I'm curious how long it takes to dig that backup pick out of the trussrod cover mid set...

Sorry, bro! I'm new at them. I find it easier to give them a tug using this method.

Pretty sure this is intentional for sympathetic resonance, like the drone strings on a sitar.

Could they get away with that kind of research today?

Also, I now have Winged in my stable after my recent CE acquisition. Haven't had them since I moved my CU22 Soapy on!

They're on a beautiful guitar too...

That pick holder though!

 

[Elliot]

saw this post and then saw the actual listing on reverb later. It is on a really beautiful guitar. In fairness, I've never touched winged tuners and have no idea how to string them but I do know how to use youtube.

For the love of Bacchus I hope not. That's a flavor of "creative" that I do not wish to sample.

Which naturally reminds me of this.
