"Musician" is a low bar. It means someone who makes music. All "guitar players" are musicians. So is the kid playing triangle in the 5th grade...

Not a Strat, but I did. [ATTACH] I bought this Yamaha SBG500 in the mid 90s, paid $85. With original hard shell case. The seller was a friend...

The argument is, you are effectively using your tubes as an effect. The sound the audience hears comes from both your little guitar amp (even a...

If you did, you would remember. Replacing the leads on a pickup is rather delicate and fiddley. The sort of thing one remembers, absent...

"I hate misquoters." --Hamlet. We are in a golden age of guitar, and there is a wonderous bounty of guitar pedals. And digital multi-effects....

These pickups don't match each other. The one in bridge position has all the poles flat across, which means if it's Fender at all it's from 1974...

I thought it sounded solid state from the first couple of notes. Honestly it sounds a LOT like my solid state Marshall pedal. Kind of grainy....

I have seen the "ski jump" in bolt-on necks that have been shimmed, but only in pictures on the internet. I suspect the issue is caused by the...

I hear spermaceti in lamps burns about the same as kerosene, but it smells better. I also hear you can't get it anymore, something about...

The only way they can't feel the same is if you stick your hands in the back of the amp. If you mean recording with sims at headphone volumes...

And amp voicing is for the most part done with caps and resistors, not tubes and transistors. A badly voiced amp will sound bad. In my...

Wider spacing at the bridge makes fingerpicking easier. The issue is that if your bridge is too wide your strings start falling off the edge when...

If you use a full pocket flat shim, you will only be able to raise the saddles by the thickness of the shim. If that's all you need, you probably...

The best toanz come from a combination of the two. How many tube purists use solid state pedals? Like the famed ts808, or the germanium fuzz...

If I was buying a used cs guitar, I would inspect everything very carefully, simply because so many fakes claim to be cs. Fraudsters are hoping...

"jaguar" is pronounced jag-whar. Jag-you-are sounds pretentious, Jag-wire sounds stupid. "Ja, gwar" is also wrong. Unless you're speaking...

Tonewood effects the timbre of electric guitars. Just not very much.

This pic is how people circa 2000 thought people dressed in the 1950s. $25.99 for a case of cigs...naw. In the 50s they were $0.24 a pack. And...

Not if you want to keep the same scale length and the neck pickup. The center of the neck pickup goes at the same place the 24th fret would. If...

I would assume Fender knows what it's buying, and if they don't get the quality they paid for they'll send it back. But going cheap on...

LOL have you met the same drummers I have, or are they all like that?

If you install it when it's wet, you'll have a helluva time ever getting it back out again. And I think the anchor may be in the way when you go...

The neckplate's job is essentially the same as a flat washer. Flat washes come in different grades just like bolts. The mild steel kind warp and...

The Vintera 50s set is an A5 set, I haven't seen anybody else saying those are dark pickups. Try disconnecting the tone--easy and reversible....

$300 for a set of pickups is outrageous. Silly money. Obviously you're itching to try something different in your nice (but inexpensive) guitar....
