    When the salesman at the Arctic Ocean Guitar Center told me he had a pair of pups that would "really bark", (for my pickup swap project), I didn't think he was being literal. Now I'm wondering what I would have gotten if I had chosen the pair he said "produced a deep growl"?

    So, what are the pickups we are talking about here?

    Heres another one

     

    It's played nice and masterfully, making full movement.
    However, I think the second part is missing somehow in my understanding of this great song. Maybe it wouldn't fit in the overall scheme of the whole album, so they left it out.
    (Oh well, slightly disappointed, just personal preferences)

    Didn’t realize I’d create such a stir with this post, but, now that I have it secured I won’t have to replace the battery for 1000 hours

    You still have to inspect that battery for possible leaks, like every 3 months.👍

    I went.

    Spent four days there. I had a great time. Saw lots of amazing guitarists and other musicians.

    Met some pedal builders too.  Since that was what I was looking for, I got to try a lot of different pedals.

    Met Matteo Mancuso also.  Talk about an amazing guitarist.  Check out these videos.  Be sure and watch his right hand technique.  Simply out of this world.

     

    Out of this world! Not even Nostradamus saw it coming. 🤓
    (Prediction: 5 years from now, everyone will be doing it this way.)

    On  My Sweetwater wish list is a Walnut J 45. Today I noticed a price drop of $500. My first reaction is: why? Would anyone have a plausible idea why.

    I’m tempted to jump on this, even though I can’t afford to.

    The prices are not supposed to be at "suggested retail price", which was an anomaly, due to lack of supply, not only of guitars, but of all other goods. This lack of supply is a direct consequence of 2 years of COVID, where factories were closed, supply-chains fell apart, etc. 

    Now things are starting to normalize, retail prices should come down to like 10-15% below the suggested retail price, at least for normal non-Custom shop guitars. So nothing to panic about! 

  6. I know it's bad manners to bring up old, forgotten threads like this, but I did follow up on the Thomann website, to see how the new Gibson hollowbodies are flying in good ole forgotten Europe. And yep, they're are actually flying. Even though they're not in stock yet, the Byrdland and the Super400 are gone. Only the Citation at around €23,000 is still there, to be "available in a few months".

    Sadly he passed away several years ago. His car went off the road in California. 

    His first few albums were all instrumental. 

    Aerial Boundaries is insane. I have it on vinyl. 

    I don’t think Jimi Hendrix could pull off what Micheal was doing. Maybe but . . .

    Haha, I watched GIMME SHELTER from a YouTube concert, he first broke a string, restrung & tuned the guitar and started playing... I still keep thinking, it was a Grand Funk Railroad song originally. You know, some of us can't sing like even if nobody is around. Gotta have great respect for real artists like Michael Hedges! (and Jimmy Page of course)

    Running Aerial Boundaries  ... 🤠

    Michael Hegdes did crazy stuff of acoustic guitars too. Remember him?

    Thanx for this, Sgt. Pepper!
    I never heard this guy, or of this guy before. Just checked "Woman of the World" by Michael Hedges from some concert. He can sing and play the acoustic, very artistic. Those left-hand fingerings are really something, as far as I can see. 😎

  9. I had to look this one up.😀
