Welcome! Don’t break your arm! It can be a set back!

Still adjusting for tonz on this one

Welcome! :cool:

“…I don’t practice. I just open the guitar case every few days and throw in some raw meat.” -Wes Montgomery

In the last Soul&Funk band I was with I had to have a Wah-wah pedal, to cover “What A Night”

Hey howdy, Known as Sonar1 at MLP. Been around various bulletin board type guitar pages since I retired from my day job in 2008, usually as “Rusty Chops” (an old stage name in the local weekend warrior club wars), or “YettoBlaster” similarly. Was a Tele guy for decades, but branched out to Les...

Rare day when I don’t play for an hour or so at some point. I couch noodle a lot. I play with friends as much as possible: sometimes in a nursing home or park gathering. Have to keep my claws lubricated, otherwise I become The Tin Man.

Same as yesterday, but now with fresh strings, Fs-1’d the fretboard, set it up to my preferences.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I had a Mesa Quad into a stereo 295, back in the day. Loud.

My 2001 MIK goldtop is great. Now my MIC Epi’s from the last couple years are at the same level, and probably older than those are too.

Cool! I suspect you’ll find it’s a keeper! Epiphone has improved every thing over the years. They have their own factories, and build their own components now. I’m very impressed by my four!

It’s stellar! Unique sounding. The mini hums are crisp and the fretwork is spot on perfect. The Epi P-90’s on my ebony custom are wonderful pickups. I once had a sixties Kalamazoo made Casino: also MIJ, MIK, and Chinese. The imports always seemed like very good copies. I’ll probably grab a...

Years ago I campaigned an old Showman head through a JBL D-120, for a long time. Finally SS stuff got good enough. Had a Tech 21 head with a great effects loop. I could put a GX processor in the loop and floor switch the loop off while I changed patches. Had a volume pedal on the processor so I...

My latest acquisition gets new strings and adjustments, then some play:

I was in the AFM on and off for twenty five years. Tuxedo gigs. Paid well up through the nineties, then less, then more less. The local club scene was very competitive. We played dance cover & soul music. Five of us. Wanted $250. Nobody wanted to pay us that. They’d say, “We’ll pay $150.” “OK...

Already put up a pic or two of this warhorse in the Telecaster thread, but it was the best working self-assembled guitar I ever cobbled together from parts, out of a half dozen attempts to get under factory guitar prices: It started when a great local Santa Cruz, CA player and friend Billy...

My last self-assembled partsocaster was my workhorse for a dozen plus years of end-of-career gigging in local clubs. Fender CS ‘51 Nocaster pickups really covered a lot of ground. I loved it, but left it behind for shorter scale length guitars as the arthritis encroaches my claws.

My 50w Quilter Aviator Cub 112. 21 lbs of Deluxe sounds.
