A veteran friend of one of my uncles has a “Jazzmaster” that he got in Vietnam. I’ve played it before, its pretty interesting. Its only when you...

That makes sense. Yeah the issue would be damping instead of grounding.

Yes! It was weird feedback too. It was sort of in the register of microphonic feedback, but didnt come on like microphonic feedback. It sort of...

I’ve just become resigned to the fact that a GC visit can be much like a Home Depot visit. One may or may not be helped by somebody who knows or...

Interesting. Not sure how I feel about this, I’d have to play something like this first to really form an opinion of its utility. It would be a...

I really dont think it was a “grounding issue.” One thing that became clear after taking the aluminum guard off, was that the pitch of the...

Whats the trick? I had a god awful time with one. Some really horrendous feedback like resonating issues.

Common pop song chord borrowing. A classic example being The Beatles/You Wont See Me.

Smart people know how to do this within some parameters of decorum and language.

Um, no. It just quickly will become so much less about guitars.

For Fender guitars, I personally have to draw the line at 8 lbs. I’ve had a Telecaster heavier than that, and it was such a drag (literally. On my...

Yeah see, if you get a “telecaster” with a great neck pickup its hard to beat. Its a different thing from a strat, and at least mine is really...

Not exactly, the body contours debuted with the strat (unless I have this backwards?) Its after that, that the basses were also contoured. You are...

Honestly I liked both phases. What a great American rock band.

You know what though, Leos groundbreaking paradigm shifting designs are sometimes two steps forward and one step back. So for instance, all of...

The hard truth is that I’m really a “tele dude.” Yeah I love strats, but my first Fender love and desert island electric guitar is and always...

The best advice, no joking.

Yeah I dont get it either.

I get it, totally. My 56 AV has nearly the identical pickups. I really think the only difference are the chamfered pole pieces on the ‘54 AV

No doubt you do, and personally I think they are generally great stratocasters as well. I’ve gotten to test drive one and thought it was really...

I mean, I think 2500.00 is STEEP for a stratocaster very few people enjoy playing

What the hell. And to think I would see these used for like 1300.00-1600.00 just a few years ago. And theres only 1,954 of them. I guarantee...

Alright I gotta know, how did you “destroy” a 54 Reissue?

It doesnt, I have to A: bend farther to account for the give, and B: the fretted note goes then somewhat flat. This whole scenario works better...

[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Here are my strat and tele, and the same wear spots on the heel. You can tell the strat has a different undercoat than the...
