Hi Steve,
WOW, that is stunning! Iced tea never looked that good. How does she sound?

Brilliant indeed! Much better plan than mine: buy $3K worth of lottery tickets and (here where the plan falls a bit short) HOPE to win at least $3,001.
At the very least, print out the statement and tack it on the wall above your guitars

Missed it by one day...
our version of Dog Day, yes it took place in the afternoon. I think they were arguing over "LP's reign supreme! No the SG rules!"

Hi Sparquelito,
looks like you have awesome bunch of back-up singers there. And my wife also tricks out the dogs in bandanas for special occasions (Valentine's Day, St. Paddy's, and the like)
Hey, Whitefang,
Know just what you mean, our dogs bark at anything that moves. We have a bunch of rabbits that live under the deck that drive the dogs insane.

Looks like an asymmetrical "C" shaped profile on that handle. A real beauty indeed!

Hi Darran, I'm another old guy who just joined a few months ago, and found the members on this forum to be an excellent bunch. Enjoy you stay and know that you can learn a ton from these guys

Congrats, it looks stellar! More importantly, how does it sound? Damnit, now I want one!

Wow, sad news! Hope he didn't suffer. I'm sure the band will give him the memorial he deserves.

Supplement the security of the Ring doorbell with the above pictured family pet.

So a few I haven't see yet:
John Mayer "Axis: Bold as Love" (saw him do this in concert, he tore it up)
Robben Ford "Badge"
Los Lobos "Don't Worry Baby" (don't know if David Hidalgo or Ceasar Rosas did it, but suspect they traded off)

I have used a hard-wired Ring doorbell for the past three years and the only problem was an occasional buzzing of the chime unit (non-ring component). I have found that connecting a 100 ohm resistor across the coils of the chime solved the problem. I like the "neighborhood" feature you can opt to join that lets you receive video clips other Ring neighborhood users post. I have the unit connected to my cell phone via the Ring app that alerts me when someone is at or in the vicinity of the door. Live on a lightly traveled street so I only get about 20 alerts a day, which lets me know the unit is working. Hope this helped.

Wow, impressive collection of amps! I have amp envy. As for the dogs, my wife and I were living our best lives after the kids grew up and moved out. Oldest one moves back in for a few months with her dog (small mixed breed hound), moves out and leaves dog behind. Youngest is in college living off campus and decides she needs a dog for protection. She comes home over the summer with the dog (Black lab - Rottweiler mix), and goes back to school without dog, but we love both of them.

Too funny...
I took my kids to all the Disney movies in the 90's. They loved them, I fell asleep during every one. They could never understand why I couldn't hold a conversation with them about the movie on the way home. You and the wife enjoy the grandchildren and don't forget to spoil them!

Today's lesson - don't let the kids sneak the dog tacos. EVER!

Put new brake pads and rotors on the car. Mechanic's price: $1400. DIY price $425 plus heating pad for back. Also rubbed four ounces of bourbon on my gums to help promote healing.

HI Dem00n, awesome story; how you were able to channel creative drive into an impressive career. Don't ever loose focus on what's important to you. I just joined the forum a month ago, and like you have an EE degree, now retired and living large (well, large enough to finally have time to play the guitar). Go forth and kick-@$$

Congratulations on your 65th birthday! You gotta spoil yourself with something special; like a new guitar, or two. And keep away from Joe, he looks too much like Dracula lately.

Wow, sorry to hear about the damage to your guitar. I solved this problem last year. Used to have three stands and 8 guitars, so constantly rotated guitars in and out of cases. Had a eureka moment and built a rack to hold all eight guitars in the same space the three stand s used to occupy. Made it out of scrap wood and stain from old home remodeling projects. Hope you get your problem resolved to your satisfaction.

Hi Rabs, RCT is pretty much in the ballpark with the values. Since the elusive tone quest is a bit subjective, a few things to consider are: higher value pots for the volume will minimize loading down the P/U. The cap values are kind of the opposite; lower cap values will extend the cut-off frequency since they act as (part of) a low-pass filter. I'd be curious to know how your wiring turns out, particularly if you go for different values in the volume and tone circuits. Just a suggestion if you have the pots & caps lying around, use a few clip leads to temporary lash up the volume & tone controls. Either way, good luck with the project.
Regards,
Tom

Happy July 4th to all! I am cringing a bit since we live about 1/2 mile from where the town fireworks display goes off. My dogs will be terrified the whole time. Otherwise, enjoy!

Hi Shay, I live in NJ and used to go to Neptune (the city, not the planet), once in a while for work. As I remember, Kramer went out of business in the early 1990's and were acquired by Gibson a bit later, so you might be able to get some info by contacting Gibson customer service. I don't think the city had a god of the sea but it definitely had it's share of goddesses

They still building 59 LPs in the 23rd century? Of course they are. Silly question. What else is there to do.
You know it. Gibson will be around forever. the 2259's are widely coveted in the late 23 century as vintage models.

Robben Ford is the Cadillac of guitar players and he has a track called "Chevrolet"

Hi Brad, I had JD a couple times: A criminal case where a guy stabbed his girlfriend (well, former GF), a civil case where a lady slipped on a sidewalk, and a medical malpractice case. There was so much detailed information in the malpractice case, I swear I can perform a carotid endarterectomy on you with a pen-knife. Hopefully no more JD, ever!

Les Paul Tribute
in Introduce Yourself

I agree Ralphy. What that website has for sale are LESS pauls.
Find a reputable dealer (or private seller) and play before you buy unless you are familiar with the brand/model.
Expect to pay a bit more that a hundred bucks for a decent guitar.
Good luck and enjoy the hunt
Regards,
Tom
