The only things I plug in are the amp cord to the wall outlet and the 1/4” cable from the guitar to the amp. And it’s a cheapish Musician’s Gear.
Hey speak for yourself! I mentioned I was thinking of retiring in a few years, and one of my colleagues told me, “I thought you were 55.” I was hurt. I was hoping he would have said 45.
There’s a whole slew of musicians who started playing professionally before they could vote. Marty Stuart—started touring with Lester Flatt as a mandolin player at age 14. Derek Trucks and Joe...
Mine's a Gibson 1978 that has been played quite a bit but has held up really well. It had been refretted before I got it, a testament to its professional use for decades. The pickguard needed...
A great option IMO is to buy a H-575 and put in Fralin P-92s. H-575s are plentiful. P-92s may not sound exactly like P-90s, but they do sound single coil to me and they don't hum. They are easy to...
For those of you who don’t know, Yes! Trio is Aaron Goldberg, Omer Avital, and Ali Jackson. They have a new album out and I just noticed. I haven’t even listened to it yet, but their first album...
Oh man, that sucks. I have often wondered what I would do in that situation. I have said I would run back in to save my #1, but I probably wouldn't. As long as my wife and dogs were safe, I am...

In your twenties most aren't showing signs of aging. Green tomato until your 20, ripe tomato until 35, rotting tomato after that. And me? I'm 66.
The possession of guitars with Brazilian Rosewood w/o CITES certificate is not illegal, only the trading. And if the regulations will get stronger by enclosing other endangered species, you can...
I haven’t watched SNL in years. I lost interest after G. E. Smith and his band were cancelled. I used to watch SNL to see what nice vintage guitar(s) he was playing. That band was tight also. ...
I think a fiddle edge looks great on both acoustic and steel/brass resophonic guitars. I agree that with what Ken Parker discussed about the subject. It makes sense. I have yet to play an...
Fair point, of course there are other decades that were world changing, 1890's, 1920's, the war decades etc. You might as well throw in the 2010's if you agree that the smart phone era has made it's...
Yes! Trio
