I look forward to viewing and listening to your production.

Depending on the guitar, I lean toward Elixer Custom Lights, but I have also experimented with using different string to string gauges. Who knew! If only I was famous.... 🤣

Whatever works, right? 👍

I understand it that many guitar companies eagerly manufacture signature guitars based upon the specs provided by famous guitar players who have modified their off the shelf guitars to achieve a "signature sound" of their own. And that's okay, but all of a sudden now, signature strings are are...

@TalismanRich Thank you for reminding me that, just like you, I also had purchased a Peavy Transformer 112 right about the same time that you had bought yours. That amp has been sitting there beneath my desk for about 20 years. My bad. I do remember scrolling through the factory presets, but I...

Too late now for apologies. What's next? I'll be back.

Sorry about that. I should've posted my thoughts at PT.

Like it or not, there are millions of young people in this world who are embracing and welcoming AI into their lives simply because they are incapable of reading books, incapable of thinking for themselves, completely reliant upon shoes that don't require a shoe tying skill, so on and so forth...

Hey Rich! You're younger than I am, but welcome to the club.

I agree with that. For example: Masonry has been and always will be a "hands on job" best performed by people who possess the skills to lay brick and mortar.

It has a Les Dudek vibe to it that I like! ?

It wouldn't require all that much time for a company like Gibson to absorb the cost of the Plek machine, but I suspect it that boutique custom guitar luthiers are quite capable of building guitars matching or exceeding a Pleked guitar.

So, the long and short of it is that you (and other competent luthiers) simply know it that that y'all can do a better job of fret dressing etc than a Plek machine is capable of doing? Is that right? I agree with you 100% that putting a guitar in the hands of a competent luthier is the best...

You should also say to him "Go Plek Yourself!" ?

Be careful with that!

Personally, I prefer plectrums that don't have lazer etched logos on them that can ruin the entire feel and balance. Sharpie applied logos and signatures are just fine. ?

It's not the plectrum itself. You gotta learn how to hold it to get the tone down.

Very nice. My old ears say bring your vocal a bit more upfront and place her vocal a bit further back. Nice tune.

Does a guitar need to be Pleked again if the frets are worn down by .002"? And yes! I'm being a wiseass. ?
