Cool!

Yeah, I'm familiar with strange brew...great recording as most of there studio was. The "stepping out" performance I was talking about is on "Cream live volume 2". (I'm also very familiar with the "stepping out" studio recording on the blues breakers Beano album.) I'm mainly talking about their...

I guess Cream is the exception. Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker were far too busy IMO. All three of them were excellent in their own right but in a lot of their live stuff each was in their own world of noodling behind a syncopqted drum solo. To be fair that was a popular style of playing. They were...

Leon Wilkinson, bass player for Lynyrs Skynyrd said when they first were starting out that Ronnie Van Zant picked him and Bob burns (the drummer) up early one morning and told them. "We're going to "hell house" (their un-air conditioned metal rehersal building). He told them "just you too will...

I don't think stainless steel frets brighten the tone. As far as stainless steel being harder than nickle or mild steel, that is pretty much a scientific fact. I don't think you benefit tonewise with stainless steel frets, but they are not going to wear as quickly as non-stainless steel frets...

I think it plays a lot more into the equation on acoustic guitars. The pickups and the electronics play the predominant role in electric guitar tone. That being said, Les Paul enthusiasts swear that maple cap les pauls are brighter sounding than their all mahogany counterparts. Also, I have...

One that I think is a myth: "An electric guitar sounds better with a thin nitro lacquer finish than with a thick poly finish." It's a hotly debated topic for sure. On my 1966 strat I made the idiotic mistake, when I was 18 years old, to remove the finish. Natural ash strats with black pickguards...

Here is my Drummer and I doing Voodoo child slight return (he died of lung cancer)

Yes. It's the dark fretboard. I saw a video of her playing on a pale fretboard guitar and she fell to pieces. Lol

Dang man, your guitars fall into the hands of some famous players. That says a lot about the quality of your builds and attention to detail. I saw a interview with Jason on youtube where he was talking about going to look at ed kings guitars to possibly buy one. He said when he played the '59...

Jason Isbell bought Ed kings redeye 59 burst for an undisclosed amount. The "sweet home alabama" strat sold for $450k and "redeye"was the crown jewel of Ed's collection. So, I think it's safe to say Jason paid north of $500k for it.

The pickups, pots, and caps have the most effect on tone on a electric guitar. The body wood to a lesser effect. I have seen electric guitars that don't sound very good acoustically but sound amazing plugged in. On the flipside I have played guitars that really sound good acousticly that were...

The 4 most important components of tone... Your left and right hands and your two ears. Dickey Betts sounded like dickey Betts on strats, les pauls, SG's, hollow bodies, you name it. Same with Stevie Ray he sounded almost the same on any guitar he played. A lot of tone is in the touch...

They do a blind test. *snare drum rimshot* Amazingly they always seem to pick the darker fretboard guitars in the blind text (according to CNN) Lol

Man, that's a cool guitar!

Very unique voice. Kind of the way George Martin recorded and mixed Paul McCartneys guitar on "Blackbird". I realize it's 2 completely different Instruments, but the sound is simular to my ears.

Well, that's my story am I'm stickin' to it! Lol

Maple fretboards are bright. That's why almost every country guitar picker that wants that snap, for chicken pickin' style lead guitar work, had a maple fretboard guitar (90% of the time a telecaster)

I've looked at pics of them, with the binding or the nut removed and the top layer is thicker than the bottom. I figured that was for more meat to sand if you needed to sand the board. I figured a refret should work, but there are guys on the les paul forums who say it's gonna need the old...

Hey Scott, I got worried about the les paul I'm having shipped to me because I was mistaken about it being a 2012. Started reading stuff on the internet about the 2012 having sandwiched 2 piece rosewood fretboards because the feds confiscated gibson's rosewood in an August 2012 raid. I was...
