Does owning a Marshall MG-15R and a Marshall MS-2 even count in qualifying to post on this forum?

A little background information first. About a year ago, I resumed playing the guitar after an almost 40 years hiatus. I had always been a Gibson Les Paul fan boy in my dreams, but never could afford one back in the day. Today I could, but being a little cautious as to whether becoming the...

No worries about bumping up old threads, as long as long as they are technically related and not sitting in the backstage area. :-) Somehow, I resolved the issue during that time by ordering a Gotoh GE101A Stop Tailpiece N, installing it, but only to find out that it didn't cut the mustard...

The cutters from GrooveTech come at $11, in US pricing, from Thomann, where I purchase (almost) all my stuff, for convenience. They also offer a cheaper one from Harley Benton, and two more expensive ones. But the GrooveTech got the best reviews, and I'm quite happy with them. I had previously...

Thanks for the heads up.

"Subtle joke"? - Oh, come on. I have actually wondered oftentimes why this thing - on the guitar I mean - is referred to as "the nut" in English, but there you go. Anyway, if you are 65, like me, or older, you have probably given up on playing with your nuts already, as it has turned into a...

This is plain rocket science. GraphTech TUSK XL Nuts (Product Page) Installing a Slotted Nut (Video, Permanent Lubrication at 0:35)

A TusqXL nut, and a pair of Groovetech strings cutters.

Hi Scott, I am Rüdiger, probably a bit difficult or impossible to pronounce in English, but in my conversations with English speaking people, the closest to it would be as in "rue digger". ☺️

Tilting back and forth between conscience and temptation, and notwithstanding any rationale, I nearly always keep a Gibson on my wishlist, and just today, I went for this one: Gibson Les Paul Studio Session HoneyB

For sure it is a life-long journey which never ends. Sadly enough, I have resumed mine only a couple of months ago seriously, after an almost 40 years hiatus. I do enjoy my Epiphone Les Paul, I actually fell in love with it immediately, and I don't mind spending a little money on it every once...

Thanks for you input. Thing being that I have already replaced it with a Gotoh GE-103B-T Nickel bridge, and I don't regret doing so, considering the €40 well spent. Part of this being that it seemed mandatory swapping it as I had foolishly messed around with the radius already by filing the...

Not at all. In German, as in any other language, we have our share of metaphors, too, but there are always just so many which are compatible back and forth, and "strings attached" isn't one of them, as the meaning would get lost in translation.

This is one of those lines which won't work in German, unfortunately.

I will admit to being an amateur in places like these, also in terms of suffering from GAS, but I have almost been sure about this evolving into a p******* contest of sorts very soon. :) However, I didn't even bother mentioning a host of smaller items that I have purchased all through the year...

This year I have ordered 5 guitars: Harley Benton SC-400 SGT Classic Epiphone Les Paul Classic HCS Epiphone Les Paul Standard 50`s MG Gibson Les Paul Studio Cherry Sunburst Epiphone 1961 Les Paul SG Standard CH And I have returned 4 guitars: Harley Benton SC-400 SGT Classic Epiphone Les Paul...

Fascinating. I really wasn't familiar with all that background information, and it may seem a little biased or promotional at first, being home-made, but I guess all the testimonials make this a true statement, last but least by Helge Schneider and the neighbour in the interview, although I did...

I also never assumed it was anything about the colours looking faded or something along these lines, or else, the finish of my very beautiful Epiphone Les Paul Heritage Cherry Sunburst would belie the entire concept, for the very least. Perhaps I had better rephrase my original question as in...

Alright guys, you are always great when it comes to giving a whole lot of useless information, or just dish out some kind of nonsense at random, but thanks to the Internet, more useful information can always be found if you do your own research. So, as a starting point, here is this: Definition...

Can you translate that to French?
