Oh yeah I have a probably dumb question - what's the point of two-wood necks on guitars/basses? My friend asked me why my bass had that at some point and I honestly didn't know and hadn't even paid attention to that when I was trying it in the store. Does it actually have a structural purpose or is it just a cosmetics/"MY TONEZ" thing?

Cosmetic, mostly, but multipiece necks are a good way to reinforce necks without using higher quality woods, which can cut down on material costs.

I'd be right there with you on that. My parents had me listening to Detroit's WOMC motown stuff growing up and driving with my dad on the truck routes near Windsor.

I also own a relic'd Mexican Tele. Let me tell you about the toll a year and a half out of production can take on a guitar. :downs:

I've been submerging myself in Motown music lately. I remember growing up listening to it on the oldies station my grandma always had on in her car. Always made me so happy, I'm sure in some way it subconsciously formed the musician in me early on. Coming back to the music now there's an amazing sense of nostalgia to go with my appreciation of how on point all of those guys and girls were. So much talent and feeling in that scene and it's infectious.

I emailed you back by the way. You've got a killer tone going on there :)

I was surprised with the Cabronita pickup as well. Here's a beater Tele (2013 MIM) I'll probably do something similar to since the PO tried to "relic" it. I also wouldn't mind leaving a beater Tele with the band stuff.

Are there any other guitars you guys would recommend making renderings for? I've got lots more templates but there is no way I can make renderings for all of them.

I have J and P Basses, I feel like there are more other popular basses.

Stingray bass? It's mostly pickguard. Les Paul little pickguard overlays?

Could also venture into headstock overlays :can:

(I'm in the UK anyway but) I'm a filthy scoundrel who uses a humbucker in my tele neck, have you considered either accommodating odd shapes like that or would the stickers (e: not stickers?) be relatively easy to just cut into the right shape?

yikes MB is pretty rough. unfortunately afaik there isn't and really never has been anything there. the only bands/people I have seen from there were hxc kids that came to cola just to fight at shows and a pop punk band that used the stage to call people pussy and human being left and right.

if you wanna make a day trip to columbia for a show, we have a few good ones coming up including my bands "reunion" show. but I'll ask around about mb a friends band played there recently I believe

I fucking hate puzzles.
Anyone able to sound off on Guitar Fetish Gold Foil Humbuckers? I'm planning on ordering a new set of pickups for my old Epiphone Les Paul and installing a split tap because I figure why not get my first excursion in the innards of a guitar to be as convoluted and confusing as possible.

Right now I'm debating on if I want to get the Gold Foils or Crunchy Pats. Is it fair to say that the Crunchy Pats are more of a traditional rock tone and the Gold Foils lean more toward Jazz and mellow tunes? Wildcard option in my minds eye for pickups would be saying gently caress it and buying their silly lipstick humbuckers(I dig the demo sound, but I'm also planning on lipsticks on my Malden when I get around to it and kind of don't want the same kind of pickup on both guitars though).

Edit: Is anyone able to explain tone differences between Alinco, Ferrite, and Alinco V based pickups? They sell gold foils in each of those varieties and I'm not down on guitar specific electronics to be able to think out the differences.

I'm one of the weirdos that left his LP pick guard on and I just put in an order for an LP skin. So you've made one sale off of it at least.

I meant it as a tepid joke because both use full-ish chords, like Where Dead Angels Lie from Dissection, and i've been loving around with using more 7th chords than usual when goofing around, but that sounds like leftover crack's awesome little brother.

The jazz thing is 100% true.

It proves itself to me when I decide most jazz is boring and too hard to learn for not enough reward and I spend weeks listening to and play old rock and metal and eventually put on some Bright Size Life or something and question why I ever betrayed the beautiful genre. I'm always moving towards jazz ideas when I want to improve my hands and ears and mind.

Blues is better though.
