    Refinishing a guitar?

    Yeah, I'm wondering what I should do... I mean, in a perfect world, I'd plug this stuff up and install a gibson style bridge. I just wouldn't know where to begin with what to plug it with :(

    Refinishing a guitar?

    So here's where I'm at now: I called it for the night again because of mosquitoes. I've brought it in so I can remove the input jack and bridge and finish the few spots left. ...kind of off topic, but, how difficult would replacing this bridge be? With this: USA Spaced Solid Brass Block...

    Refinishing a guitar?

    Here's where I got with 100 grit and an hour: Basically that on all sides. The back took more time and energy than the front. Surprisingly, the front was begging to be stripped away lol. I decided to stop for the night because mosquitoes :( Tomorrow I guess I'll switch to the 150 or 220 to...

    Refinishing a guitar?

    I don't want something that will chip away if I drop my pick on it, I'm not really looking for a high quality finish at all. Just something black and shiny :D Sorry you felt insulted RFR. I really do appreciate your time and advice! The more input the better. UPDATE: Bought 100, 150, and 220...

    Refinishing a guitar?

    I just picked this up for practically nothing: It's in pretty rough shape. I don't think it's been touched for 20 years... I've disassembled it and removed all the electronics. They'll all be replaced. Now, the next step is refinishing... but, I've read some conflicting things. "Sand it."...

    The Jimmy Clip. I've recently started playing my Ibanez hollow body. I love it, but the overtones are driving me crazy! Also - it's great to see this thread thriving 3 years later!

    prime time lite

    Lots. Hundreds. Especially if we're including lights on gear. But, if we're talking main fixtures - 5. Ceiling fan, wall light over desk, two pro photo/video lighting kits with various temperature light bulbs, and a light in the gear closet! I'm actually a bit of a dork about lights. Lighting...

    Anyone got retro and/or rare guitar picks you'd like to sell to me?

    I've become totally obsessed with pick history lately and now I'm on a journey of documenting them via a series of overview videos on YouTube.

    strings - gauge and brand

    Me! They charge shipping which is a bit of a drag when you're used to free shipping on everything nowadays. Can't remember the exact amount... I think it depends on the size of your order. Shipping is fast, and they include a pack of 6 .71mm JustStrings.com picks for whatever that's worth...

    "Guitar Wing"...

    Looks wise - yeah it looks pretty weird on strats and les pauls. I do like it on solid color guitars though. Here it is on one of mine the day it came in from livid: The back of it can be adjusted so it sits on the guitar properly. But I can't get it to fit on any of my basses (Fender Jazz)...

    Guitar picks, whaddya use???

    I've been using Gravity Guitar Picks for about a year now. (The big orange one on the top left of the pile in particular - Sunrise standard 2mm masterfinish). They're a little pricey, but I like them. I didn't think I'd like really heavy picks since I used .88 and .60mm tortex for years, but I...

    Dear Microsoft, you suck.

    Seriously. The absolute worst support I've ever received. I just bought a new desktop with Windows 8.1 installed. Windows Updates fail to install. Now, normally, I wouldn't care. I'd actually be delighted - we all know Windows updates will brick and audio system faster than I can finish this...

    Cubase 8 mono output with Windows 8.1

    Hi all! I'm back on PC armed with Cubase 8 after a couple of years of using Mac exclusively. I have a question - is there an easy way to have mono audio output on windows? Macs just have a single button to click and it makes everything mono including interface output. I have a single...

    Grilled some steaks tonight

    Now I want to go buy some steaks for tonight lol I smoked a duck the other night. I'm still trying to figure out this cheapy smoker though. I can't finish the meat properly. It'll hit 160 and then start dropping. I think it's because I start easing off the charcoal assuming it doesn't need...

    what should I get??

    Another vote for Equator! I've got a few monitors (you know how some people are "microphone guys" or "outboard people"? I've got this obsessive fascination with monitors...) including some KRK G2 Rokit 6s that were my first monitors, the Equators, and some pairs of Focal monitors as well. The...

    Any meat smoking experts here?

    After being fascinated with meat smoking for a couple of years, and just using indirect heat on my grill, I bought a cheapy brinkmann vertical smoker, cured it, modded it, and smoked a pork loin for my first cook yesterday. Turned out alright, but I had to keep refilling the water pan every...

    Guitar, MIDI keyboard, studio monitors, bass amp, acoustic treatment - FOR SALE

    Well, the combination of realizing I'm a gear hoarder and realizing the paychecks aren't coming in like they used to has brought me to the point of trying to sell of some gear. I thought I'd ask here before I have to resort to eBay. Ibanez AF75 w/ stand - $320 Novation Launchkey 61 w/ cable -...
