I got a "Green Tag Sale" flyer from the devil's lair a couple of days ago. One of the things they have advertised is a Roadrunner brand tweed guitar case for $59.99. Their normal price is $99. I went over there at lunch and had a look. It's a really nice case for the money. I bought two. :o :D

From Musician's Friend:

The guitar is a MIA Deluxe Ash Tele, using stock Samarium Cobalt Noiseless pickups. (Yes, Light, I know you hate 'em! :D ) First, and stupidest question: The bridge pickup has three screws - one on each side, and one centered on the neck side of the pickup. Are all three of these screws used...

Hey, oh talented, gifted, and knowledgeable luthier types (got your attention yet? :D ) Let's say I'm starting with an unfinished body and neck, such as I might buy from Warmoth. What is the minimum finish treatment necessary to protect the wood - to seal it and provide some level of...

A custom Epiphone Strat! :eek: http://dallas.craigslist.org/msg/277006200.html I've exchanged some pointed emails with the seller. :D

If I record a cover of copyrighted material, can I post the recording on a site like SoundClick, without permission, if I am not selling it or otherwise profiting financially? Thanks!

.....got soaking wet during the Super Bowl halftime show. A natural Tele, a baby blue Strat, and the purple "Artist"-shaped creation all got very wet. I wonder if they survived. That said, I think he put on the best halftime show in memory. :)

I really wanted this to work, but I think there is no way. This would have been for a guitar amp cab. What I wanted to do was build a large array of small-diameter speakers in a tri-angled cabinet. I wanted to use speakers of 4" diameter or less. Hopefully very cheap speakers, as I was thinking...

About 15 years ago I purchased a mic from the GC in Arlington, Tx. The model number of the mic is PR1000-HE. It's a hypercardiod dynamic, and at the time it cost just a tic more than a SM-57 or SM-58. I've used it successfully as a vocal stage mic. I can find no trace of this model number on...

Can anyone point me to an A/B footswitch, something that you'd use to switch your guitar from one amp to another? Thanks!

....needs its own thread, too. OK, OK, I know it's not the cave. Sue me. :p :D

Weekend before last I went to the local devil's lair (GC) to demo some amps. I was particularly interested in the Vox AC30CC. I've been looking for an amp that isn't too big to play in the house without running everybody off, and that I can use for recording or stage (if I ever get back on a...

...or any other 15W tube amps..... I'm tire-kicking the smallish tube amp category. Does anyone have experience with a direct comparison of the Vox AC15 and the Fender Blues Jr? Or any other all-tube low-wattage amps?

For all you luthier-type gurus - My old LP needs refretting. It has a bound neck. Does this present a problem or a challenge requiring more $$$, typically? .

Let's say I build myself a Warmoth, and spec it to be as close to a LP as possible - mahogany body, maple cap, mohogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, proper electronics, etc. One big difference is the neck joint, where a kit guitar is bolt-on and the guitar I'd be trying to copy has a set neck...

As promised. If you are a purist (and I think you are! ;) ) there's probably a lot you won't like about it. This was my working guitar for years and it shows. It still plays and sounds great. Enjoy.

I guess it's my own fault. :D I just wanted a cheap recorder (of the woodwind variety) to try it out on a song I'm working on. The only thing I could find nearby was a cheap plastic flutophone - like a recorder, but with a couple of extra holes to obtain half-tones. How cheap, you ask? How...

....with my best old buddy, my 1963 Martin D-28. I've owned this guitar since '68 and it's been with me through good times and bad. But when I re-strung it about a year back, it just didn't have the tone anymore. I had been playing it only sporadically for several years and I thought that maybe...

Hey, Light - I have a '60-something Harmony Stratotone. The rectangular pearloid fretboard inlays are cupped concave, and the edges on a few of them are protuding so far as to make the guitar pretty much unplayable. What's your recommended solution? Can they be pried out and reglued, or...

2488 Effects - Flexibility through Bouncing I'm trying to understand how to get more flexibility from the 2488's built-in effects. I normally track everything dry, and apply effects during playback before premastering. This does limit how many effects (and effects settings) can be used on the...
