Angus and Malcolm Young...................

Angus gets the spotlight, but Malcolm really anchors the sound.

They play like they're welded together.

Does it hum without anything plugged in?

Have you tried different power outlets?

I, too, play modelling gear..................and I'm also fond of my tube amps.

Compared to modelling amps, versatile is not a term I normally attach to tube amps. Each of them has a certain...

My Strats are just other colors on the pallette - there when I need them. To paraphrase a well known guitar maker, sometimes, only a Strat is good enough.

Signed..........................................

From a gigging perspective and having to cover lots of sonic ground.......ease of use, and sounding great:

Fractal Audio's Axe FX. Not cheap by any stretch, but once learned can deliver just about...

Hmmmmm..........................

Two SG's and two LP's in the house. My SG's have every bit of sustain that my Lesters have. Sustain is a quality that's different between every individual guitar.

Thanks, folks!

This will entail a major life style change for me - coffee and alcohol are huge triggers and will be cut down to next to nothing. I also have no intentions of gorging on whatever...

I'll be honest - the real reason I'm quitting is the cost. I enjoy smoking. Its a part of my life.

I also will turn 50 next year................time to be a bit more health oriented.

Every...

I know this is not going to be easy...................and I'll never loose the craving.

But the time has come............................and I intend to make it stick.

This time, it's bone serious.....................

I have realized that it's actually cheaper to shoot heroin than it is to smoke cigarettes...................and I'm pissing away tons of money as...

I don't think you'll notice any change at all in the tone of the guitar.

I don't know........................................is your wife cool with all of this?

You might not want to come out of the room once it's done.........:dude

Looks great!

Mine are "it". I've never named a guitar.

Could have been tequila...........................Mas Tequila! :puke:

The next time a query like this comes up here, I'll just stay out of it and wait for ChO.............................

A very concise expanation that can't be argued, ChO. :dude

I'm no luthier or guitar physicist, but the notes are a function of tension and string length for a given tension. The reason you can't use just one string gauge is that the lower strings use less...

Finger strength really isn't an issue with guitars.....unless you're trying to fret a dobro.

Stamina is the issue. Can you fly around the fretboard at will for several hours without feeling...

Our first lesson is this Wednesday evening, and I have a lesson plan ready with a bunch of stuff I printed off the web for her to take home. I just hope I don't overwhelm her............I'll make it...

Well, almost........................

A friend of mine's daughter has a real fire in her belly to play guitar. He helped me out immensely on my kitchen remodel in return for me getting his daughter...

I don't buy into those finger exercisers - they're snake oil. You don't need a lot of strength with your fingers. You need touch and stamina...............and the best way to get that is to play your...

It's always great to rediscover an old friend......:dude

Looking good! Does resident sound dog approve?

How does a company like Gibson fix prices? It's their product................they can name their own prices..............

I'm just a simple guitar player. Perhaps some learned economics expert...
