I have one of these on the wall in the guitar room ( its in the basement ). a couple weeks /year when its very cold the room will get down to around 40% , then I leave a wet towel draped over a music stand over night . I put it on the wall next to the door so I see the humidity level everytime I go in & out.

" and I'll bet some idiot(s) got canned" one could only hope it was Henry and that arrogant woman that gave the tour I was on in Memphis 2011

I think you should use whatever makes you feel good , and not care about what anyone else uses. because feeling good about your tone is all that matters . whatever anyone else uses to achieve tonal bliss shouldnt matter at all.use whatever tool feel right, there is no absolute right or wrong

enjoyed lookin at all them pretty guitars , I got nothin to compare , but I really like the traditional flamed sunbursts and korina Vs

he was so good and musically a breath of fresh air for me back in the late 80s early 90s

I like the stadium pic , very thick but light weight and fast for flatpickin , I hold a pick and finger pick with 2nd and 3rd fingers as well, for that it felt a little awkward ( maybe because of the thickness ), but I could see havin about 4-5 of each on my amp for gigs

pretty much know everyone who comes to my place , and really dont care if they take a couple of picks I do it as a courtesy . I wouldn't feel as free to extend that same courtesy at $4 /pick . more to the point of what I meant, just jokin around

Ok I may try some , but I'm havin a hard time with $4 ea picks. One of the best guitarists I've personally known always used a modified bread wrapper clip. Ill have to guard em like gold , no leavin em out around the studio for people to help themselves as they tend to do .

or illinois

wow these seem pretty pricey , I'm used to buying a gross of 351 heavys for about $30. I go through about 4-5 a night , toss them when the edge gets a little worn, never ( almost never ) drop a pick. whats a gross of these things cost $500. I think Im afraid to try them , I might like them

HBD & many more

So what is the finish on a72 lp deluxe ? And what would you use to remove the "sticky " feel ? Edited to say,it was bought used a couple of years ago so I don't know what had been done to it ,I believe it sat under a bed in the case for almost 40 years

If you can play a 3-4 set gig and bend accurately all night then the larger dia / higher tension , the better . Although I really don't hear a lot of difference between a 10 and an 11 , if using a higher gauge makes my playing suffer , then the tonal benefit would not be worth it for me

Maybe it depends as much on your hands as the strings or the guitar

^^^ Me too / either ?

+2 ouch

I still use 0000 stl wool on the fret board ( rosewood & ebony, all I own ) , for electric guitars I cover the pickups with blue painters tape . when done cleaning board & frets, I wipe the neck & guitar down with a little polish on a rag & put another layer of tape down so any filings are trapped between tape layers before removing the tape.Ive been using this method forever without any problems , but its not needed very often maybe once a year / guitar, if that often . I just wipe the board down with a little spay polish on a rag at string change other than that. seems like the guitars that get played a lot need the board cleaned more than the frets and visa versa, Good info on the back of the neck , Ive got a LP that seems to always feel sticky on the back of the neck, I take it thats were to use the naptha ????

nice combination there!

I have two guitars I've played at every gig since 1995 PRS McCarty & Fender 50th anniversary Strat #98 of 2500 , c 900 gigs on both and still look pretty good , I'm still a lousy photographer though

the hand off at "the Crossroads "

yes especially on a strats low strings , it also seems like they "work " quite awhile with a low battery , but work much better with a new battery , so I dont wait for them start acting weird

^^^ nice and small behind the head , no ugly thing hanging off the front, smaller and cheaper the better IMO

pics of the hand off to Bubs , at the "crossroads " , as soon as I find my usb cable

Priceless to me now $400 then
