Pinch

Same, unless it was genre-specific.

Ha ha, so true. Every single time.

Hm, no Mustaine on the list? That won't sit well with him. Also, odd to include Kerry King but not Jeff Hanneman. If anything, the latter should have been on the list.

I know you're supposed to revere Zeppelin... I just find them, well... boring.

He sucks. I hate RATM with a passion.

1. Correct. 2. Incorrect. Think about it. Thicker string in the slots won't make the slots deeper. Well, maybe eventually, though I doubt it. 3- The jury will be out on that until the cows, and maybe even Mister Quackers, come home. I wouldn't raise the stopbar here, I know that much. You could lower the bridge if it bothers you. Don't think you have to do either. The pickups appear to be set pretty high, esp. the bridge pickup, so lots of room for experimenting. Just remember to write down the starting points. 490s usually sound good to my ears in an SG, and from that pic alone I can tell you can adjust things quite a bit. It's New Gibson Syndrome. Take a deep breath. It's gonna be fine.

First Mister Quackers, now a sock puppet. Diggin' it.

Sums up my experience with all builders and craftsmen

Isn"t it? 😉

Can't wait for distressed load-bearing walls

Just when you think you've heard everything...

Not sure about that link...

Them's fighting words!

I'm thinking the Byrdland will come back.

In 2015? Surely not?? 😉 I'm not even sure whether you're joking or not... Good Lord, that year was one for the books...

I only know of two varieties of acoustic guitars - "intact" and "broken" - so this throws me for a loop.

Rabs is on point as usual.

Absurd lists make for clicks. Clicks make advertisers happy. Money rolls in. Thanks to Steve's link, I only had to read 24 and up, but eyebrows were raised a few times. I also had no idea James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett were one person (#23). I'm thinking after he sold the "Sunny" Les Paul, he bought Hetfield.

#3. Another Jimi is #1, unsurprisingly. Sister Rosetta is no. 6. I had no idea she was a much better guitar player than e.g. Randy Rhoads, but there you go.

I would, but I doubt there's a guaranteed Mister Quackers story. Odd thing to do, reading disjointed stories from a laptop onstage...

I'd love to hear about Mister Quackers! I've heard the PF songs already. I know not one iot about his pet duck.

I guess the intro was kind of fun. The rest was... well... standard fare? But hey, so long as they're happy.

It looks a bit overdone IMHO.

I can't stop thinking about tacos here.

It's a rabbit hole I've deliberately avoided.
