    Buy Now! New Les Paul Standards are selling at an all time low!

    chrisbs, I take it you sell guitars and things.....after looking at the link....(which is pretty spammy of you, actually)...equally obvious is that you don't offer LPs......, so my question is, are you exclusively a business that excludes Gibsons (other than mandolins) because of your choice, or...

    Buy Now! New Les Paul Standards are selling at an all time low!

    Probably due to the 2002's being very different from the in stock 2001s..... According to the Les Paul Forum, The new Standards have Kluson tuners instead of Grovers, different peghead, nickel hardware instead of chrome, pups that are close to being burstbuckers instead of the 490/498s and...

    Micing Fire

    Griffinator, that one kinda stumps me, but it might be fun to record a plastic drink cup being crushed by hand.....or maybe a styrophone cup....the plastic would be louder, though...that might give a "chomp" sound?.............gibs

    Micing Fire

    Actually, you need some *pop* sounds, like wood crackling, so really, you could get hold of some of that plastic bubble wrap used for packing (not the huge bubbles, the little ones) and sorta of rub it together, while popping one or two of the bubbles at random times.....seriously..... fire is...

    what did you start off on?

    Acoustic, which most folks do, because of availability at the pawn shop......I dunno what age I was, but I pestered my folks for one so we went pawn-shopping.....it hated me and I hated it.....the action was so high it hurt my fingers just to strum it with an E chord.... Then at the ripe age of...

    How do you get distortion w/ tube amp

    uhhh, stomp boxes have their place when you can't crank vol at home but you still wanna get a feeling going...particularly if you have an older 60 watt or lower amp with none of the newer goodies in them....otherwise the neighbors kick yer ass........... a cheap Rocktek stomp box can do...

    53 refinished les paul

    Take the money and run.....most folks don't like the off-centers and would rather have the guitar in the original gold finish unless the seam is perfect......and most people wouldn't pay 4500 clams for a refin with mods........so I'd say get it while you can....just my opinion...but, I could be...

    Epiphone Dot Troubles Part 2

    Most certainly not a genius here, but the G is famous for being hard to get a leash on......adjust the saddle slot under the string, using 12th fret as your tuning ideal.....almost always there will still be some "off" to the G, though it will be way less if you mess with the saddle a...

    Blind taste tests don't mean much to those who can see....... I totally love four electric guitars that I have...... Two of the electrics are LPs, the other two are Fenders.... Played clean, or even unplugged, all four are so different it ain't funny...... Different wood, different hardware...
