  1. He did, of course. And a few others. Ever used one? Ever done one song, like that popular one from the guy above using a double neck? Maybe Hotel Eaglefornia? rct
  2. If I had a nickel for every raggedy or incorrect screw hole I completely ignored and rocked on with it... rct
  3. If you didn't make your plans last year I doubt there are any hotels left anywhere along totality. We got ours last summer in Cleveland, and didn't even get gouged. rct
  4. One of most useless guitars ever invented. rct
  5. Yes, Cesar will tell his design team he is busy this afternoon look at the designs some guy on the internet wants to implement because, you know, that's how business works. rct
  6. Ok, disregard. But don't disregard anything I said about how your guitars are set up, because I said nothing about that at all. String height is measured at that point because it works with proper relief to set the neck up to perform properly all over the neck. It isn't a number we would like it to be, for the most part, it is a number that is spec'd to provide correct performance all over the neck. If you want 3/64 at the 12th, set the guitar up to spec first. You will have to give it a tad more relief in order to get 3/64 at the 12th, but it is possible. If you wanted me to set your guitar up that way I would certainly try, but you might not like the feel of it at around the 6th - 10th fret area because of the relief needed, and it might have some annoying buzzing past the 12th. To get the 12th that low may show you quickly that some of the frets up high aren't perfect. Good luck with it. rct
  7. I'll say it again. It isn't working out for you. It isn't even working out for the guy that says it works out. I come along and tell you facts, there are physics involved, setting up a guitar has numbers for all good reasons. There it all is, and again, even the guy from the company can't do it. It's either the way it is and trying this is a fail for everyone involved, for the reason I stated, or it is snark. It's up to you. rct
  8. Right. String height is measured at the first fret above the body join. So on Fenders it is measured at the 17th. On Gibsons, I don't remember, but a quick look says I would measure at the 17th also for an SG. I don't know when measuring at the 12th became the thing. It isn't. It wasn't ever. rct
  9. If the Yamano guy had to use the restroom and he missed that one, or he had a slight cold and was not quite paying attention, or he just didn't like it, it would be the same as any other Custom Shop job. He picks them. They pick them. There is nothing at all different about them. I could simply say that my Custom Shop guitar is one that Yamano missed, right? rct
  10. I still listen to FrampToon Comes Alive regularly. A great live record in a time of great live records. Right before the live one came out, Mrs saw him at Glassboro State College, $6.00 a ticket, only a couple hundred people in a 2000 seat theater, that same band on the live record. Well, she wasn't Mrs yet, in fact we weren't even dating yet, but, you know. rct
  11. A bit of slack in your truss, so maybe it is loose. Turn it clockwise just until it stops. Or, you have a neck with a bit of a twist in it to begin with, and it is going for it. I had an American PBass with this mild twist situation, and true to form, it did not get better, only got a little worse. Either way, not really a great situation, but not exactly the end of the world, Trade it for a good guitar. rct
  12. Don't need tickets, but last year we did manage to secure a hotel room out in CleveTown to be in totality of the full eclipse next month. Stoked. rct
  13. Yes, a decade ago it was still pretty good, not nearly as good as the decade before that, it was starting to...I don't know. We were at the convention center one year in February for the Craft Council and got blizzarded in. It was dope as hecks, had a great time, one of many down there. We miss it. rct
  14. They are. We feel right at home talking whilst in Charm City. Well, we did. We haven't stayed down there in quite a few years now. We used to go to AVAM pretty regularly, and the American Craft Council show at the convention center. A lot of really good times down there, but the harbor just hasn't been good. Maybe we should try again. rct
  15. Balmer accent is the only one worse than Philly/South Jersey accent. rct
  16. If you sing in a band a lot, a long time, you get used to it pretty quickly. When you get used to hearing it you can be honest with yourself in that one could be good to great, others not so good to great, downright terrible. If you can be honest like that because you are used to hearing yourself, you can then figure out what you have to do to make it at least better the next take or the next night out. If you harmonize a lot with a band, you not only get used to it you enjoy it very much because there really aren't that many things that feel as good as a nice couple lines of three part done well by all three. Or four or five if you are really lucky with your band. Then you look forward to it, it's that good. I have it on pretty good authority from others, not me, that moving a few hundred thousand or a mil and a half or so records with your voice on it definitely changes how you hear yourself. I have a passably ordinary voice that does only a few things well in a band and everything in the studio just well enough to get by. It is what it is, and I am used to it. rct
  17. You wore togas back then right? rct 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄
  18. Good cardio when I have to briskly stride away from my own farts. rct
  19. That original guitar was from a fireplace, I do remember that. Maybe. rct
  20. Free shipping? Are used ones going for 60k on Reverb already? Does it NAIL a Dumble? Will it play well with my Klons? rct
