 I got a new guitar! Sounds like a bucket of rusty farts, but it was thirty bucks. I walked in the door expecting the guy to say something closer to 90, so when he said 30 I didn't even hesitate to say gimme the thing.  Anyone know what that logo is under the American Idol logo? I'm sure it's nothing impressive, but I still wanna know.

Dewgy posted:oh poo poo, i like this If you use single-core shielded wiring, put aluminum tape (or glue some foil in with chewing gum, whatever works) in the control cavity and ground to that rather than the bridge it will help with the noise, though a lot of the buzz is probably from the built-in amp. Of course, you could always put in a CB radio and hook the bridge up so the strings would act like an antenna....

I have a fret buzz at exactly one string at the 12th fret. Time to bust out the file not? Also a local used gear store has a kahler equipped poo poo stick for $60. It's hard to resist.

You can also buy solid pickup covers really cheap if you look around.

I mean I do like the 432 Hz version of this more, and 440 Hz wasn't the set standard for A until the 50's so I find it interesting to listen to the music that might have been composed at a slightly lower tuning. But holy poo poo all the people talking about how this has healing properties and is in tune with Earth's natural frequencies.

I played in a terrible jamband for years, and I can't tell you how many awful conversations about this nonsense I was dragged into by dudes in other bands or burnouts at the shows. Jamband people are worse than Bluesdads.

Is there a trick to pulling strat-style polepieces up without taking the strings and pickguard up? I'm trying to balance the H and S on my Venus, and can't seem to do it with just moving the pickup screws.

My stepfather had a copy of Trower's For Earth Below LP back in the day, I liked it as a young person just discovering guitar music. In fact, I'd say the title track, which feels like a nearly note-for-note rewrite of Bridge of Sighs, is better than Bridge, simply because it gets easier to do something the second time around. I don't think he's a revolutionary player but I don't really hate the guy. But I do know two things whenever I meet someone who's into Bonamassa, A, they're a better guitarist than me, and B, they're an insufferable prat. content - I like stompboxes, but holy gently caress, dude.
