  3. Just wanted to say hello lounge, some of you that have been here for a while might remember me. II used to be on here allot, same old same old with me although I’m selling more guitars then I’m buying now. Heck Ive got my guitar herd under 40 now.

  5. Nice work I enjoyed reading through all of these since i have not been on here in quite a while.
  6. Two comments first why the hell would anyone put a magnet on a guitar pickup in the first place? Then secondly I'm not buying it - why would putting a magnetic on a guitar pickup ruin it? a Tele don't have active pickups so you could not have damaged anything electronic so what would it damage? It won't play right with a magnet there that's for dam sure but as soon as you removed the magnets the guitar should play fine again. The only way you could damage the pickup is if you magnetized the metal case by leaving a really strong magnet there long enough to magnetize some metal component and at worse you would have to degauss the pickup. Or if you had a really strong magnet like and electromagnet that could demagnetize the pickups own magnets but that would take a pretty good sized magnet. More likely you magnetized the strings which can happen easily but that's a simple fix change the strings. I know that because if you fool around enough with a ebow or other electronic magnetic toy you magnetize the strings, not ruin the pickup. Ive kept stack's of telecaster pickups in a shoe box stuck together for years and they work just fine. So somebody please explain how they think this could ruin a passive pickup. I was sure enough about this I just stuck a magnet onto my tele and played it as suspect sounded like total crap with the field distorted pulled the magnet off and the guitar was fine no issue at all, somebody need to send this to the Mythbusters TV show. Ive found that unless you try taking them apart of you damage the windings in some way guitar pickups are tough. Ive literally found old ones in luthiers junk drawers covered in all sorts of crap with screws and other stuff stuck all over the megnets and it the cases are in tact pull the stuff off clean em up and they work fine usually when a pickup is damaged it's because somebody was trying to work on it or something like that.
  7. Estrada acoustic low end asian made but usually sound all right. good beater to drag around to classes or pass it on to a kid somewhere that wants to learn

  8. Why thank you for your trust in me as a tattoo removal artist :) bwahahahahahahhaaaaa

  9. Warren Haynes new album "Man in Motion" it was released on may 10th.
  10. How about a Pro there still a Traditional?
  11. My wife is like that a Benadryle or Excedrin pm. and she's out. I can take Ambien CR a prescription muscle relaxer and a painkiller and not even feel it. Guess I might of had a few too many controlled substances in me over the years. Probably a good side to it though just like everything in life - just think I don't need to donate blood anymore, now my blood has street value
  12. Sleep depravation and insomnia are very common in todays complex world where physical exhaustion from work is almost gone. I had a sleep specialist tell me that almost everybody has issues sleeping sometimes how often it occurs and how long it lasts is what determines if it's a problem or not. The doctor told me that only kids and idiots never have trouble sleeping. So for those that said they never have problems well let's just hope your young
  13. I typically post on here between midnight and 4am so I obviously haven't beaten insomnia in fact it's pretty much whupped my butt for years. I usually sleep 2-3 hours a day and that's with Ambien CR, Muscle relaxers, anti crazy pills and pain meds.
