Nice guitar. I too got one on sale but the single pickup version. I initially stopped at a GC and did not like the two they had, body made of too many pieces , sky high action, rough neck, etc. A day later I was heading to a show and needed to kill about 20 minutes, stopped by another GC and there it was a black one , two-piece body where you can hardly tell where the joint is, a lovely neck, etc. very well made but heavy for a Jr, almost 8 pounds. The guitar had a nick, negotiated the price to $515, the guys at GC were nice. I am very happy with it, it hangs nice and low, siper slim neck and great sounding P90.

Damn tornado really put a hurt on that long *** path it took. I live in the south side of Nashville and it is hilly around here, tornadoes typically prefer flatter areas. Searcy is OK, he's northwest of the city, bad blues player is in east TN I believe, I wonder if Big Tim? is OK I slept hard that night and it bothered me the next day because I had no idea there were warnings, woke up to multiple messages, texts, school cancellation, my work emergency contact, etc. I woke up in a daze wondering what the hell was going on, as the news kept coming I realized the magnitude of the loss of life and damage. There are a bunch of benefit shows happening and I hope this virus does not throw a wrench on those plans. There are some confirmed cases in the area.

My favorite Kelloggs granola bars became tiny, so I switched to Kashi cereal bars and those not only got smaller after a while but terrible. A really good steak burger place in the neighborhood shrank the size of their paddies for sure just to name a few. Their chicken wings became "one pound" meaning 10, not a dozen. But what's worse is how expensive Nashville has become in the last 5 years since a world of people from California, New York and other places have moved here. $6 Miller Lites at the honky tonks, WTF. This place is almost unrecognizable.

I wanted to enter the contest to win that guitar but I was super busy those days and simply did not get to make a video, I had a few ideas on what to do but oh well. I do wonder who won the guitar.

When possible using a clip on tuner is all you need. Turn down the volume know all the way, tune up. My ideal way of tuning would be a Victoria Secret model to wrap her arms around me from the back and tune my guitar while I take a swig of Tequila.

I this case I personally would not wire a Jimmy Page setup even though I have experience soldering. Just too much going on. Having said that the price is pretty steep.

A lot of people are anti-PCB on their guitars, then plug into pedals that have PCBs (even if it's just a tuner) and amps that have huge PCB boards. Weird. Guitars with active electronics which have PCBs have existed for decades and they are fine.

Did you strap them on? SG dive to several degrees, in my experience just about all of them do and a lot has to do with where you wear the guitar, if you strap'em high there is less run on the strap and the neck dive will be less. If the guitar is strapped very low that can help with neck dive as well. In between it gets tricky. The new SG I bought has a slight neck dive, now, many would not consider this particular case a neck dive but I do. No way i could use a seat belt strap with it.

If your guitar has neck dive and do not like gripping straps that will bunch up your shirt this is what I did: A mutli-tool holster with belt loop and velcro that attaches to the strap on the back of the guitar. I put a 1/2 led ingot in it and that's all you need, if the guitar has extreme neck dive and you are using a super slick strap maybe an additional 1/4 pound or 1/2 will be needed. Adding one pound will make any guitar balance like an Explorer. You can also just leave a multi-tool in the holster instead of the led if the tool is heavy enough. The nice thing about this is there is no modification to the guitar and can be transferred to others, a slick strap will work and not grab your shirt. I had to do this because I have nerve problems stemming all the way from my neck and just that effort to be propping up the neck with my hand was bothering me a lot.

This whole album is the business. Kamelot - Karma http://youtu.be/E-4T4ZABA-w

Oh yea, I preordered both CD and LP directly from Nuclear Blsst as soon as I was able.
