Check out the interview I did with Scotti Hill of Skid Row. Just posted it on the Warmoth blog. He was such a genuine and nice guy. I'm a fan!
dittoNice! Although I'm not a fan of the band I read it with interest.
Interesting. Looked at the blog. Read about the other musician. I didn't know about Becker. Bronze guitar is cool. The blog needs an article about how to build a guitar without your wife knowing about it. Nah probably not a good idea.
I'm lucky; my wife has never given me a hard time about my Warmoth purchases.
Matthias Wandel recently made a video and left a chuck key in his lathe. His next video was 'I found out how to really drive viewer engagement on Youtube!' Followed by 'Just how far can it hurl a chuck key'. (It was rather disappointing. Not saying freak accidents can't occur, or that you shouldn't follow best practices, but I think the major danger is damage to the ways))But it brought lots of eyeballs to the Warmoth site, that's for sure.
i want to preface what I'm going to say with this: i do not think you are sexist, i don't think that blog post was in terribly poor taste, and I think a lot of the reaction was over the top (often by the same kind of rubes who would take a The Onion article at face value),Yep. My wife not only doesn't give me a hard time, but avidly encourages me to get the things I need/want for my passion.
It's funny, when I wrote that article, I got a lot of hate. People accused me of being deceitful and a misogynist. When I pointed out that I had been happily married for 35 years and that it was just a bit of light-hearted fun they came back with accusations of gaslighting and said that just because my wife was a party to the offense didn't make it OK.
But it brought lots of eyeballs to the Warmoth site, that's for sure.
I was just thinking that it's kind of like really bad band reviews. Sometimes the review is so bad that you just need to see the band to see what's really up.Yep. My wife not only doesn't give me a hard time, but avidly encourages me to get the things I need/want for my passion.

While this is 100% true, I've always been amazed at the number of guitar players (some very good) that know almost nothing about guitars. They can tune it up & play it, but must have someone else do adjustments and repairs or swap a pickup. I've been doing all that stuff myself for the past 30+ years. Now if I could just learn how to play...practicing your technique and craft will always outweigh obsessing over what metal your trem block is made of lol

Baffling.
