I managed to get to Sharpshooter, before...

    Yeah, they’re rude too. Just like me. Play a clam? Everybody will hear it. Leave out a note? Everybody will notice. Stab notes to death like Roy Buchanan? You’ll earn yourself a nickname. Ask me how I know.

Some cobalt flat wound, or Reg Slinky, or Classic (nickel wound) Slinky. They feel very similar ( same setup), except my SG, which sticks out to...

    Meeting with the FujiGen Founder Family [ FGN (FujiGen) Guitars Information Thread ]

    Interesting stuff! Wasn’t much of a history kid, unless I could relate to it. After my military service I became very interested in the history of various technologies (I was an electronics technician in the US Navy), and broadened my interests in history in general. Very cool thread! 🤙

    Most famous never was that ever was

    Hey howdy, Known as Sonar1 at MLP. Been around various bulletin board type guitar pages since I retired from my day job in 2008, usually as “Rusty Chops” (an old stage name in the local weekend warrior club wars), or “YettoBlaster” similarly. Was a Tele guy for decades, but branched out to Les...

    How many hours do you practice each day ?

    Rare day when I don’t play for an hour or so at some point. I couch noodle a lot. I play with friends as much as possible: sometimes in a nursing home or park gathering. Have to keep my claws lubricated, otherwise I become The Tin Man.
