I doubt anyone could feel a difference from that 1/4 of an inch difference. But then, I can switch between 2 totally different guitars and never have a hiccup while others might take a couple of hours to get used to that other guitar to the point that they're comfortable with it. So maybe I'm...

I've always been learnt that having the bridge a little flatter than the fretboard is recommended. All of mine are. On all of my Indios from Monoprice, the fretboard is 13.78"(350mm) and the Gotoh ABR1 w/ part # GE104B has a 15.74"(400mm) radius. Even with that much difference, I couldn't tell...

As far as smooth necks, mine are all great. The 2 I had that were matte are nice and shiny now. The rest have always been shiny and slick. I think the 59 Les Paul Epi I got recently took maybe a week to shine up from the matte finish it had. I do have one that's different from the rest, on my...

Don't take it for granted. I almost died because I did at my job. I didn't know any better so I just did what I saw the painter do. He used a respirator when painting a car but if he was just doing a small part he didn't. So I copied him. Within 9 months, I had so much crap in my lungs that it...

LOL! I told you I didn't need all of that, then went out and bought a Boss RE-202 Space Echo 🤣🤣🤣 it's on sale for $80 off right now. Theres another, the DM-101 that's also on sale for the same price but it's usually like $499. So it's 40% off right now. Around $299 also. It says the DD200 that...

Just ordered a Boss RE-202 Space Echo while it's on sale for $80 off. This ought to be fun! 😁

Fixed those tuners. They're nice and loose now. Very easy to turn. Flooded them with oil to push the lithium grease out and spun them with a drill for 30-60 seconds and they're pretty much perfect, now. I may swap them out on next string change. I'll probably order some of the Gotoh carbon...

Ehhh. I'm just not a big delay user. I have those pedals but I rarely ever use them for anything useful. I usually just screw around with them for 5 or 10 mins, then turn it off lol. I tried again today with this new harmonizer pedal but i just wasn't feeling it 🤷 that harmonizer pedal is a...

Yep. I have 2 of the Z files now, also. So it ought to be fairly quick. Especially since I don't have to do anything except polish the frets with a buffing wheel on my drill after crowning. It takes out all of the 300 grit scratches left by the Z files and polishes them to a mirror finish. I...

I have a dual delay that I bought from Donner a couple of years ago. It's literally 2 delay pedals in a single enclosure. One for each "stereo" channel. It's different. Anybody looking to try one for cheap could try the Donner. Controlling 2 parallel delay pedals and making it sound good...

I got a bunch of stuff this Christmas. 4 pedals. 4 or 5 tools from Stewmac. Some other stuff...strings and picks. Hosco/Gotoh tuners. Maybe something else. I made out like a bandit for my bday in September so I'm good on guitars and amps for a while. I gotta do something with these tuners...

I don't think Heritage has anything to do with the finish being or looking faded. It's a nod to their original Cherry Sunburst finish on the 59s. With "heritage" meaning a style or design that pays homage to older, classic guitars, often referencing the vintage look of guitars from the 1950s...

I knew that Stewmac membership was a bad idea lmao 🤣 Just ordered a nut & saddle vise and a Fret Kisser from them. Both on sale. Still waiting on the Z file and concave fret end file that I ordered last week. They were on sale, also. Also waiting on the Ernie Ball Paradigm strings I ordered...

Ordered another DemonFX pedal. This one is an ISP Decimator II clone. Supposed to use the same technology. It has the LED's inside like the genuine DII uses. I believe it's a pretty good clone. It doesn't appear to cut off the guitar signal at higher settings like cheaper pedals such as the...

Just ordered a harmonizer pedal lol. I'd been looking for one a while ago and finally decided that I didn't need one. So I gave up on that. Well yesterday, I came across a vid where this guy demo'd a few and showed different ways to use them and it restoked the flame. The guys youtube name is...

Got a 2-pack of Ernie Ball Paradigm 10-52 strings. Ordered some more 'clown barf' picks from Banjo Ben's. Ordered a regular Z-file from Stewmac while theyre on sale for 50% off. $52 is WAYYYYYY better than $105 👌 Still on sale. $58 at Amazon Maybe something else.

D'addarios are on sale right now. $39 for a 10-pack. I might order some.

I agree. Part of what keeps those guitars inexpensive IS the lower quality electronics and hardware. Personally, I have no problem installing $600+ worth of parts on my $250 guitar. Had they been installed at the factory, it definitely wouldn't have been a $250 guitar, still. That's part of what...

I agree. My guitars are phenomenal. I didn't pay more than $300 for any of them. I guarantee if they were built to this level of quality in the US, they'd be $1200-$1500 easily. Probably even more than that. Every Indio guitar I've ever ordered from Monoprice came to me almost perfect out of the...

I've thought about buying a bass but I'm not sure I'd get on with it, tbh. I really like lead guitar so I'm not so sure I'd be satisfied playing bass. I guess I could be like Berry Oakley and treat it like it's just a big guitar lol
