Wayne Charvel lost his guitar workshop and home in the California fires. Really awful. That’s the link to their gofundme if anyone would like to help out.

Anybody ever swapped out a blade switch tip on a PRS SE? I got a generic import Strat-style tip and it doesn't even slightly fit, the slot is much too wide. Is there some wacky size that only PRS uses?

Could you shim the blade with tape or a piece of rubber band? Probably worth trying to make it fit

What's the model of the acoustic? I have an FG-340 from the early 80s.

Seriously jonesing for a Tele. I know that's mostly going to sound the same as my Pacifica, and I'm a newbie who sucks, but I just love how they look.

I wonder if I would be hard done doing a nicer Squier or holding out for a used MIM Fender.

CV looks like it fits the bill.

I’m a little wary of not having an HB, since part of me wants guitars that can be anything. But I also have a Pacifica already, so the Tele can be itself. It’s probably not even a big deal at any rate.

I’ll see if GC has any I can try.

That's a Custom, they might not necessarily be using the same body for the CV50s.

Edit: Never mind, there's a bunch of CV50s in the "similar listings" tab that also show a neck HB rout.

Mostly he's just noodling over E major. There's a lot of licks and chords that use lots of extensions, so if you're interested in those kinds of sounds I would explore sus chords, as well as 11 and 13 chords.

It's Neo-Soul stuff. Kind of jazzy, kind of Hip-hoppy, bit of Gospel, smooth RnB/Soul jams, and extremely massive on Instagram.

GC didn't have a classic vibe around. Hell they only had a little section for Teles period. Strat seems to be king.

I can't get over how purty those shiny necks are. Even the beat up floor models seem to play nicer than the one I have already, I think I'll take a stab at truss rod adjustment and see if I can't lower the action a little bit. I hope the switches on a non-demo model aren't spongey.

I did that with my bullet strat and it helped a ton. It's pretty easy.

Although, I have a physics degree and I still have to look up which direction to turn the screw to fix the intonation.

Would you guys have an opinion on the smaller Orange Crush stuff (looking at a used 20RT combo) vs a Boss Katana Mini as a bedroom amp? I was looking at stuff around $100 and can find the 20 watt Crushes used for that here.

It's definitely not Satriani. My first guess was Tony Macalpine but it doesn't appear to be any of his either.
