Roasted is more stable, at the expense of being more brittle.

It's a question I've also pondered. My guess is there is typically less mass in the bridge, and perhaps more significantly, hardtails don't vibrate with the strings like a bridge attached to springs will. IOW, there is no dampening effect when the strings are plucked, and usually any dampening...

yes yes After those, pickup swap. Also, is this guitar the only hardtail of the group? Hardtails often sound brighter than their trem-equipped counterparts IME. Love the DSL40-CR. Great amp! If all your other guitars sound good through it, I wouldn't look to a speaker swap as a remedy. Fix...

You know....seriously....thank-you for noticing that. I often pepper my videos with little nuggets of comedy gold that go completely unnoticed and unappreciated, so it's nice to see one acknowledged. In other YouTube news today, I got called an ignorant "young squirt" by a very mean-spirited...

It was supposed to go live next week, but it's getting bumped back a week for a special announcement of sparkly Thanksgiving magic.

OTOH, the shape of the heel as it transitions to the neck looks very Warmoth. A "C" shape, rather than the "V" that most mfgrs use. The auctioneers were pretty thorough about mentioning Warmoth by name wherever it applied, so maybe it's not, but you don't see that C shape very often IME. It...

LOL. His gear exploits are pretty legendary, and he seems like sort of a - how you say - free spirit when it comes to bookkeeping. I bet that person hated tax season.

Oh, heck yes.

Thanks! I can't claim credit for this one. It was suggested to me by the Warmoth brass.

Another data point: Since doing this video a couple years ago I have had the chance to compare the 78's to the Slash 2.0. Without a doubt the 78 has more bass and highs, and is more scooped in the mids. The Slash 2.0 has less bass, and more upper mid content. At this point in my journey I have...

Wow.....Joe Walsh is auctioning off pretty much all his gear! I knew he was a gear hound, but the amount of stuff is truly mind-boggling. He's been a Warmoth customer over the years, so I went through the auction and found a fair amount of Warmoth! Might be neat to have one or two “Joe Walsh...

And what's up with him counting the frets before every show? LOL. Has anyone figured that out yet?

Nope, Warmoth has never made that Specter style body. Ironically, Scotti is a pretty avid Warmoth user though. He has played lots of Warmoth builds over the years.

I strive to be the sweetest and most courteous crusher of dreams I can be.
