    New book - Should we still revere our heroes when we know bad things about them?

    As far as performers, actors, sports figures or any other form of entertainers go, I try to appreciate them for their talents and try to ignore their beliefs, and other aspects of their lives. I would prefer not to hear anything about their personal lives. For instance, I'm not a baseball fan...

    Player Strat Neck Skunk Stripe Crack

    I wouldn't worry about it, I doubt I would have even noticed it.

    Do you often play your Strat unplugged?

    Most of the time actually, unless I'm recording on Garage Band.

    I also have an Ampeg Jet from 1966. They are a great pair and I'm having a blast playing both of them again.

    Pictures of you playing guitar

    I've had it about 40 years. I recently got it back from a neighbor I had lent it to to learn some chords. He never did and was reluctant to return it. He thought it looked cool in his living room, so retro! I finally just went to his house and got it. It really is a great guitar and I seem to...

    Good move or bad move? I know who they are now.

    IMO very bad move, I don't care who you are, flipping off paying customers is a move they won't forget unless you're an adolescent who thinks that's cool.

    Very Disappointed

    Nothing against Japanese guitars, my 76 Ibanez "Crafted in Japan" guitar was fantastic, though heavier than my car. I can't speak for the quality of the 83 RS 100, but I would assume, I know I shouldn't, it was a less expensive, inferior model. My Strat was American, also as heavy as a car. My...

    Very Disappointed

    My friend bought it new, he can't even find a screwdriver much less set up a guitar. There were no online stores back then (or chain stores). When he purchased my 79'. So you actually went to a music store and tried out the guitar you wanted to buy. I don't know who set them up (Fender or the...

    This was not a problem before on-line guitar stores.

    Today they do. There were no online stores back then (or chain stores). When I purchased my 79'. So you actually went to a music store and tried out the guitar you wanted to buy. I don't know who set them up (Fender or the retailer) but if you picked up a guitar set up like the OP's in those...

    Very Disappointed

    I got a 79' in the early 80's it was player ready. I did lower the action. Was I just lucky?

    Ooops

    I feel the same way. My wife and I have always earned and spent our monies separately. She could care less about what I spend my money on, weather it's guitars or cars and parts. However I still talk it over with her on larger purchases ($500.00 and up). She always says" I don't care it's your...
