I prefer using a strap tie on the neck, but my d-41 already had a button installed on the heel. I wouldn’t worry too much about doing it, but make sure you know where you want it first.

essential viewing. Mike Campbell tells the story behind all his guitars. Awesome

I love Mike, but that fucking hair dye job is a crime against humanity.

what is it?  Is that a redo of a vintage, or an actual vintage?  I'm confused by the headstock and then the modern sticker in the hole.

I am super stoked to be playing this one! Ive known for a month but we weren't allowed to say anything until the Hickoids announced it. I think its the coolest poster I've ever been on.

Hell yeah. I got my Koffs sticker on my toolbox and buttons on the grill cloth of my 4 x 12 I use with my BF Bassman.

I assumed we would be 1st when we were invited, being 2nd seems like an upgrade. We killed at our last show there, probably why. 

We got invited to open for them a couple years ago, but by the time we confirmed they had found another band. I went anyway, it was a great time. 

OK, now fix the headstock so it doesn't look weird on strat body, and get a different signature endorsement guy that isn't so douchey.

 

 

Ive been really impressed with my other Sire LP and the bass, that I decided to buy an S style. Less than 500 all said and done as the newer version just came out.

This thing is perfect. Locking tuners, rolled board edges, perfect frets and fret ends, tuner peg heights go from high to low as you move up the headstock, so no string trees. The action was perfect right of of the box. Low and very playable. No buzz whatsoever. 

Like the look of the roasted maple and love the back of the neck being satin. 

So, 2nd Sire guitar, a the bass, I ive had zero nits to pick about any of them.

Um...it's not a Tele.

Yeah, the semi-hollow tele body with p90s intrigues the fuck out of me.

I sure wish those pickups were chrome.

Red with black pick guard and black p90 soap bars would be my choice.

Plus, the Adkins has a set neck.

This record is taking forever to get mixed. I got this track back last night. I love this one. They wrote it about the guy I replaced, Ronnie, when he moved away. He's back here now and is actually cool as fuck.

Ignoring the clickbait headline (spoiler:  nothing goes off the rails, much less OFF THE RAILS).

 

I'll save you the torture of having to listen to Rick fucking Beato. TL;DR Paul Smith is still an ass and vintage Strats are still better. 

I watched that video.  By the end I was so tired of that stupid riff I was searching for an ice pick to either deafen or lobotomize myself.

revisiting this important question - prepping for the gig a month or so ago, I've definitely landed on team tophat. There were a few moments in the set where I wanted to go from neck pickup rhythm stuff to bridge lead or bridge pickup impersonating a baritone type lines, and the tophat with a little bit of tape under there so it doesn't go flying off makes it so you can just flick it really easily.

I like his guitars, except the Silver Sky bullshit, but Paul does seem like a bit of a douche.

Looked at the Rat Boys and thought-

“They’re the ugliest band since The Smithereens.”

Then went to the IG home page and was presented with a much more interesting (waist) band.

 

*edit*
I’m so jealous of gen z kids some times. Like goddamn I was at least this cool
