I was thinking about picking one of those up when Anderton's put them on offer. What colour did you get?

Get some of those sticky back felt pads that go on the feet of furniture to stop them scratching the floor. I've stuck one of those to the trem block in the narrow gap between the block and the body, then I tightened the claw slightly. This way you have a dive-only trem but because the pad is...

It will definitely feel slightly different as the trem gives a little when you bend. That it actually makes it easier to bend up a certain amount is a misconception I believe. As the trem moves, the strings slacken and the pitch drops, meaning you have to physically bend slightly further to...

The bolt-ons sort of bridge the gap between S2 and core already. Some key core-level appointments like pickups, electronics, nut etc. but with more simple body carves and other cost-saving specs. The CE's, SS's and Fiores all sit somewhere in and around that 2-2.5k price point as well which...

If you can’t tell, does it matter? ;)

It’s against Theatre Rules to dream in the theatre. The theatre cops take the Theatre Rules very seriously, especially the one about dreaming in the the theatre.

As far as I understand it, one of the coils in the MT’s has extra turns on it which are only engaged when in split/single coil mode. In humbucking mode, the overwound coil is tapped, excluding the extra turns and leaving you with two equal coils. As a humbucker, the MT should in theory be the...

I'm not a huge fan of how spread out the controls are on most models. On stoptail guitars it's not a problem at all, but if you've got a trem arm, it's almost always in the way of at least one of the controls wherever you leave it. This can sometimes make it difficult to change something quickly...

o_O That is stunning. What's the name of that colour?

Relic-ing is pretending to have an old guitar. These stickers are pretending to be relic-ing. So these stickers are pretending to pretend to have an old guitar...

I've always been under the impression that the TCI process is basically a more considered selection of components - specifically pots - when wiring up the guitar. What they started doing on the Silver Sky is taking readings on individual pots, and matching them with certain pickups such that the...

I believe this finish is called badass red smokeburst. I could be wrong, but I don’t think I am.

I’ve always thought SG’s look a bit goofy the way the next is sort of just stuck on the end of the body and sticks out so much, and it sure doesn’t help with neck dive. I was going to suggest a vela because the offset shape puts the horn a little more to the left, which would in turn sort of...

The guitars are nice, but the pre-facelift DB9 is still one of the most beautiful cars ever made
