picking it up again correctly.

Client traded me the husk of a Squier Strat he had laying around for a trio of Bill Lawrence pickups for another Strat he was keeping. I installed a no-name vibrato and a pickguard from Lace Sensor loaded with an H/S/S wiring set from the parts room. In the #2 position the humbucker is tapped to...

Anyone have any used Kahler wangulators they'd like to sell? Doesn't have to be in perfect condition - flat mount, stud mount, you name it. Accessories are cool, too. I have clients looking for vintage gear for vintage guitars for prices that aren't so stupid. Personally, I have a penchant for...

Made a lot of money with this Miller airbrush I've owned since the late 70's. The cup holds enough to spray 2 thin coats on most guitars.

Add enough of almost any finish and you can build it up to a nice shine. Observe this TruOil finish on a koa Tele...
