I'll tell you this the northern ash trees are being slaughtered by that ash borer so maybe thats why they are getting slightly harder to get. I...

If I was buying a Fender body, or any Strat body to build my own, I would get ash if possible. I almost got the American Std. swamp ash Strats...

I had a friend ask for a beat up Ovation acoustic that I had for like 10 years. He told me the guitar was worth $1,000, because it was made in...

Yeah I mean plenty of people like them. I have one or 2 "Sam Ash" branded cables that I bought in the 90's that still work well, those might have...

I think Fender cables are terrible for the most part. I may have gotten unlucky but I have bought 3 with the tweed look and 2 were not usable,...

I think a Strat bridge that has a wired tone pot can get closer to a chicken pickin' Tele than the Tele can get the smooth Neck tones of the...

I have no idea whether its real or fake, but those scalloped frets are weird

Cambodian breast milk. But only on Rosewood fretboards.

Hybrid for me but I usually just tuck the pick between my fingers if I want to switch over. Which can lead to dropping the pick but not usually.

The right hand is often forgotten in the world of guitar playing. I think you need to learn as much as possible. Alternate, economy, hybrid,...

I always thought it was strange that Fender would have "aged" parts on the stock American Standards from 2012-2018, but then leave the pickguard...

He's playing in D tuning I think, a whole step down. I bet he did this more often than people say. He also had 5 springs in there, for more...

I actually unscrewed my trem bar the other day, and tried to get the spring out. I've been very careful to always cover the hole if I took it...

Hard to know how much noise is normal, if you are using single coil pickups SSS style, there will be noise anyway. The MXR brick is pretty...

Let me preface this by saying I did also upgrade to a PRRI with a 12" alnico Jensen, however, I really liked my FSR Blues Jr. It is the "After...

Looks kinda like a partscaster but I can't tell just from those pics. I'd trust the members that live and breathe this stuff. My 2013 has the...

That is how its supposed to be done.

Get a setup. Get used to the tuners, I have never had locking tuners but I hate changing strings so I'm sure I'd like them. You have a humbucker...

I think you said you have the six screw, I've only ever had the 2 point trem that came with the 2012-2018 run of American Standards. Mine stays...

Not necessarily less dynamics, actually probably more. The Strat is crisp. Sounds better clean. Has a 5 way switch that gives you all kinds of...

I want to go through this thread just for some amperage eye candy but for me, I had a solid state Princeton 112 in the 90s. Didn't even know what...

I plugged in my Epiphone Les Paul this weekend, juiced it with a fuzz and a little reverb, I gotta say the sustain is far superior to the Strat....

I have the Jekyll and Hyde v1 as well. Kinda love that pedal, even though now it rarely gets used. I think when I bought it, I was trying a few...

I think you learn really fast when you first start (if you have a good ear, etc.), and then it takes a few years before you hit a wall. I'm still...

Fuzz sounds great when you roll off the tone knob, especially on the neck pickup. Not sure exactly what EJ was doing in that famous video but I...
