Yet another reason I don't use Amazon unless I absolutely have to. MF, GC, Sweetwater, etc. are the way to go if you insist on getting them online.

I have the 80 ohm 770 Pros, and they are a wonderful thing. I often wonder if I would like the open back version (880s?) more, but it doesn't really matter. They are, IMO, fairly flat, which is what you want 'monitoring' headphones for. They don't have the isolation for tracking, like my 280s...

The fret ends are visible through the binding.

Is there any difference between doing it on a bound board vs an unbound board? Do you have to do anyting special, or just be extra careful? I've never done one anyway, but I was wondering if it would be worth attempting it myself.

I'm in an opposite camp of thinking. I'd vote for something like an SM-7 because you CAN get close and make the most of the proximity effect.

Has anyone ever run across a truss rod that is threaded the opposite of the 'normal' way? I got an off-off brand LP for $10 that has a slight back bow, and I just wanted to know before I try and adjust it. How long do you give it after you've turned it before you see a result? How much time...

I want to try some 8's (which I didn't even know existed), but there are 18 different kinds of 8's for electric at GC (while they're still afloat). There are 6 different kinds of 8's just among Ernie Balls. I don't understand the difference between all of them. What's the difference between...

Are THEY interchangeable? Looking at getting a tele neck, but I want to know if any of the tuners I have will fit.

Are they the same size? GF says their necks are made for the same pocket width. Are the other dimensions the same? Does that mean they're interchangeable? I know I've seen necks swapped, but I always assumed there was some sort of compensation made.

Eddie Van Hale died. Cancer. 65

Looking at unfinished necks. Can you tung oil a neck, or will that be sticky? Can you sand it once you oil it, like you can with lacquer or poly? Do you put tung on the fretboard (rosewood) too, or just lemon oil? Can you just lemon oil the whole thing? (knowing you'll have to reapply it...

Do they require different neck pocket sizes?

I've never done this, so any guidance would be helpful. This is also partly hypothetical. Not a big trem fan, except that I do kind of like Bigsbys every once in a while. Don't have one though. I wanted to buy a tele body from GF, but the one I want only comes routed for a strat trem. What...

A lot of guys sand the back of their guitar necks, but I don't know that I've ever seen this done on an acoustic. Why is that? Or have I just not noticed? These are the kind of random thoughts that pop into my head out of nowhere.

I can get one dirt cheap, but the guy isn't sure if it can be used as a controller for VST instruments. It has midi in, through, and out, so I would think so, but it's really old and I don't know jack about midi and keyboards and the evolution of their standards. It has fully weighted keys, so...

I'm sure it is, but just double checking. I'm probably going to be doing everything in phones and 90% in the box anyway, so I guess it really doesn't matter. I don't pretend that anyone except maybe a few friends will hear anything I do, and I can just tell them to use headphones. They're all...

I used to have a Big Baby (I miss that guitar) that was great for being in a mix for that very reason. A slightly percussive crispness. I think using Elixers helped too. Something about that combination.

That's WAY better sound than I get from MY V67G. What's your pre?
