They're the ones that came in the first guitar I bought from Monoprice. They're alnico 5 while every other since that once has had ceramics in it. Oddly enough, these are in phase with Seymour Duncan's while all of the ceramics are wound opposite so they're all out of phase. I mention that...

Picked this body up from Stratosphere a couple of weeks ago, IIRC. It was a hell of a deal, imo. Only $299, which is quite a discount from the standard price of $699. Even without electronics & hardware. I had the major stuff so I figured I'd save myself $400+ I had to buy a pickguard, a...

WARNING! NOVEL AHEAD! TURN BACK NOW! 🤣🤣🤣 That's great to hear, bro! I've only not been playing for the past few weeks due to having no time due to a new puppy. Even that sucks. I couldn't imagine not being able to play for any longer than that. Really glad to hear you're actually playing...

Way to go, Scott! I have a guitar on the way. It should be here tomorrow. Well, most of a guitar, anyway. It's a 2025 Epiphone SG Standard IBG body/neck from Stratosphere. I've been looking for an SG for a long time. Every time I'd find one that was relatively inexpensive, it would turn out to...

He brought me pain & sadness. I had to let my best dog, Dixie, go on Christmas Eve. My chocolate lab. She was really sick. Had a life-threatening condition. I'm still beside myself over it all. 😭 Dixie saved my life when I got her in Feb 2017. She's probably the only reason I didn't lose my...

Well that started me down the rabbit hole. I now have TWO Tonex pedals, the larger pedal and the smaller 'One', and I just ordered a new FRFR speaker made by Headrush. It's their FRFR-112, their 12 inch, 2500w speaker. And I have 500+ plugins for my DAW, Reaper, now. Started with like 60 lol...

I have the Joyo and the Horse American Sound. For all intents and purposes, they are the same pedal sound-wise. Or I thought so 2 years ago when I got them. Thought about trying one through the Hot Rod Deluxe but I still haven't tried it.

Just ordered a Ross Two Notes Captor X 8 ohm reactive load box attenuator thing. Picked it up on Reverb for $315 +tax & shipping. I almost bought a new 1st Gen Ross Two Notes Captor 8 ohm for only $50 less until I checked Reverb. I'd much rather have a barely used Captor X for $50 more.

Here's the last vid, called "Making a solid body guitar"

Saw these on the Stewmac site so I checked youtube and there they are! 🤷 I was able to find somewhere that could convert them to video files to download. So I did that. That way, if they ever disappear from YouTube, I'll still have them. This isn't my channel. These aren't my vids. I'm just...

OK well scratch that. Looks like those vises are backordered at Woodcraft. I emailed them and asked them to cancel & refund my order because I'm going to pick one up on ebay, I think.

Finally paid off. Done! $70/month plus a decent initial payment and then paid it off 4 months early. Just ordered a vise like one Stewmac sells. They want $209 for it usually. Its a patternmakers vise. I found that Allparts sells it, also. Only ALLPARTS WANTS $599 FOR IT! 😮🤣 I just picked...

Thought I was going to have another issue with this amp already. It started popping and crackling and hissing, then the volume started dropping and it started making weird, electronic noises. I checked the tubes and 1 power tube was much brighter than the other. So I ordered a pair of 6L6GC's...

If you're ever wondering about the construction of something and it's currently still for sale by the company, such as a HRD 112 enclosure, you can check said company's website to confirm whatever it is you need to know. For instance, Fender lists what these are constructed from: 3/4" particle...

They released body cam footage from the cops finding them and their dogs. Some things are better left not shared with the public 🤦
