That is really great Keith. It’s amazing you remembered that. You guys had some real beauties come through that store. I remember talking to your brother a while back about a beautiful Heritage JS...
Yeah, i'm not sure what was going on with the original one I had. Was it just my amp that was too dark? Did my tastes change? Or was it really the guitar? Hard to say. I even changed the pickups in...
Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. I have to get a pickguard put on the PM120 before I'm totally comfortable with it. I'm taking it in thursday and it'll probably be 10-14 days before I get it back...
yeah, the BK's in a league of it's own. Even the L4CES has to kneel to the BK. But feel and comfort-wise, the Ibanez 120 and GB10 are 1 and 2. The high end japanese guitars just have a fit and...
I got the V when I was in an oldies band. We played a lot of kinks and I thought it was funny that it was period correct but also “the string guitar for the gig.” I really liked it, balanced...

This is hilarious! (To me anyway) I will practice and do the fast one too.
I switched from strats to ES' in 2015. After lots of playing on it by the time I brought it out to gig it wasn't a problem. I'm in it for the humbuckers and the slinky bending. And a Gibson has...
We've got a few brass bands in the area (not really the same thing I suppose :) ), plus an actual big band in Reims.
Sounding really good. I like F# position on the guitar, very convenient IMO. Listening to your recording though, it sounded like your Leslie's motor is broken, lol
Some of my favorite players could be described as vanilla, at least, from the perspective of a player who is much more adventurous with harmony and includes a lot of outside sounds in solos. The...
The fixation bracket appears to be installed correctly though my eyes try to convince me there's something askew or asymmetric about it. They do the same about the curvature of the top of your...
Big band music alive and well in Japan
