    NGD!! McSoapy, Clean and Natural

    It shows remarkably little evidence of having been played. The guy I bought it from told me he hardly ever touched it and the original owner must have forgotten he had it :D Pretty pristine for a 20 year old guitar. As much as it pains me to be separated from her, she goes in tomorrow for a...

    Cool score! Hope you warm up to the neck. I feel you though, I’ve moved several guitars lately primarily because I wasn’t playing them due to the neck shape.

    PRS SE Swamp Ash Special!

    Because of the pickup configuration and switching, the SE SAS can get much more Strat or Tele like than either of the others, while still kicking ass as a dual-humbucker guitar. Not a better or worse thing, just different. The SAS also has more "snap" to my ears than a Cu24 or a Standard. My...

    Random. No more or less

    My son is a hard core mountain biker, and you will want a helmet with MiPS certification despite the claims that MiPS isn't as effective as they want you to believe. Regardless, these helmets tend to be made the the best current standards

    Random. No more or less

    Last day at my current job. We spend a lot of hours in this life playing the work game, I want to spend the last chapter of my professional career enjoying what I do. It's a little late to become a rock star so I'm going back to my former industry, where I'm at least reasonably well liked. ;)

    Thank you!

    Who are you???? 😜 Good to have you around. This place is remarkably welcoming if you conduct yourself with a modicum of human decency. Perplexing then as to why they let me stay, but still...

    Another moon landing for... some people not to believe

    Do we even know if Bigfoot needs the space helmet? Are we sure they need an Earth atmosphere to survive? Come to think of it, is Bigfoot really just a Wookie who missed his flight out?

    How long did it take you to become proficient at playing the guitar?

    Proficiency by whose standard? I mean, I'm not there by ANY standard ;)- but it's kind of subjective, right? I know that I wouldn't describe my playing as proficient "enough" by my measure, because there's a place I'd like to be that I haven't reached. But I've played live gigs since the...

    Tuning peg screws keep coming out on their own my core DGT

    So we're talking about the screws for locking then?

    Tuning peg screws keep coming out on their own my core DGT

    Crap, I was hoping someone else would ask the stupid question. OK, why not... Are you talking about the thumbscrews for the locking tuners that lock the string in place, or the screws than mount the tuner to the back of the headstock? If it's the locking tuner screws, I wouldn't Loctite...

    How Long You Been Playing?

    There is no linear concept of time which can accurately pinpoint a specific moment at which I began playing. I just sort of eased into it over 40 years or so.
