Snowy posted:Hello new thread, I look forward to lurking and occasionally talking about which guitars look cool and how much fun it is to play nothing but power chords with too much distortion That's a dumb thing to post about because you can't play power chords with "too much" distortion.

Dr. Faustus posted:This is really pretty. Andy Timmons on TPS playing through a couple Mesa Lone Stars and demoing his pedals. I've set the video to start when Andy begins playing a piece, and it's fun because the TPS guys get emotional. The video is really sweet because there is clearly a sincere musical connection and friendship going on here. What you won't be able to tell from the video right away is they're running the amps into that 2x12 cab loaded with EVs, and it's cranked pretty loud. Andy Timmons is so outstanding I can't fathom just how good he actually is. If that makes any sense at all.

landgrabber posted:i was doing a string change yesterday and there’s no divot on the 3rd fret B string, but there are high up on the G string. Learning how to do simple fret stuff is a skill that will likely serve you well. Sandpaper, leveling "thing" (block, beam, whatever), and a crowning file (you can get idiot proof ones like StewMacs z-file to dirt cheap triangle files) and you can fix that stuff yourself in a few minutes.

landgrabber posted:it started with a buzzy B string on only the third fret, which truss rod adjustments wouldn’t fix (and i never did more than a quarter turn at a time). That sucks. Something to keep in mind for the next guitar / if you ever re-fret: stainless steel frets seem like something that would benefit you. They are hard as all get out and so you won't divot / flat spot them.

I sell my patented Tone Spit in convenient spray bottles. I happen to consume the optimal mix of black coffee and lemon lime seltzer each day to produce a mix that both cleans, conditions, and enhances your fretboards tonal characteristics.

Agreed posted:I wouldn't use superglue for that, might damage the wood next time it needs to be removed and nuts don't last forever. that's why you only use two little drops.

Agreed posted:Better to use something else water soluble and still also use very little. Superglue isn't a good choice there. Guess that Dan Erlewine must not know what he's doing then.

Agreed posted:After watching that video it seems pretty clear to me that Dan is a smart fella, and I'm taking a break from rebuilding my pedal board to get rid of noise and had a minute. Turns out Google Books has his 1994 guitar repair guide "Guitar Player Repair Guide." Here's what he wrote there, page 224: Yeah, use whatever you want. Note that he doesn't mention damaging the wood as the reason not to use it though, but the longer working time is definitely a point in favor of using Elmer's / titebond, etc. But from now on I solemnly swear to never recommend two tiny drops of superglue to anyone else.

duodenum posted:Alternate tunings are just neat excuses to have another guitar set up for that tuning specifically just in case someone walks in and demands you play Mayonnaise and you don't have time to gently caress with the Floyd Rose. Fun / Stupid fact: back in the late 80s before there was the web and I was teaching myself guitar, I learned The Rain Song by ear (or as close as I could) in standard tuning because it had never occurred to me that one could tune a guitar to something else.

Red_Fred posted:This is a good post! Walk in, say “when are you going to discount that again, because I’ll come in and buy one”. It may turn our that it just so happens they were going to discount it again tomorrow, but they’ll give it to you today. Then again they may be moving them like hot cakes and you’ll have to wait a while.

Disco Pope posted:I passed in the end. (Very brief, but relevant E/N) I quit drinking recently, and any money that would have been spent in a bar or on a bottle of wine is going into a guitar fund, so the promise of a G&L, Reverend or maybe even an SG is keeping me from craving a cheeky pint and it feels a bit early to break into that fund for an impulse buy. Quitting drinking is like getting a second (or in my case second, third, and fourth) job. Suddenly you have money! Congrats, and as someone who is now 15 years sober, it's the best thing I ever did. PMs are open if you (or anyone else) ever need help / advise on that journey.

Get a 335 and enjoy shorter scale length and less string tension.
