   Yeah, velcro is usually not the most ideal product for pedalboards....I use to use zip-ties on mine when I was playing gigs. I would drill 1 small hole on either side of pedal, and zip tie those puppies right to the board. The only time those pe...(more)

   Hey Randy Well, if you want one of those puppies, I read they're only making 30 of each model! And looks like they're super expensive! LOL :) They are really sweet, though! I like the new soundhole design, too. Kinda cool I'd love to play ...(more)

   Hey Randy, Yeah, good point. Jamming with other people is a great way to start developing more as a musician.

    Yeah, I know about Fender owning them....But, I gotta' be honest here, I still can't picture Fender owning that line. Just doesn't fit.....

    Had to have been early 80's, if memory serves? Kinda funny, how, there used to be Charvel, then Charvel / Jackson guitars, NOW he's back again under the name of "WAYNE" guitars!

    You can buy wood glue syringes at StewMac. I've also seen luthiers fill small cracks with Krazy Glue. Works very well, too. (Depending on the crack / damage) http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Glues,_adhesives/Supplies:_Applicators,_syringes/Glue_Syri...(more)

    Oddly enough, one of the best shredders uses a Washburn (Nuno Bettencourt)...He's one wicked player! A close friend of mine has the Washburn N4 model...REALLY NICE guitar! And for $2K it better be nice. If I were a betting man, most people use ...(more)

    If it was an original 50's or 60's Strat, then, yeah, OK....But, obviously Fender is out of their minds. I paid about $850 for my American Deluxe (new) back in 2000, and that was a ton of cash, but, it was a nice guitar....Overpriced, but, what...(more)

    Yngwie, Vai, Satch, Paul Gilbert, Chris Poland, you name the guy, and I've been listening to them since the day they hit the scene. All I basically listen to is metal. To me, Yngwie is da' man. The guy kick-started this entire neo-classical gu...(more)
