    Let's Talk Les Pauls

    I adore my Les Paul Custom (54 reissue). I've never broken a string on that thing - it's 10 years old. I dropped it on the stage once when my strap broke (yes I have strap loks now). Took a ding out of the tip of the headstock and bent a grover. It's my favorite guitar ever.

    Question for Light (or anyone) about a Les Paul and Bigsby

    I have a Les Paul Custom with a Bigsby - the wrong one. I go the guitar 10 years ago and the idiot at the shop put the wrong one on - it was supposed to go on an archtop. This is why I have had troubles with strings popping out of the saddles. I have the Blues Festival coming up and I want to...

    The musicman thread

    I've got a 2x10 MM combo. Older than me. I scored it for $400 about 10 years ago. It's heavy as hell, but sounds really good.

    What is the point of a pick guard?

    I took the pg off of my Les Paul Studio - looks better. I left it on my LP Custom though.

    Yes but how can I make my guitar sound like a pan flute?

    Hand fatigue again.

    Could be nerves too. I've been in really intense playing situations (intense as in really good) where I get over excited and my hand stiffens up. One thing to try is stop playing for a second, relax your hand, breathe deep and shake it off. Adrenaline can cause you to tighten up.

    New tune. What are your thoughts?

    Thanks people. So you think the drums could come up in the mix? I wonder what I could do to bring the kick out more - it's a stereo drum track. Any suggestions? I'll try the low pass filter on the bass. Thanks again guys.

    New tune. What are your thoughts?

    Thanks so much friends. Yes True - that's me singing - I NEVER in a million years thought anyone would actually like my singing - I guess I'm improving some - thankfully - because I often get very discouraged about singing. This gives me inspiration/ confidence to keep working on it. Glad you...

    New tune. What are your thoughts?

    Thanks Chris - I'll revisit the drums. They are loops. Maybe a little compression would bring out the kick more? I'll experiment. Thanks for listening.

    Fender: Strat vs Tele

    Does the shape matter when it comes to cost? I mean it's all just automated machines doing the cutting.

    Poll: Most Overrated Guitar Player OAT

    I really don't care for Steve Vai. I find his playing boring. I know he has great chops, but it does nothing for me.

    Poll: Most Overrated Guitar Player OAT

    I can recognize Clapton after one or 2 notes. Jimmy Vaughan is a terrible lead player imo. I did like the playing he did on "Things That I Used To Do" on SRV's live at Carnegie Hall disc. That was tasty. I have seen Slash play so badly it was embarrassing - obviously far too wasted. When he's...

    My wifey has given me the thumbs up to buy another axe - what a woman. I want an American Tele. My budget is $1300 and under. Thoughts?

    I love my amp so much

    Music Man. I have an old (1972 I think) MM combo. Killer tone. Super heavy.
