I prefer Menzerna compounds over the rest. If you are dealing with swirls and not deeper scratches, here is my choice...

PRS shipped Maryland-made guitars with 9s as the standard option up through the move to Stevensville. Tens were a string change for PRS.

If you are only dealing with swirls and not deeper scratch, this is my suggestion...

My dad was from the Silent Generation (in between the Greatest Generation and the Baby Boomers). He was a Frank Sinatra/Pete Fountain kind of guy.

I have always appreciated King’s X, but they have become my favorite band. I have been a proponent of solid-state amps for a long time, especially Lab Series amps. I saw Ronnie Montrose and Gamma play at Old Chicago in the fall of 1979. Ronnie was using Lab Series amps and his tone was good, but...

They got off the fence after I showed them that I did not need to borrow the money. If I realized what I was going to be put through, I would have just paid cash. I would have hated the tax implications, but some It is just the combination of Em and its relative major G. :)

My first auditorium-size concert was Blue Oyster Cult, J. Geils, and Horslips on March 3, 1978 at the Baltimore Civic Center. It was snowing that day. Horslips was a no-show, so J. Geils opened the concert. That date was one Blue Oyster Cult's infamous laser light show gigs.

Concur! Those are my favorite PRS pickups by a large margin. The 57/08 bass is a beautiful neck humbucking pickup.

I discovered that Gibson included the wrong set of keys for my R7 as I was finishing up packing for my move today, so I decided to try all of the case keys I have collected over the years. Surprisingly, the multi-fit case key locks and unlocks a Gibson Custom LP case. That kind of took me by...

That is what happened to me as well. They did not lock me until two weeks before closing. That delay cost me more than half of point. I was not happy and threatened to take my business elsewhere, so they gave me a lower interest rate without points, but it was still higher than it had to be...

Lol!

Actually, I went into the transaction pre-approved with a different national lender because sellers will not even consider a contract offer without pre-approval today. The agent convinced me to switch to a local lender. I switched and went through the preapproval stage months ago with the new...

Well, to let everyone in what prompted this thread, I have been in the process of settling on a house. To say that the lender put me through the meat grinder is an understatement (I have more money at stake than they do, which is insane). If I would have known that getting through approval was...

The whole premise of the 85/15 is flawed. I could care less if a humbucking pickup splits well. My Strats sound and respond better than any humbucking PRS pickup in split-mode. The PRS approach to single-coil tones is a compromise and that compromise comes at the cost of having a great...

I am not a fan of 85/15 pickups in any incarnation. They are jack of all trades, master at none pickups. They are just meh sounding to me. I have them in my 2019 CE-24, but I am too lazy to swap them out for a different set of pickups. I have 57/08s in my Mira Korina. I would put 57/08s up...

All of the responses are good. I am an anal, demanding kind of guy, which makes me not everyone's cup of tea. If you want to visualize me, think Sheldon Cooper, minus the atrocious people skills, wrapped in a middle linebacker's body, albeit an aging middle linebacker. That is quite the...

Let's start off with the fact that I absolutely despise procrastinators. I have dumped every woman with whom I have ever been involved who was a procrastinator. I absolutely loathed being put on a team with a known procrastinator in graduate school and at work. I have zero tolerance for...

Tubes amps are louder than solid-state amps partly because they dissipate more than their rated wattage when pushed. That is absolutely true a 50W Marshall can disspate 75W when it pushed causing it to switch from class AB to class B. However, a 50% increase in power is barely audible. It is...

Les, I mean no disrespect, but you appear to be stuck in mid-sixties to mid-seventies guitar tone mode. That is nothing wrong with that preference, but it does not work for all styles of music. Guitar has changed quite a bit from that point in time and not all tube amps are elastic. In fact...

His amps are the best of the best with respect to solid-state. I owned a MicroPro Mach 2-8 for over a year. I liked the amp, but the digital reverb circuit was too noisy for me. The noise appears to be specific to the Mach 2. There are two things I do not like about Quilter amps. The first...
