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...

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!

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

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...

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...

Not only that, but the player knows he's playing different necks, and he is doing it at different points in time and quite obviously not playing them exactly the same ways. Plus, even allowing for...
