    New Fender Guitars for 2025 - NAMM

    My buddy Victor, aka @Strummer , got a Squier CV 50’s Tele over the summer. I had it for awhile and did a set up on it and polished the frets. The nut was too high, which is better than the slots being too low. I straightened the neck with my notched straight edge and checked the frets. Not...

    Yeah, that decal seems to cost about $160.00.

    The end of an era ...

    It’s funny, but my Origin was made in Vietnamese IIRC. Hopefully they will still make the good stuff in England.

    Not so Happy NGD - Gibson Les Paul Studio Session

    I’ve purged most of my guitars in 2024. I got rid of everything that wasn’t getting played. And most of those guitars were MIC guitars. I have two US made guitars and one MIM guitar. The rest are MIC and MIJ. I sold two vintage MIJ guitars because they were too fragile to play. If I would...

    The end of an era ...

    I have an Original 50 head with two 4x12 cabs. It’s what I call the poor man’s Plexi. It can run at 5,25, and 50 watts. No standby switch. With an MXR Distortion+ and a slight boost in front of he amp you get that Randy Rhoad’s tone from the first Ozzie album. Straight in to the amp and...

    New Celestion Peacekeeper Speaker

    Oh yeah, it’s a great gun for sure, I was just stating that it’s a Python and I am poor👍. It’s a great gun for sure. I take it with me in the woods with heavy, hard cast, full magnum rounds, and I can use .38 specials or lighter .357 magnum loads for carry in town and home defense.

    New Celestion Peacekeeper Speaker

    I went and read that article. Those were matte finished. They were the “Poor man’s Python”. I was fortunate enough to be presented a 2 1/2 inch barreled, stainless Python by my son as a late a birthday present last summer. I wouldn’t have been able to afford it myself. I guess that makes...

    New Celestion Peacekeeper Speaker

    The original Colt Peacemaker. As carried by Patton in WWII. Looks like we both were right.

    Ernie Ball Cobalt Strings

    I’ve been using them for years. They really tighten up the bass when playing through high gain. Just don’t get crazy with a powered peg winder and over tighten them accidentally. The wound strings are quite brittle, and can snap easily at the peg head when winding them up. The plain steels...

    New Fender Guitars for 2025 - NAMM

    I just checked Zzounds and the tuners and bridge on the Tele seem to be that used on the Player Tele. It looks like they are splitting the difference between the Squier CV 50’s and the player as far as hardware. The neck finish and frets are different. Med jumbo on the standard and narrow...

    New Fender Guitars for 2025 - NAMM

    Indonesia huh? Sounds like we will be getting a top notch Squier with Fender branding on the headstock. They did this once before. I wonder if this will signal end of the Classic Vibe line. They are only about 50 or 60 bucks apart. Maybe Squiers will be re tiered and be even more budget...

    Repaired my Les Paul

    One thing that O did on a red guitar that had a paint chip (it was see through red) was add a couple of drops of red food coloring to clear super glue and dab it in the chipped area with a toothpick. When you add the food coloring, you have about thirty seconds to apply it as a chemical...

    RIP John Sykes

    My Dad and Mom were both really into classic muscle cars. My dad just got rid of an 85 SS El Camino that he restored, and my mom still has a 1969 Camaro that was her daily driver until a couple of years ago.

    RIP John Sykes

    @Wound_Up you should really check out Blue Murder’s self titled first album and their second that came out in the early 90’s. I really dig Franklin’s fretless bass in Jelly Roll. Sykes was a musical genius.
