I'd just have him pick up a new one for me.

Using Fast Fret just gunks up your strings with mineral oil. Never seemed like a good idea to me. I change my strings frequently and wipe them...

It occurs to me that there are far more people who worry over the cosmetics of their guitars and how they look on forums and in social media than...

Those are Suregrip II's, I believe. the original Suregrips have what amounts to a tire tread rubber band around the knob, and a lot of them over...

I think it depends on what manufacturers are calling "jumbo." If I'm playing a Les Paul with a smooth ebony fretboard, medium jumbos are just...

I grew up playing piano, and I have monster hands and seriously strong fingers. But I was cautioned by my guitar teacher (who was also the main...

I don't doubt that you can do a good fret dress by hand, and quickly, too. The basis of why PLEK machines don't make sense for most shops,...

I own exactly one Fender (a bass) and just never developed any interest in strats. I *do* own a bunch of guitars with Floyds and several older...

Most piano tuners use a tuning fork that's accurate. I've had a set of those for years. Buy one (a single tuning fork will cost you under $10),...

Folks have done this before, and then offered their guitars for sale. It would take the same effort as a fret level and crown, and you could...

Yup. The instrumentation isn't new; it's been around in one form or another, probably since the early '60's. If you bought a high-end stereo...

There are a number of instrumentation setups that can tell you this, some of which will actually fit on iPhones and iPads.

The current iteration of the Helix firmware (3.0) has an acoustic simulator built in. Actually pretty presentable. Acoustic simulations of any...

Building a parts guitar can be fun, but a serious ***** when trying to sell it. I don't buy parts guitars, ever. It's like a box of chawclits; you...

Oh lord. My deepest condolences. I've spent time crawling around the scuzzy floor in bars I've played, of course, but I don't recall using...

Big is relative. Allow me to whip this out.

Sheesh. You and my wife.

It rarely changes significantly for different levels of input. There are different methods for measuring it, of course (at a specific frequency,...

Currently have 15 tube amps left. Started with a Vox SuperBeatle (not a tube amp). Current most-used amp is a 1500W solid state amp feeding a pair...

I seem to get runs of strings that have crappy twists every now and then. Nothing for a long time, then three or four batches in a row. I think...

If you've ever had a string slip in a nut, you'd probably definitely tighten the screws at the nut with an Allen wrench. I've never ever dropped...

Wait until the first time the twist on one of those ball ends comes undone. Then you'll understand.

buncha maroons.

Do it the long way.
