    Bridge/intonation set-up on semi-acoustic?

    pretty sure its not a floating bridge on an artcore... prolly a tuneomatic which has adjustable saddles to tweak.... or a wraparound, which you dont have any adjustment capability.

    $6,000,000 Guitar!

    Youre right.... Brownie sold for $959,500 in 2002 and the most expensive instrument ever sold is Stradivarius violin that can topped 2 million at a christies auction. Guess this gives me hope for my weekly garage sale searches!!!! :)

    Travel down to BHam or find a college town where the pawn shops are ripe! Good time of the year for college town pawn shops(even though ebay has screwed that up!)

    Fender Deville 2x12 - Is it dead?

    Take it back untill the problem is fixed!!!!!! Prolly a PCB connection or problem. Fender is good about their waranty work if you stay within the rules/timeframe.

    $6,000,000 Guitar!

    It probably got pawned by one of his great great nephews for a $20 crack rock, and its sitting in some 3 year olds play room with crayola and bugers all over it!

    $6,000,000 Guitar!

    Dont get me wrong, this is a way more important guitar than lots of other icon auction guitars....... I think Claptons Brownie went for close to that and Im sure if Jimmy Pages #1 was sold it would command the same price, and after all, they pretty much just ripped off RJ anyway! :) Especialy...

    $6,000,000 Guitar!

    OK this seller is a real piece of work.... went to his website(below) and he has all sorts of stuff that I wouldnt fuck with a stolen dick! For instance, he is selling the Double Fantasy album that John Lennon signed for Mark David Chapman before he killed him(ICK!), and he has a book signed...

    $6,000,000 Guitar!

    http://www.rjguitar.com/enter.php This guy is selling what is allegedly reported to be Robert Johnsons guitar. Check out the "proof" page where he details the similarities of this guitar to the only known photo of RJs L1. I smell bullshit. Especially when he talks about the "neck join"...

    effects question

    pretty sure it will just hype your mids to give you that wonderfull/awfull "sonic maximizer sparkle". You can prolly accomplish that somewhere else in your signal chain without spending extra money on a stomp. Used to use their plug in on my Rhodes when I was recording, but rarely on guitars.

    PFs are bottom of the line imports.... you can do waaaaaaaaaay better for just a little more cash. Also, beware that all the Ibanez are strung from the factory w/ EXPs, so when you A/B them next to other makes/models, you get this really hyped bright sound that most people ears interperate as...

    B Benders and Palm Bars?

    Anyone else here play with a B Bender or Palm Bars? Used to have a Parson White on a G&L Tele, but sold it for stupid money back when Fender first introduced their stock installed B Bender Teles. Have since moved to a palm bar on my Les Paul. Doesnt do the clean pedal steel licks as well as...

    what does your shop charge for a setup?

    Yes a DECENT shop WILL ask you this, but unfortunately lots of shops use out of house techs and the work order from the retarded teen whos making $8 an hour... looks like this... "Setup w/ GHS 10s--- $60". So its kind of like sending a steak back thats not cooked right, you feel like a dick...

    what does your shop charge for a setup?

    This is VERY important as most techs will take your action to the lowest level w/out buzz, and alot of players prefer slightly higher action.. This is why i think if youre going to be a player for life, you either need to have a tech thats familiar w/ your tastes or learn to do it yourself.
