Sure looks like one of these.

On our commercial tape loggers we used 99% Isopropyl every day on the heads and all items in the tape path. That's all you need.

Personally, I think it's a great opportunity, and is exactly what an internship should be, a learning experience by working in the industry. I'm sure you'll have lots of interest. I'm actually moving to Hong Kong next summer to work for several years (non-music related), but would be interested...

I will second señor beezelbubba, the GR55 is a great thing to spend tons of time with. I will also add that if you only want modeling and effects, a Roland VG88 with a GK2 or 3 could be a cheaper option.

How's your humidity? Fluctuations during the winter, even in Michigan, are going to affect the guitars more than temps will. At least that's my experience if I don't provide a more consistent supply of moisture to the environment. It gets damn dry here, so its particularly important for me. I've...

Wow, that's great ! I've always loved "The Fool" My son's an artist, and I want him to do a guitar for me. Just haven't found the right canvas ...

Wow. That's a great looking guitar. Wow. I'm sure it will have been worth the wait.

This article is older, but it got me going when I first connected a mixer to my computer. Using a Mixer With a DAW I would suggest that you get a better audio interface than just the ports on your motherboard, though, as I suspect you won't be entirely happy with the results of your efforts.

Wow. That there's a rock and roll photo. Nice shot.

Man, I just went downstairs to play it, and it's, well, interesting. It sounds darker than I expected, but that's good, it like it. Neck pickup is classic Tele. However, the humbucker offers a bit of a bizarre single coil honk that I didn't expect. It's kinda cool. But, I'm gonna have to wait...

Thanx for the well wishes - I've had some people love it and others not; opinion-wise, it seems to be quite a polarizing guitar. Had you paid in USD, the cost would have been about $320 bucks (a bit more in CAD ;) ). Not a bad deal, considering the hard case.

I've always liked the feel of a strat, just (generally) not the electronics. The first volume control was my nemesis, I'd always hit it at the wrong time, and turn down my volume. So when I saw this locally last night, I had it bought and home within a couple hours. Less than a year old, with a...

Well, the boy has changed his mind, and now he thinks that the bass is cool enough to play live. Here's a shot from yesterday on their Pavement and Parking Lot Tour 2015. They're playing 3 gigs at local public schools for their end of year parties (they are in the local School of Rock program)...

I had a Hondo Lazer that was hell to try and sell. There are pics of it on this site, actually, tried to sell it in the free ads section. Nobody wanted it, anywhere, but when they did sell on eBay, they went for big bucks, so I didn't want to let it go for crap money. I wasn't prepared to go the...

Well, Beeze, thanks for the input ! I bit the bullet and got myself not only a GR55, but also a Godin Freeway SA guitar. The price was right, so I couldn't pass it up. The guitar is really for my kid - his 9.5 pound Epi Les Paul was just a tad heavy for a 10 year old - but it will also be...
