I'm using them at the moment (10s and 10.5s depending on instrument, pure nickels). They're nice, feel good, but ... differences in string brands are subtle to me, at most. But yeah, I like the company too.

This thread is kinda dated now but... The dreaded spot doesn't bother me as much anymore. It is still there but seems to come and go in intensity as the weather changes and I adjust intonation and stuff, like @JJJ said. Someone should make a TRC from lead and see if that helps without being a...

I'm 8 days past my 2nd Pfizer shot. I felt pretty junky the first 2 or 3 days, lightheaded and fatigued. My wife (went on same day) was similar but a little worse. We're both about normal now.

I am picky about intonation and probably do a fine check/adjust once a month (or when it’s audibly out of whack). My guitars do seem a bit sensitive to the environment in my house too. 2 of my 3 electrics also have a slight buzzy/pinched sound on high E and B around the 3rd fret (including my...

I'm now up to 3! I like Les' pattern strap a lot, but these wide and thick leather straps are really comfortable once they get some wear on them.

Love, love, love!

Ooh, me too, me too! This is about 9m old, kept on a wall hanger - it doesn't get direct sunlight but the room does get light in the morning. I don't think it has changed since I got it. The photo is a little yellow though (the wall is whiter than it looks in the photo, for example).

I say who cares about the label - that top is sizzling! And I like your description of it's tones. Grats!

YES! That looks so nice. Great choice.

I keep looking at the 70th anniversary Broadcasters, then I get that feeling... that chill... ice picks in the back of my head... the fearsome glower of SWMBO. Of course I also look at HBII's. I am doomed.

I am embarrassed to admit that I don't think I've ever played a Tele.
