    What guitar are you playing today?

    A few dead frets won't keep me from... But it does mean it's next on a luthier's bench to have that fixed.

    Goo Didar Nay!¡!

    Goo Didar Nay!¡! The pink could be more pink, but that's okay. I can get used to the Jatoba fretboard. Depending on the room/lighting, it's a darker shade of brown to a barely ginger, coffee with just a touch of milk brown. I'll have this setup for left-handed and to play arpeggios so I can...

    "Hard" rules for your guitars

    Gold Hardware = F.O. I'm flexible with pretty much everything else. And with gold hardware, too. I guess.

    Worship the V !!!

    It's not exactly a V, but it's definitely not NOT a V.

    Squier tiers?

    2024 Affinity. Probably worth it for the US price, $261.99 vs $499AU, but I can't really complain. This is how it arrived, you have to make it "inspire" you. See? Look at that. How BORING!

    Also, would gold pickup mounts be too much? It would probably look better if the gold matched, but this is the idea.

    Treading New Ground.

    This is the one that arrived. This is the tangled mess I have to deal with. It's very buzzy, P-90 buzzy. I haven't examined the problem too closely, but it might be easier to figure it out if I tidy it up a bit.

    Treading New Ground.

    While I still haven't sold the guitars I've been meaning to sell for the last few months (I'll get around to it; shut up), I decided to look for the best discount on a guitar and found it here. https://www.artistguitars.com.au/buy/Damaged-Artist-Cimmerian-Matte-Black-Electric-Guit/8000783...

    For old guys only...

    Also, semi-related. I guess they're very popular now, that people asked for "Explorer-style" and got their wish.

    NGD - Artist AG1...

    Nope. The bevelling is not the same on that side. And there's the bevelling of the pickguard itself. The more I look at it, the more it seems like a custom job. Which is annoying.

    NGD - Artist AG1...

    This one was $229. I wanted the project. Epi's aren't the right shape. Also, it's not as simple as a left-handed pickguard, the arm bevel on the side makes sizing an issue.

    Arrived today... Then it EXPLODED! And just a few minutes ago, to top it all off, the bushings fell out. Well. It was fun while it lasted. I guess now all I have to do is strip the paint, stain the wood, upgrade the tuning keys, add more dynamic pickups, restore the electronics, and...

    Guitar legend on the ropes

    "Can I play the guitar anymore?" "Of course you can!" "Well, I couldn't before."

    Preparing for Selling...

    The local pawn shop told me about their service where I take a bunch of photos of the guitars I wish to palm off and they base their prices on the photos. I have no issues taking photos, the stupid phone does all the work, but some of the guitars have "dead" strings. I mean, some damn kid is...

    JB Alternatives

    I finished "prettying up" the Kramer guitar tonight with HK stickers from some activity books. It's a bit spotty, likely due to holding the can too close, but I'm sure that will go away over time. Anyway, while pulling things apart, I figured (due to some reviews regarding the "poor" pickups...
