Nice, but why is the neck pickup upside down?

I believe it's all nonsense; others believe what they want to.

Excellent, dude.

Tommy is in that thin-air area of musicianship, with the likes of Chet Atkins. A GENUINE master of his trade.

SVL, you might want to consider a humbucker-sized P90, like the GFS Mean 90, so that if in the future you want a different sound, it'll be easy to do.

That was pretty effin good! And so was the amp.

Sean, keep us posted about upcoming gigs; it would be great to see you perform.

Hmmm - I'd say it was approximately as necessary as yours........

Some folks really read too much into things, and even weirder, they get upset about it.

I don't know about origins, history, theory, etc., but I do know one thing - a LOT of guitar "improvisation" is mostly comprised of popular, common and highly recycled licks.

Never been a big Gervais fan - this video hasn't changed my mind.

Sean, it looks like your guitar enthusiasm hasn't waned a bit over the years, and you keep finding and modding some interesting guitars. Glad to see you're having fun, and the newest additions look...

As on any guitar, acoustic fixed-bridge intonation is never perfect, only a compromise. But, do keep in mind that string gauge affects intonation, too, and since most modern acoustics are engineered...

Alas, a somewhat highly-debated guitar subject. Personally, I don't think fingerboard material matters all that much, except for aesthetic reasons. The tone assertions are absurd, IMO. Playability...

Excellent!

SSD, sounds like fun - lots of folks mod Epi Juniors, so I'm not really surprised. Guitar Fetish has Asian-spec parts that might work for you, like this bridge, for example:

I'm curious as to what you expect to gain with such a mod.

The Asian spec parts are not the same size as USA Gibson parts, so you'll need the correct size bridge in order to match the existing...

It's been a long time, but that sounds so familiar. All that you describe is really quite typical, and will work out over time with practice. The first weeks/months of learning guitar can be a...

But....but...but.....Tio, guitar forums aren't about pragmatism; they're about buying stuff.

I cannot count how many times I've seen people give up on learning how to play guitar, and in...

I tend to look at the Asian imports somewhat generically instead of focusing on specific brands, especially with Epiphone, where some models are made by contracted factories. The Sheratons are made...

Iconic record producer dead at 79. He was instrumental in bringing us some of the best records in history.

Have you considered buying an inexpensive guitar to learn on? That way, you can be learning and playing and at the same time be learning about different guitar brands, models, types, necks, shapes,...

Guitar Fetish has a variety of pickups at very good prices, although I'm only personally familiar with the GFS Mean 90s that I put in my Epi Dot. They're excellent, BTW, and the company has what...

I figger that new controls are a worthwhile investment if Glacies wants a reliable gigging instrument or backup.

I'm no electronics tech, but soldering isn't rocket surgery. Four CTS 500k audio taper pots, Switchcraft 3-way and jack, a couple caps (I don't put much stock in bulltique caps, personally), and some...

I think that was just for the assembly itself, not installation. Soldering the components together would only take a short while. And I think we're referring to a LP, anyway.
