So I bought this new Washburn X40 Pro. I really like the guitar, but it has this ugly inlay of an X on the fretboard. It would looks so much better without it. Is there anyway I can black it out or chisel it out and fill so it can't be seen?

I was on vacation last week and did something I always wanted to do, tour the Martin Factory. My website is down for a redesign so I put photos from my tour up there for your enjoyment. Here's a few Martin quick facts from the tour: They ship on average 250 guitars a day, M-F. They build...

I have a project guitar and I was thinking about creating some chambers in the body. The body is Basswood, would this lend itself to chambers well, or is Mahogany prefered? The guitar has a large pickguard and I plan chamber out areas under the pickguard and cut some fancy f-holes in the...

The idiot in this case is me.. I have played guitar for years and am fairly adept with chords, but when it comes to leads I am lost. I can play some by ear, but I really have no freakin idea what I am doing. I have bought books, DVD's, online lessons and I still can't get my head around scales...

It was posted over in the cave, not sure you will see it there. Thanks for all your countless informative posts. Have a great Birthday!!

I picked up a Peavey Valveking 212 over the weekend. This is my first tube amp so this question is really stupid. There is a power and standby switch on the amp. Should I turn them both on when powering on? Or do I just power on, then when taking a break throw on the standby and turn off the...

Anyone try one of these? It has dual 12AX7 tubes and tons of settings. The demo video has some impressive tones. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product?sku=154700

Wow, is he looking old these days. I really like him and all, but the schoolboy outfit looks a tad ridiculous now.

I am confused about a few items I have seen on guitars recently. The first is on the Dime guitar shown in the attachment. There is what appears to be electrical tape on the edges of the neck pickup. I have seen this on other guitars Randy Rhodes and others are playing. What is that exactly and...
