    Pre-load Strat Pickguards ?!

    Last person to talk to. I have never found a Strat I got along with. I just this week got my first ever SSS guitar, and it's an Ernie Ball Music Man.

    New Synyster Gates Guitar manufacture trouble

    Almost all pickups are a little wobbly. The sound will not be affected if you leave it alone.

    Frustrated!!!

    I am always able to stop at one. Usually by falling asleep in front of the TV.

    Frustrated!!!

    I find myself having something rum-enabled at the end of every work day lately, and I'm not typically a "regular" drinker.

    Creating Solos - Lesson 16

    Then record it. You WILL forget it. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, this is GOLD. You know how comedians sleep with a notepad by the bed, in case they wake up with a funny joke? Same thing for musicians. Poor Papa Gates gets bitten on both of those!

    Good Acoustic Strings

    I don't even think they MAKE 8s for an acoustic. The mass of the string is much more important for an acoustic than an electric, especially if it's not getting passed through a piezo or some other pickup. You're not going to find much lower than a 10-50ish set made for acoustics. And if you can...

    Good Acoustic Strings

    I buy acoustic strings so infrequently that I can never ever remember what I bought last time, so I always wing it. I do know I get like 80/20 bronze or something.

    Frustrated!!!

    I also do have a self-deprecating sense of humor (If I can't laugh at myself, I can't laugh at other people, right? And I *LOVE* laughing at other people!), and I suppose the fact that I'm frequently joking about myself doesn't come through in the written word.

    Frustrated!!!

    Thanks, Ailee. I do know very much that the inside of my brain is my biggest obstacle, worst critic, and harshest enemy. In all seriousness, I had restructured my health insurance this year to make it more appealing and cost-effective to get into therapy, and that's on hold with quarantine...

    Frustrated!!!

    The funny thing is, I *know* my playing has suffered for this mentality, but I am hardwired... to self-destruct. YEAH!

    Frustrated!!!

    I can't tell you how many times I've said to myself in my head, "See? This is why you don't live-stream this shit, fucko."

    Help Me, I can't play video lessons

    #WhatIdsSaid. You may need to use a VPN that masks your country of origin to use the SoundSlice videos.

    Oof... No.

    Lennon and McCartney were greater than the sum of their parts. Keef and Mick, too. Jon and Richie. Paul and Art. Hall and Oates. Ren and Stimpy.

    My New Hotness shipped out today. Finally bought my first SSS, chasing the Great White Blues Man to see if I can keep up.

    Synyster Custom S Action Preference?

    I used to experiment with that, but in the end I just didn't like it. It was too temperamental and keeping it right on that edge required frequent adjustment to the truss rod. Now I keep it as low as possible with no buzz and no dead spots, even if I bend 1.5 steps.

    Gibson LP Junior TV yellow

    It's only from 2005, so I doubt it's especially rare. The thing that would be concerning to me is that on the top, there appears to be something like paint overspray on it. There's a dusting of black with a hard line, like a tape line just above the playing area. Also, in the pic of the back...
