Hah, well played Max! But seriously, I don't know any guitarist who tunes exactly to their tuner (or pitch-pipe, or keyboard, or harmonica (me) or whatever...) and then just plays. Regardless of Just or True intonation, I'm sure we all intonate a little differently to please our own ears. I'm...

Both my Tele and my Strat have them. Personally, I enjoy the effect it gives to the open strings. Also, I my twisted mentality, I figure if my saddles are metal, why shouldn't my nut be too? lol But seriously, lubicate the nut and you should have no issues with the trem. Also, slide guitar...

Awesome thread. As The Artist Formerly Known as Firebird Floyd (TAFKAFF) lol, any discussion of Firebirds really gets me going. Personally, I find the balance issue is negligable, so long as my strap is seated right. Comfort-wise, Firebirds are a dream. Finally, the large headstock may not work...

That is such a dirty, sexy guitar... I am jealous, sir, congrats. One question; what's the weight like on that filthy, filthy girl? (lol) Cheers

Alright, Poison-slurs aside,( :laughing3:) some guitars just NEED Bigsby's. And when it comes to hardware, I'm either a Chrome/Nickel or Gold kinda guy, so I went with Chrome here. It just seems to me you can only use black hardware (Valentina excepted) on all-black guitars, but that's just my...

IMHO, Don't Recess. I did it on my Blackbird, and while it is a neat feature, (You can do the whole Dimebag-turn-the-arm-backwards-and-squeal thing), the cons of recessing outweigh the pros. (BTW, these are the same cons you encounter with any other floating trem, but because of the recess, the...

Hey Guys, Sorry about the no-reply, way busy. Anyway, my POG doesn't have a battery, so that's not the case. Also, I dissembled and check the jacks, and they seem secure and clean, as does the switch. (No beer either, unlike my Tele, which has had a few brew-baths in its day.) I bought it at...

Hey guys, So I bought an Electro-Harmonix Micro Pog in New York City 2 summers ago. It worked great for the faint harmonies/organ swells I used it for. Anyway, about a week ago I fired up my rig after some time away from it, and...nothing. I quickly isolated and tested each pedal, (Guitar->EH...

Haha sorry Cletus, I indeed should have linked! Here's my "celebratory" creation;

Hey Guys, Just got the urge to check back on Frank Montag's wonderful LP sim, and... IT'S BACK!!! (There goes my Saturday lol) Cheers,           Floyd

Oh heck yeah, "Caoineadh Cu Chulainn"!!!! Probably my favorite Uilleann pipes song, next to U2's "Tomorrow" lol Cheers

Awesome, at least there's an available adaptation! lol Thanks, Floyd

Hey all, Alright so, weird as it seems, I prefer the Narrow/Import string spacing on my Strat, which is 2-1/16". (Standard string spacing is 2-3/16") Now I've looked all over the website, and I can't find anything that says W will drill this spacing. But just in case, can anyone verify if I...

12 guage...like mah shotgun...lol I use D'Addario EXL145 (12's with a plain 3rd) on all my electrics (Strat, Tele and Blackbird). I prefer to use GHS Boomers in 12's, (also with a plain 3rd), but they're getting harder and harder to find for some reason. On my acoustics, I almost always use...
