Ordered a Seymour Duncan Seth Lover neck pickup for the SG yesterday. It'll be here tomorrow, Sunday. I've been considering taking a set out of another guitar but I went ahead and bought one instead. I'll order a bridge pickup at another time. I may order something different, like a Pearly...

I'm really really loving this SG, as well. I never expected that. It currently still has some alnico 5 pickups in it that I took out of my Goldtop LP-style from Monoprice and they sound great. But more and more, I'm thinking I want to put these Seth Lovers in it. They're in another LP-style...

Well I ordered a 'Pedal Mystery Box' from Warm Audio on Reverb last week and I ended up getting an Octave Fuzz pedal. It's a Foxy Tone Box, a very close clone of the Foxx Tone Machine. It supposedly has the same vintage transistors and other components in it. I'm ok with Fuzz but this thing is...

Thank you! I'm quite pleased with it, tbh. I wish I had gotten a before Pic but I went straight to work filling it with super glue after it happened. I may do 1 more round of filling, leveling, and polishing now that I found my box of brand new foam sanding sponges. I bought these like 6 months...

It wasn't too bad. I have a Pic after the repair. It's basically invisible. 😁 Thanks to Glu Boost Fill n Finish CA glue. Made specifically for repairing finishes. Dries crystal clear. I filled it, shaved it down with a razor blade until it was level with the surrounding finish, then sanded it...

Well this sucks. For the first time in 6+ years, I "dropped" a guitar and it actually caused damage. And it had to be the new SG! 🤬 I had it on my lap and I was removing the pickguard film when it slid off and hit the edge of the guitar on the edge of a guitar pedal. It left an indention in...

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"
