"Why Do The World's Best Guitarists Play On the Round Corner?"

$249 actually seems good to me, An SM 57 is $100 and that's my baseline mic. The amount of crap I'd have to buy to hook that up to my phone would easily get me over $249.

Dude.... don't use a screwdriver to jack up the bridge on your archtop. You're going to gouge the top. Just loosen the strings a little.

There were also the ES-275 thinline hollowbody range, which came and went in 2-3 years. I personally liked them, except for the too narrow for me neck. The signature L5s were nice too. The only...

Sorry, what are cadence fourths? On the face of it, just practice your scales in intervals. Pick one a week and do 15m a day, maybe?

What makes you say the refret is horrible? Did you try taking it back to the luthier who did it to get it corrected?
