No no no, if you put weight on the bottom it sucks away all your tone.

That would be absurd and perverse; a sacrilege against the higher power, who gave me the ability to create these guitars. Selling any moron a Zachary guitar would be gross disrespect towards God.

I have been fairly good about bringing earplugs to most shows I see nowadays----though I did cheat a bit and listen to one song from My Bloody Valentine with no plugs, just for the experience.

John Cippolina from The Quicksilver Messenger Service had the best SG, or worst, I can't tell anymore.

That is easy to do so I see no reason to not do it.

Also, if anyone has anything they want on the GOONtar, let me know, this is what I've written on the walls of my workshop so I don't forget (tried to take a picture, but my camera-phone won't focus)

1) Surfboard
2) Seafoam Green
3) Monkey grip
4) Dickhole (I think the dick shaped grip ticks both those boxes)
5) Ron Paul
6) Bitcoin
7) Metal Bits
8) Lots of pickups
9) [indecipherable] pick-guard headstock

There was more but I covered it with spraypaint.

I have a crazy good memory but until this thread I completely blacked out that I impulsively owned one of these for a few months when I was a teen:

That wardrobe is stacked with wood, half finished guitars and various power tools, the clothes that were in there are hanging on a string I put up in the main bedroom.

When the Mrs gets back from work, I will be stabbed.

Someone just sent this to me with the caption "Namm 2015". You now know as much as I do.

My PG-fan buddies and I watched Intense Rock a million times back in the day. There's one lick (out of many) that we love during the opening credits. It coincides with "Edited By Don Mock" coming up on the bottom of the screen, so we call it "The Don Mock Lick."

I love PG, from old Racer X to some of his crazier new stuff like "Will My Screen Door Save Me From Poseidon" and "Hurry Up."
I got interested in Paul when I saw the video for Addicted To That Rush and saw a guitarist tapping in unison with Billy Sheehan and knew I was in. That lead to Racer X (which I hated due to the singer but still fell in love with it because it was so goofy and yet terrifying). Problem for me is, the first Mr. Big album is the only one I really like. How Can You Do What You Do is one of my favorite straight rock tunes ever, but there are so many fun songs on that album, and the outro solo to Rock And Roll Over is just tear-your-face-off awesome.

My favorite quotation from that era is when they played it "In The Listening Room" for EVH and he said (paraphrasing): "It's so fast as to be incomprehensible." Then he went on to poo poo on bass players and guitar players playing in unison. Go figure.

I guess the only thing that bothers me about Paul is that he is so flawless and articulate that he comes off as mechanical and not always so musical, but he's been working on that, successfully I think, ever since he realized that the kids who were studying his videos all sounded terrible.

But yeah, of course I love Paul and I like the PGM model Ibanez a lot. Love those F Holes. I put them in Forza Horizon 4:

it's a variable resistor with a capacitor that passes higher frequencies above a certain value dependent on the pot and cap values to ground. capacitors resist lower frequencies more than higher ones- so more treble passes through to ground instead of bass if the signal is going through the cap alone. resistors as the name implies resist all frequencies the same. what turning the knob does is adjust the ratio of resistance from higher and lower frequencies so when it's all the way down, the low frequency resistance is high while the high frequency resistance is low, meaning more treble goes to ground and you get less treble coming from your guitar, and when it's all the way up, the resistance amount is very close for both higher and lower frequencies so more treble gets through

Here is how they get the signatures. Christ. Just stopping people on the street with a handful of pickguards?

Poor Wille. No wonder a lot of people are wary of signing poo poo or charge for it.

3 pegs and 4 strings. Can't explain that. Also the strings bending at a 45º angle.

The only thing that comes to mind when I see that is:



Gibson's "Authentic Hendrix" Stratocaster, which rightfully got cancelled shortly after it was announced.

I named her Ibanez.


Just kidding, I adopted her when she was 18 months old from my sister's daughters. They named her "Missy," so that's what I call her, too. They couldn't control her (they knew jack poo poo about dogs) so they were stunned when I taught her to sit on command in about five minutes. She's been with me ever since. She'll be 14 years old this October. She's got an amazing amount of energy for a lady who's basically 95+ years old.
