The history of flatwound guitar strings

Stopped by the Ibanez booth today….

Interesting Charts

That is the thing about Gibson guitars, particularly from that era. There are exceptions to every rule. I suspect that the luthiers were able to exercise some discretion in those days. Bravo to the...

What you said was a personal attack and I responded as I saw fit. Your assertion that most heroin/Fentanyl addicts are that way due to the medical industry seems like a lame excuse for people that...

If so, it certainly isn't evident from your statements here, which is all that I said: "I don't think you realize how misanthropic or ignorant some of your comments make you sound." You've posted...

I see that you thought the better of your personal attack. Too late, I quoted it. To answer your question, I respond to personal attacks mainly to amuse myself. And it is working. shreddin'

All you seem to be capable of is personal attacks. Does doing that make you feel more manly? You liberals really don't like people who disagree with you. And so you respond with ad hominem...

^^^ Yeah, I think I've figured out I just really like guitars. Almost all of them.

To be fair, I didn't take Mick's post about a "knowledge gap" as an insult, it might be a spot on critique. I have definitely spent a lot of time learning tunes in a more fleshed out manner, and then...

+1 I love Strats, Teles and Lesters AND I love archtops. I suspect that in both the world of guitar collectors and pro musicians (and with SUCCESSFUL pro musicians, those two groups most certainly...
