    Oil refining 101 Most gasoline is blended with between 28 and 35 additives with every brand being different. Some additives are for things like fuel injector cleaners, others to boost octane. Then there are the mandated seasonal blends that cut pollution but also cut milage. Common pipelines...

    Guitar Center v. Elixir

    String manufacturers make strings to the specifications and with the materials that the client wants. It's like oil refineries; Shell makes gas for Chevron with their blend and vice versa.

    Guitar Center v. Elixir

    So why won't GC carry them? Do they want to lower the wholesale price? How will they sell any more Taylors? Elixers and coated strings in general are a compromise for sure but they certainly work for me. Overall I like them better for recording, and for stage use less resistance is nice. But...

    Acoustic pickups for a live performer??

    For your style and the old box and strings you're playing through I'd go with a DeArmond....it worked for Brownie McGee. Or maybe upgrade a little to a Sunrise.

    Guitars...cases or on the wall?

    Cases on a 4 to 1 ratio with 5 instruments hanging on the studio wall. Earthquakes, heat, no humidity...they're better off in cases with humidifiers.

    Who Destroyed Country?

    Who destroyed country? Fred Rose, (even if he did write 'Blue Eyes Cryin In The Rain') when he moved to Nashville in 1942 and started Acuff/Rose Music and began crossover marketing.

    Who Destroyed Country?

    It's not destroyed, you just have to look harder. Commercial country music has almost always been crap.

    My wife bought me a brand new Gibson....

    Should have gone for sunburst, they do that well. QC and overpricing aside, they have a wonderful look and feel.

    Eliminating Gibson "neck drag"

    All finishes on guitars are very sturdy in comparison to a professional classic car paint job. If pledge works for you then great, personally I wouldn't use it on anything but a wallhanger instrument. We know that pledge has silicones, cleaners (all cleaners contain abrasives), solvents, and...

    Eliminating Gibson "neck drag"

    Pledge isn't likely to hurt a poly finish, maybe long term, but I doubt it. It will however damage a nitro finish like Gibson often uses in fairly short order. In the company's own words: "Silicones are important ingredients in many furniture care products. They provide lubrication so you can...

    Eliminating Gibson "neck drag"

    Pledge will work. Automotive paste wax lasts a lot longer though.
