I just made a Graffiti Yellow 5 string Jazz which rules, and I bought a Sire Marcus Miller V7 4 string Jazz a few years ago - the Sire is really great, better than MIA Fender, highly recommended. ​

I had very rare "scientifically pure" conditions for all my testing; 2 guitars with identical parts --- that delighted the DiMarzio guy - I just wired the new pickup in and it sounds terrific --- a happy ending!

Hey everybody, long time no see. Quick background: I built a a sparkly Telecaster, and my son's music teacher loves it so much I'm secretly making an exact replica for him. I finished it 3 weeks ago, set it up, it plays great, BUT - I can't get the pickups sounding correct. I am using...

Hey everybody, me again - this time I put together a bass-boat sparkly silver Telecaster with all gold hardware. I even used gold pickguard screws. I had approximately enough spare parts for one Telecaster (but it was all gold), so I ordered a body and made this super fun little Tele. Every...

Hey everybody. I started this guitar a long time ago, then forgot to finish it. I started building it when we were expecting our first child, with a goal of finishing it before he was born - that kid is taller than my wife now - whoops! I'll do a brief catchup with all the pictures from 15...

https://youtu.be/BwWytUQJUb0?si=kfY-qPk6a82f-Acu Hey gang, I just wrote this riff/ song - in the style of the summer riff rock of my youth. I tried out tapping for the first time and it turned out pretty good! This song also has a half-time-drums beat-down section, which I love. Let me know...

My friend Anthony sent me an idea and wanted me to turn it in to a full band recording, so I obliged. Was fun to try a style I don't really do...

I started learning bass last year - really fun. Here's a fun song from Anderson Paak and Bruno Mars:

I just got back to playing guitar after 5 years and needed a hill to climb. I stumbled across the song Riley B King by Robben Ford, and it had enough cool chords that I zeroed in on it as my first "exercise" after picking guitar back up. Here's me playing it unplugged on my old Stratocaster in...

Re: Sunbursts, care to show them off? Bad 5 year old cell phone picture of my #1 Strat. That was when I had the Road worn neck on it. That's a great neck. It has the original maple AmStd neck on it now. 1996 American Standard, KGC brass block (that I won from their testing thing here!)...

I'm interested in learning to play, was wondering if anyone here had experience or wisdom to share on the subject. Thanks a lot!

I think I want a porchin' guitar. I have a full dreadnought that is a Rhode Island Guild and too nice to take camping and leave around where it can get knocked over. I'm looking for a daily beater. For the porch, backyard, fire pit, etc. What are y'all using? 000? Parlor? I like the idea of...
