    Whats the meaning of your Avatar/ handle?

    My avatar is a Gibson Moderne. It's a dividing subject but I love the way the Moderne looks; it's like an art deco spaceship. Drop the "E" and you're left with "The Modern Dance". This is a word-for-word reference to an album and a song by Cleveland art punk group Pere Ubu. They're one of my...

    California Redwood as body wood (NOT just laminate top)

    Well then. Guess this stuff is going back in the corner. Still want to do a Moderne build eventually though. Maybe splicing some Warmoth blanks together will do the trick.

    More options for Snakehead

    Why is the Snakehead the most restricted neck/headstock style out of all the options Warmoth offers? I get that it's a replica of a component of a historic instrument, but not everybody will use it for that purpose. Maybe someone wants a Snakehead with Pau Ferro and Bubinga, a 12" radius...

    Post what you're listening to!

    I'm a young guy. Under 20. First time I heard RFTT, I was blown away. It was almost like the perfect blend of blues, Beefheartian avant-garde, and embryotic punk. Like Devo if they had gone in the opposite direction. Needless to say, anything involving David Thomas or Peter Laughner is now a...

    Shaps6 struck gold with that top  :o I have never seen grains appear to intersect at perpendiculars before.

    Toronado Body

    There are two of those suckers at a Sam Ash store about 20 minutes from my place. I love the open-wah-like sound you can get from the pickups being out of phase.

    Ed Roman vs Zachary Guitars

    Who would win in a battle of galaxy-sized egos? What would happen if you stuck them in the same room together?

    Is it possible lop the last two frets off a 24 fret Strat neck?

    They're attached to the rest of the neck. If you cut them off, you run the risk of compromising the neck joint. Just keep them on.

    California Redwood as body wood (NOT just laminate top)

    A redwood Moderne is PRECISELY my plan! Bright and Tele-esque are right up my alley! I'm probably going to stick some GFS humbuckers into it, either KMZVs or Retrotrons. I'll start posting pictures once the project is underway. Building one is undoubtedly going to be less expensive than...

    In defense of vintage MIJ "junkers"

    Last Christmas I told you all about a Teisco E-110 that was gifted to me and I proceeded to fix up into playable condition. I still have the old thing, and between then and now it has acquired a sibling: A 1967 Silvertone-branded K4L. I bought it at a chain music store, and they brought it to...
