Just want to share an interesting experience. Yesterday I sat down with my two favorite guitars, two superstrats, and compared the necks on them focusing purely on how they feel. One has a Warmoth neck (quartersawn maple neck and fretboard) and the other has a Halo neck (maple neck and...

Man, this chrome pickups thing starts to grow on me. I'm thinking of my future bass (I think I talk about it a little too much, but anyways...), and I'm between a 80s flashy color with black pickguard and hardware, and a black body, cream pickguard and chrome hardware and pickups. Class!! Your...

Haven't ruined a neck so far but I've ruined two entire bodies in the past. Thankfully they were cheap. One was a cheap replacement body and the other an old squier stagemaster or showmaster body. I'm still thinking whether it's possible to repair them. Good to know all this by the way, thanks...

So cool! Love hi-fi stuff. My father gave me an old Pioneer amplifier from 1980 and a CD player from the 90s since he doesn't use them anymore, he also learned to play music from the smartphone and the Bluetooth speaker 😜.

I checked the DiMarzio Relentless pickups. They have Jazz Bass versions too. This summer or the Fall, I'm making a Warmoth Jazzmaster Bass IV with jazz bass pickups. I'll get these pickups for it. I remember when I was rehearsing with friends many years ago, one time we used a Yamaha bass in...

Yes! I've watched all his interviews at Masters Of Shred and he's the best guy ever! And an 80s legend!

Gotta love Billy! He's a tinkerer:

Speaking of AI, I wrote this on guitar pro. In fact I run Linux so it's TuxGuitar. This is the .wav audio of the midi output from the software. It's not a full song, just a couple of meters on repeat. https://suno.com/s/DPLATBcgkzi2llZv I put it into Suno and spat out this in seconds...

Here's a high mass tele humbucker bridge, set up for both string through and top-loading. But the price is kind of massive. https://www.vandykeharms.com/product/van-dyke-harms-telecaster-humbucker-hybrid-bridge-and-compensated-saddle-set/
