Hello everyone, been a while since I posted, hope everyone’s doing good though. Especially with how the past year has gone. Anyhow, I have a question for those of you who have experienced this issue. The bridge on my Eastwood Jerry Garcia Wolf Tribute has a bit of a rattle on the D and B. It...

Hi folks, I hope this is the correct place to post this. Anyhow, The Eastwood guitar I bought Sunday, and am currently waiting for it to get here, has an OBEL. i understand the basics behind them, but have never owned one. I’m pretty sure the answer is yes, but better to ask imho You can hook...

Hello again folks, I want to thank you all for the feedback on the best online guitar vendors, I asked about the other day. This however is a much more specific question. I had been looking at Gibson SG Standards, but something came up on the radar that I’m VERY interested in. Of course...

Hi folks, I am in the market for a Gibson SG Standard, and not sure where is the most trustworthy online vendors (with solid return policies) I had originally planned to just buy a brand new one from Gibson, but they don’t have the finish I am really looking for. Everything is Cherry, I’m...

Hi guys, So long story short, in late 2014 I made the decision to start getting back into playing for my own enjoyment after not having a guitar for nearly 20ish years. Went out and got a Squire Classic Vibe and a brand new Mustang 2 amp. In mid 2015 I broke my neck in a fall (C5) which ended...

Hi folks, Been a while since I posted. During the course of healing from a broken neck back in '15, the Rosewood fretboard on my acoustic really dried out. I have this beeswax/carnauba and orange oil solution I use on my cane, and wondered if I could use it? I always see people mention lemon...

Hi folks, Been a while since I posted, but after breaking my neck this past July ( my actual neck not the guitars lol ) I have not been able to play at all until very recently. Anyhow, I am headed to the hardware store this afternoon to pick up a few things and have been wanting to get a...

Hi everyone, Have not posted in a while and thought I would pop in and say hello to all you good folks! So as the title says, I broke my neck ( today is week 5 ). I am sure I made mention in a couple posts that I have some medical issues, well one of them results in seizures. I know when you...

Yes I know what they say about opinions, but I still feel they can be helpful when taking in all the information you can on a topic to make an informed decision. Plus it's always nice to know what others are doing with their gear, etc... So my question is fairly simple, though I have a feeling...

Hi folks, I am not even close to putting together anything as professional as many of you are able to achieve. I am curious though, if it is audio only what is the go to upload site? ( free would be a plus, if possible ) As always TIA!

Hi folks, I have pretty much played EB supers since I was first introduced to them back in the early 90's. I liked them way back then so they were the obvious choice to come back too when I started playing again last august. As before I have been really happy with them, but I am starting to be...

Hi folks, I have for the most part always ( even back in the early 90's before being forced out of playing due to an injury ) been pretty happy with the results of cleaning my fret boards with a damp towel. It has always worked well to get the grim and gunk off between string replacements. I...

Hi folks, My desktop finally died a a while back and until I replace it ( very soon I hope ) everything is being run on my astrophotography laptop. I have heard you can use Audacity to record directly through the USB from my Mustang 2 v2, but I have yet to find a clear tutorial on how to do so...

Hi folks, Just sitting up can't sleep ( as usual ) and just put a new set of strings on. Looking at where I play it got me wondering how many of you play according to factory specs, or go above and or below them to suit your playing style? IIRC I am supposed to be 5/64 low E & 4/64 high E at...

Hi folks, I know as with many things picks are highly personal preference for many reasons. I am about to buy a few different types and had a question or two. I typically use Tortex .73, not to stiff not to flexible. They are pretty much my go to as far as standard picks go. However, my...
