Too good to be true

That's a fairly well known Django Rheinhardt tune; it's been recorded under various - but similar - names - Minor Blues, Blues en Mineur, Blues in G Minor, to name but three variations. Here's an...

Help me identify a song

Until I got to the unprocessed DI clips at the end, I was surprised to hear a hair more bottom in the sound from the maple. But without the heavy processing (at least heavy to a jazz guy), I hear a...

Rosewood vs Maple fretboard head to head - There's a difference

Yeah the part writing rules are so riddled with exceptions that they aren’t really useful as rules beyond classrooms. I think they all boil down to The Voices Must Sound Independent. Parallel...

Tritone chord root movement

I used to own a Gibson ES-339 Studio that had a Baked Maple fingerboard, and I assume a maple neck as well. I really enjoyed that combination on that instrument. It had had a bit brighter snap!

Many Class D amps rely on IcePower modules, which in my understanding can be replaced. It's up to the amp manufacturer how and at what cost this can happen. They buy the modules at OEM prices, which...

Two conductor wire or this pre-tinnes gavitt for archtop/hollowbody?

…not if you close your eyes and are given them in random order. And you can control for intertest consistency by presenting the same one multiple times.

I recently succeeded in fixing a freezer by installing a new thermostat. It was pure guesswork as to what the problem was. So a great result not having to buy a new freezer. Also put a new drive...

Are Modern Amps Repairable?

My understanding is that the "standard" version is thinner (around 2"), and the "deep" version is 3-3/8" (like a 175). Deviser's website is no help as far as measurements go, but the pictures of...

Seventy Seven Hawk Jazz Deep on Reverb

So each neck definitely has noticeable signature in the overall sound. But it's hard to generalize the tone based on the wood. I have an all parts rosewood tele neck that makes the guitars sound very...

Rosewood vs Maple fretboard head to head - There's a difference

I've had teles with maple, rosewood, and ebony fretboards. They were all a little different, and of course, there were other factors that were different as well...One guitar though, I had a maple...

Rosewood vs Maple fretboard head to head - There's a difference

I've (knock wood) never had a tube amp or digital amp die on me. I did however have a 42" Vizio TV die on me. I googled what could be wrong with it, and found the part most likely to blow, how to get...

Are Modern Amps Repairable?

Here is another comparison with to my ears different results. In this case the maple sounds warmer than the rosewood IMO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toDXW-WAoJA
