Pickguard on LP. Would not bang.

As luck would have it, those clip in to the pick-up bezel so when you're feeling frisky and the guard needs to come off, no unsightly soul-crushing holes.

That's badass. Really dig the homage to Vai. I imagine playing that is going to be like holding back a pitbull, it's gonna want to just go. But Henson's playing has a lot of delicacy, too, so maybe I'm just letting the built-for-face-melting appearance of the guitar cloud my judgement.

Please keep us posted!

That Firefly guitar company has switched up their FF338 semi-hollow body that is slightly smaller that a 335.

After looking at the fretboard closely, I think that this may be their aggy edition, because…

…there appears to be some bestiality going down towards the nut.

Thanks DougO, now my head hurts.

The neck will just snap in half.

That could be the least expensive, best sounding, best playing guitar ever, but those inlays would be a dealbreaker.

Probably would keep you from doing hard bends on the twelfth fret, I'd guess.

Do any of our surly brothers here live a reasonable distance from Teaneck NJ?

Because I’ve found a great deal there that is local pickup only.

The TV yellow was giving me some fret buzz that was driving me nuts. Adjusted the truss rod today to give the neck a bit more relief and now it is spot on. I guess a week in a freezing truck did it no favors. 

[tbone_ 14118]

I used to take a couple guitars back and forth from Phoenix to San Diego a few years back. Holy shit did that fuck with the necks.

[DougO 5245]

Today I checked out the listed prices at reverb of similar guitars that I have had stashed away, my American five and some others. It made me feel a bit better about having all these guitars I don't play. I seem to have done OK in regards to investment value, certainly better than any interest I get on stashed cash in the bank. But then cashing that investment in probably won't happen. 

[Deej 76766]

With inflation affecting the new market, used prices are following. I've sold my last two for what I paid for them.

I also heard that Gibson is only doing archtops as special orders. Those prices have gone through the roof.

I hope your hot-rodded Ibanez serves you well.

Sometime around 91 or 92, my main guitar was a Squire Strat, and it was a pretty mediocre instrument.  Partly at the urging of a young guitar-shop employee who was a brilliant guitarist (we were briefly in a garage band together*), I bought an RG550.  Within a few years, it was pretty obvious that there is really nothing about my personality or my preferred styles of music that would correlate with me playing a pointy guitar with a mirrored pickguard.  It was forgotten and packed away for a loooong time, and I may have even put it on craigslist for a few hundred dollars at one point.  

But I'm glad I still own it.  I cleaned it up and set it up a year or two ago, and it just plays like butter and sounds *really* good.  And this absurdly-styled $800 guitar is one of the best-engineered guitars I've ever owned (fit, finish, tuning, intonation, rock-solid electronics with no crackle or buzz).  I don't need to own an HSS Strat, because this thing does that bridge humbucker thing about as well as it can be done.  

 

*I was invited to sit in with his band.  They had their own room with a PA in a rehearsal complex, which seemed really big-time to me.  First practice:  Everyone in the band consumed eyebrow-raising amounts of drugs and alcohol.  But I liked them and they were really good musicians, and I thought maybe I just caught them on a wild night.  They suggested a few songs for me to learn, and asked me to sing on some things.  So I did my best to rehearse and learn them, and then I went back the next week.  The second practice was even more of a rumshpringa than the first one.  So I said what everyone says when they're quiet-quitting a garage band:  "Guys, I have a thing next week and I'm not gonna make it."

Good shit man, can't wait. The individual tracks should be in the project folders as .wav files.

In this folder.

 

 

 

If you want to do the mixed tracks, you bounce tracks, encode as mp3 for space if you want, and it will be in the bounced folder.

I want to put up the song with guitar and drums. No bass yet, but everything is smooth. Thanks for the input

Yeah just bounce the session. It's under File, Bounce Mix. Select format (wav, mp3 etc..)

A Telecaster and a dimed Supro is a pretty good combo. That concludes my random thoughts for the day.

Especially a 60 watt Supro with a 15 inch speaker.

Pretty sure that's a Mackie ProFX16 mixer in the foreground. I own the same unit. No idea what I was thinking when I bought it, way overkill for my needs, but it used regularly and I appreciate the onboard effects.
