My 20th aniv PRS CS24 and my Taylor T5 got blessed last night. Thought I would share some pics with you.

I am a friend of the band Ennui. I work with the band leader some to help them get ahead, which we all know is not an easy task. I would like to tell you what has happened so far and see if any of you have any ideas that I may not have thought of. Their website is www.ennuimusic.com if any of...

Why are bridges not parallel with the fret wires. but the intonation is correct? Shouldn't intonation and scale length be the same for a high E and a low E. As far as I know, the 12th fret should be exactly 1/2 of the scale length. My SG has a 24 1/2 scale length and the intonation is dead on...

Has anyone heard of Howard Rosen Promotions in California. He wants to promote a friend of mine and I am looking for opinions, stories or whatever. If anyone out here has dealt with them, let me know what your experiences are. I have searched the net and all I can find are positives on him which...

Does anyone out there play a mandolin? Can you suggest any songs? The only one I can recall is a Led Zep song "Battle of Evermore". Any sites or info on a mandolin would be helpful. I have a chord chart and the Zep tab. Mainly, I will be using it for filling in some of my songs, but I am...

What axes do you collectors/players think is needed in any good guitar collection. In any collection I think a Les Paul and a strat are required. For a serious collection I think you need some vintage Gibsons and Fenders.

So what do you all clean the symbols and drums with? Any do's and don'ts?

Ok, I am a guitar/kybd/bass player. I want to buy/learn drums and yes, I am nuts or excentric or whatever. I really don't like junk, so generally speaking I usually buy mid to top shelf stuff. I am looking at a set of Pearl master customs for the drums and really have no idea for the cymbols...

Does anyone out there know what to call the accoustic bass they use in a mariachi band. It appears to be a super jumbo body with a short neck. Does anyone know where to get one?

Reading the EVH thread, someone said, I wonder how he will be rated. What do you use to rate a great guitarist. How fast they are? How difficult the stuff they play is? Do you need to like their music? Do they need to write? Do they need to be a showman? If they are great when they are 18, do...

Does anyone have any links on how pickups are made. A how to make pickups document would be great.
