Jazz and Blues Single Note Soloing Recommendations ?

No lingering odor. You can smell it when it's liquid, but it evaporates quickly. Once I wipe with a dry cloth I don't smell anything. Caveat: I use it, but I don't know if it's safe for every...

Telecaster - Single Coil or Humbucker?

Telecaster - Single Coil or Humbucker?

All the written specs I've ever seen for both say the depth is 3-3/8", but I've read/heard anecdotally that they're not 100% consistent and some are a little thicker. Jack has both, so maybe he can...
