Wow, I'd be afraid to have someone leave a glass or cup ring on that gorgeous piece!

I love it when a plan comes together! I think some guitar techs might be a lot like orthopedic surgeons and get a God complex or something. I know way more Orthopods than the average bear and have come across a couple techs that are really full of themselves in much the same way. Good ones are...

"I'm so confused!" Vinnie Barbarino I do like the "onebucker" quip though "Dood, I almost had you!" "You, almost had...ME? You were never in it!"

I can only guess at the situation as I'll likely never be in it. But for me, I crap razor blades if I have to leave any guitar in the case locked in my truck in the small town I live in. I also agree with Sergio though, any guitar deserves to be played no matter how it arrives there, especially...

The sun is shining pretty brightly today. Just had a call from my dealer and I will have a NGD post soon. Just how soon remains a bit of a mystery, but it's within reach now. Now if I can keep my sanity for a couple more weeks...:p

Currently rekindling my feels for Boston. I was always digging their sound, but I'm "hearing" more of what's inside of it now. Call me a dinosaur, but I like the old way of doing things sometimes. I have a friend that knew Tom rather well and didn't like him as a person. I said he doesn't have...

A loooong time back I went to see ZZ Top in their first live appearance in Edmonton. Being of the age I was at the time and the typical extra curricular activities and various "mood enhancers" of the day the crew and I were quite excited to head to the big smoke and experience the vibe for real...

Nice find! Bigsby's are kind of attractive to me, I have a bit of a ham fist tendency. I think it became part of me from packing 1/4's of beef over my shoulder for 30 years.

I believe that. I know before I had my sponsor stickers and Nicky Hayden's number on my race bike it was a good 100th of a second per lap slower with plain #R258 Honda red...:p

About the only thing musically I'd compare that twerp to is the subject of an old Jim Stafford tune: "Yippee Yi Yay...." Philly, my bad for going a bit pear shaped on your thread....

Momma always taught me to tell the truth...enough whacks with the wooden spoon will make sure it's engrained.;) Justin Bieber is Canadian too, don't make him worth squat in my world.:D (we really need a "puke" emoticon)

I call it "comfortable" :D

Welcome Freshante. We have a resident Vela buff here so he's yer guy for info on them. I will defer all other comments to Himself...

Nicely done! I heard a group called Mahogany Rush do a rendition of that a long time ago as an opening act for Nazareth (I think, was about a hundred years ago) and they really juiced it up, and personally I think they blew it completely.

Excellent! Glad you made it happen. And I take it back...I am jealous...em, just a wee bit. ;)

Sounds to me like that tech needs a proper set up himself.

My friend did, I watched. I'm wasn't/not knowledgeable enough to tackle that by myself. It's on my growth list but I'm not there yet. I still get the shakes changing strings but I'm getting better. One of my co-workers changed the pickups in his Squire himself and I watched him do it. Not...

I'm no guitar tech, but he "said" the neck was curved and offered no options on how to address it? I thought that is what truss rods and their adjustments were for....? I had to tweak mine a couple years ago and it was almost invisible to me. A gigging friend had never played a PRS before and...

Always good to rely on some more "expert" advice and guidance. From my point of view you have found a jewel to take pride in. That top/finish is gorgeous!

Welcome 50. I must say that you didn't spare the horsepower coming out of the gate! This is just a personal opinion, but while it's an eventuality (and a necessity) to dip into the theory pool, don't let it override the enjoyment factor in the learning process. True, while modes and the...
