Blimey that's true! I have bought a couple of bodies and necks from Stratosphere but the shipping from USA kills it somewhat, also the VAT...

I've got a PRS with a coil split and now I leave all my Strats and Les Pauls at home.

Unless you're a cellist, then it's "AAAAAAAAAAGGGHH!!!!!"

My advice is, don't build a partscaster. This comes from many years of experience, during which I built probably a dozen of the damn things....

My pet hate is black, on anything. Except a Les Paul Standard, it just seems to work with the cream plastic and binding, the chrome hardware and...

I'm a Gibson guy, but recently decided I would buy a really good US Strat so that I could sell all the others. (Well some of them anyway.) But I...

I use boiled linseed oil

Only 3 ways of reducing string tension: 1 - Fit lighter strings 2 - Tune the guitar down 3 - Buy a guitar with a shorter scale length If you...

I went with the white pearl as the lesser of two evils, as neither works for me on Midnight Wine.

Yes, that is a good point. If I buy a Strat without such a switch, I usually add it.

The five way switch replaced the three way in about 1976-77, about the same time as the plastic parts went from white to black. I find Strat...

I knew it! I was wondering how long this thread would last before some muffin said 'tone carpet.'

Lots of good advice on here, it's where I learned it from! And like many others, I too did many level & profile jobs on cheap and nasty guitars,...

I used to have two Epiphone Casinos, identical except for colour. The sunburst one, when played acoustically, was fairly dead, the natural one...

"HELP I AM BEING HELD PRISONER IN A GUITAR FACTORY"

Somebody once said, and it wasn't me (but I wish it had been!) "The best way to change the sound of your guitar is to walk over to the amp and...

Wilfred Pickles (ask your grandad) once said about bagpipes, "They are best heard from a distance. And from Scotland, London is about right."

Well I don't object to one or two, when the rest of the set is the band's own music. After all, even the Beatles did a few; Money, Twist And...

Covers. I've bothered to get off my butt, wash, shave, get dressed, put petrol in the car and pay to get in the venue. I don't want to then hear...

Never realised it was a Thanksgiving ritual (probly cos we don't have Thanksgiving here in the UK), but I do remember having a girlfriend who...

If the neck's OK, it would be worth buying just for parts Shirley?

The position of the 12th fret markers points to a US 62 reissue, as they are too close together, whereas they were the correct distance apart on...

If you like the guitar, chuck a decent set of alnicos at it and you'll have a nice one. Oh, and don't underestimate the value of a good setup.

I've never bought a partscaster and never will. Indeed I'll never buy a guitar that's been modified in any way; people advertise them as...

I've only ever had one guitar with a reverse headstock and I HATED it! I spent half the time turning the wrong tuner, and the other half turning...
