  1. looks like someone took a hammer or soldering iron to the fret edges! LOL! when a file was all they needed... That's a little on the bit too much side..
  2. Thank you sir, may I have another? hard for a dinosaur like me hard not to like!
  3. hang your head in shame, you must a done something sparky you know what a trouble maker you can be.... LOL! JK..
  4. My hunch is cock pit error. Letting some people loose on a guitar with tools can sometimes lead to unpleasant results.
  5. would not really bug me if the price reflected that and of course, done right it does look like the repair job was solid I think the ballpark on repaired neck is 50% from what it would be without the break not sure if that's fair but that seems to be the going rate.
  6. This is one of the big draw backs with buying online. Gibson necks are a bit unpredictable.
  7. they are hands down, at the very the top of my list. I wouldn't say my life wouldn't be the same with out all those years since the second album, but, ya it probably wouldn't be. (as a guitarist Anway) the only tour I missed was I think Vapor Trails
  8. people get way too hung up on that question. I was at new years eve party, and someone had asked me if I was still playing and of course, "yes" another person listening in on that conversation proceeded to ask who I thought was the best drummer, bass player, guitar player, Band -- twas easy 1: Neil Peart 2: Geddy Lee 3: Alex Lifeson 4: Rush I already knew he hated Rush, Thankfully that ended the conversation right there! There is no BEST, there's just GREATNESS and it's a legion of players strong.
  9. for in home use the Fender is a good choice if the plan is to do some solo gigging, you'd probably favor the Fishman Loudbox Artist. IMHO the fender on board effects I like better.
  10. LR Baggs are decent sounding pickups. I have a Loudbox Artits and the Fender Acoustasonic JR. They both are pretty good acoustic amps.
  11. unless you say it like "GAY-RAHG" it's not a real garage... you brits talk kinda funny,
  12. 14k? chya,, right.. I'll take two plz.
  13. That's really a shame. How many people will purchase one of these, and not even realize it till much later. Every time I go to a GC these days, I'm reminded why I will never buy another guitar from them. Last time was well over 20 years ago, when you still had half a chance.
  14. and The Best Comment Of The Week Award goes to................. envelope please... !!!MURPH!!! Too funny
  15. thanks guys! I didn't miss too many tours Sarge. S & A was a cool concert. We pulled about 25/30 ppl together, hired out a bus to get into town and rented one of the luxury boxes at TD Garden. The Guild sounds fine, and we'll give you a pass on the Rush artwork. ha! That stuff has been there so long I kinda forgot it was there -- till I watched the video. yea.. - Fan boy much? I'll fall on my sword at some point.
  16. so easy even a cave man could do it! I thought there used to be a bit of a trick to it at one time, I've not done this in a while. too easy thanks Scott
  17. so I'm a Rush fan, always have been always will be. This tune is an Alex Lifeson instrumental off the Snakes and Arrows album released in 2007 Guild 12 string in DADAAD tuning. Recorded on Galaxy S10, which is these days good for like cave drawings and stuff.
  18. Hey all, can someone refresh my memory on how to do this on this forum?
  19. We record at my sons studio. He sends me the Pro Tools tracks on Work In Progress stuff, I can take my time develop my parts, after I import them, when I am done I just ship them back, and he drops em into the master project in Pro Tools All done via drop box. I just wish I was more proficient in pro-tools once I stop working full time that is one of my projects to embark on
  20. amen to that! nothing annoys me more that this crap right here.
  21. I've been at this since I was 10. I'm 67 in about 6 weeks. I think wherever I was getting to, I'm probably already there. There's always something to learn, some elements theory I could improve my knowledge on. Or a new number that I'm interested in, that's maybe a challenge, like some of Tommy E's stuff or guys like that. (Gerhard, De Grassi, etal.) Is that practicing, or "learning" something new? Scales, chord changes, chord voicings, I don't practice those. I mean, sure.. we all I did at one time, but now , after all these years with a guitar in my hands, they all just come without thinking about it. I still play every day. how much time varies. Could be a whole Saturday morning, or afternoon, could be a half hour after work is done and anything in between. The only woodshedding I think I still do is when I have a solo gig on the schedule and I want to add a few new tunes, and warm up the pipes so I can perform 3 full sets of singing. Good topic, made me think about it a bit. I need to practice thinking more!
  22. These are two great musicians. I've always liked Walter, I think he's great. Beth is tremendous. As for the song, I like it.
  23. That is a swing and a miss. LOL that label is hysterical
