Very cool.  I've seen him twice: once solo with Eric Sardinas opening, and once on G3 with Satriani and John Petrucci.  I did have tickets to his show in Flagstaff, but for some reason that got cancelled. I really like Dave Weiner as well.  His online lessons/videos are really great, and he...

Your guitar took too many drugs.

Methinks you are going into the discussion with no intention of hearing an answer which "tracks." I like relic'ed guitars because they repel bears and cure cancer. Personally, I think Jazzcasters are ugly, but I'm guessing the original poster doesn't give a wet slap how I feel about his choices.

I tried, but evidently was one of the "big photo" offenders.  For the record, it was an old iPhone 4s, but apparently still too big.  Hopefully I'll have better luck next month!

Submitted, but as another pale blue Telecaster after last month, not feeing confident!

Yep. playing with exaggerated/aggressive string bends is what I have been doing.  Do you think a buffing wheel on a Dremel would get rid of any residue on the slopes of the frets?

I got my new neck in the post last week.  I have done a preliminary build, but don't want to start any setup process before I evaluate the frets.  What is the best way to remove the finish from SS frets (maple fretboard, so frets have lacquer over them.  I don't want to use steel wool or...

Question...  Is that the "Fatback" profile?  I ended up with one of those off the Showcase and am sending it back...  The thing has no heel!  I've seen fat necks, but that seemed over the top for me. I don't have much advice on the drilling.  My first W neck was a Jackson-style and I used...

Good news/bad news... Good:  I got my shipping notice from W last night!  It's on the way!  :blob7: Bad:  Sunday I leave for Albuquerque for a 2-week onsite...  The box will sit on my dining room table until the second weekend in August.  :sad1:

I can't help as I have no Photoshop-fu, but I can say that the vendor you describe did reply to a couple of my questions, then went silent.  I ended up purchasing the "custom decal" auction, which started a new discussion.  My requirements are pretty simple...  I want a CBS-Strat style curved...

I'm not certain if this is in line with accepted protocol...  By "Work in Progress," I'm currently at the "awaiting shipping" stage. My guitar playing has been sporadic over the years.  I took some lessons when I was 13 or so, and have played off and on for the next 30 years (more off than...

I'll be damned if I can find a picture of the guitar, but do what Steve Vai did to one of his earlier strats: Rout out the inside of each horn. Cut a "monkey grip" That's gotta save at least 1/2 pound.
