  1. Dimebag, Slash, and to a certain degree Dweezil also litter many pages from the late 80's to the mid 2000's endorsing every product ever through the door at NAMM.
  2. [video=youtube;OyVjdQXNs9s] Here is Earl rocking it with Bowie 31 years ago.....
  3. Duh they look cheap.... they are selling for $199 new. What did ya'll want? A dragon fretboard, 10 top, with a COA?

Don't call your guitar "Kylie" or "MacKenzie" or "Schuyler" or "Caitlin". My wife, born in 1979, is "Kylie", so I guess that is out.
  5. Yeah Pesky that looks good. Can you give me a quick step by step of what you did...what worked...what didn't. thanks
  6. Gitter wrote: Spindle sander, or chuck an abrasive spindle into a drill press, or be careful as **** with a Dremel sanding wheel, then finish by hand. Not exactly a mystical process. You're shaping channels into a flat surface. You could use rasps/files and finish with sandpaper, if you wanted. It all boils down to how patient you are and/or how confident you are with high speed tools that cut fast, but bear in mind something like a Dremel cuts many times faster than a human being can react so the object is to work SLOWLY as possible with it, removing material in passes, not big, deep 'cuts'. Know that you're gutting the value of any neck you do it to, please for the love of god don't do it on something like a 1980's Charvel or the like... Thanks Gitter, You know these guys on Ebay that offering to do this for $99 per neck must have this down to a 45-60 process..... (Roy at Smooth Grooves once told me he had designed his own tooling and could do a neck in 30 mins flat) I'd like to get good enough to knock one of these down in a few hours vs. days. No worries on trying this on the good stuff..... the el cheapo's is where I shall start
  7. I've had scalloped neck strats since the 90's...always had one or two...... usually either had a Malmsteen USA or two hanging around, or I would have Roy at Smooth Grooves do it...(retired now) So I have a few inexpensive necks laying around....and I want to give scalloping a shot....but how? I've watched a few Bieber clones on Youtube ruin a few necks...but anyone have a clue what tools are used to do it right? Dremmel? Sandpaper? Sledgehammer? I am literally clueless.
  8. Let's see your frankenstrats.....with specs please !!!
  9. Should have made the list: Brad Paisley Brent Mason David Grissom Johnny Hiland Redd Volkaert Steve Morse Dann Huff Arlen Roth Dean Parks Sonny Landreth Leo Kottke Michael Hedges Roy Clark Glenn Campbell John Jorgensen Will Wray Louie Sheldon Tommy Tedesco WHile all these folks are amazingly talented.....I can see why they aren't on most lists......why? for influence........EVH alone has more influence in one of his signature trademarks: ie: locking trem, D tuna, two hand tapping brought to the masses, etc... then all of these players have combined.
  10. 85 Randy Rhoads 96 Angus Young of AC/DC People who are misplaced are in italics, people who shouldn't even be on it are in bold. People whom i've never heard of are underlined. People i have no opinion on are left blank. Sorry to hike my leg in your lucky charms broomstick cowboy..... but Randy Rhoads and Angus Young both belong on anyone's top 100 list if influence is even a considered category. Those two alone have probably inspired 15% of the worlds guitar playing population.
  11. This is Rolling Stone Magazines Top 100 Guitarist list of all time (in their "professional" opinion) ......they say the list was based on creativity, style, and raw talent. As you look through this..... What placements do you agree/disagree with? Whose placement on the list is like a joke to you? Who in your opinion shouldn't even be on the list? Who isn't there that needs to be? Discuss 1. Jimi Hendrix 2. Duane Allman of the Allman Brothers Band 3. B.B. King 4 Eric Clapton 5 Robert Johnson 6 Chuck Berry 7 Stevie Ray Vaughan 8. Ry Cooder 9. Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin 10 Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones 11 Kirk Hammett of Metallica 12 Kurt Cobain of Nirvana 13 Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead 14 Jeff Beck 15 Carlos Santana 16 Johnny Ramone of the Ramones 17 Jack White of the White Stripes 18 John Frusciante of the Red Hot Chili Peppers 19 Richard Thompson 20 James Burton 21 George Harrison 22 Mike Bloomfield 23 Warren Haynes 24 The Edge of U2 25 Freddy King 26 Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave 27 Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits 28 Stephen Stills 29 Ron Asheton of the Stooges 30 Buddy Guy 31 Dick Dale 32 John Cipollina of Quicksilver Messenger Service 33 & 34 Lee Ranaldo, Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth 35 John Fahey 36 Steve Cropper of Booker T. and the MG's 37 Bo Diddley 38 Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac 39 Brian May of Queen 40 John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival 41 Clarence White of the Byrds 42 Robert Fripp of King Crimson 43 Eddie Hazel of Funkadelic 44 Scotty Moore 45 Frank Zappa 46 Les Paul 47 T-Bone Walker 48 Joe Perry of Aerosmith 49 John McLaughlin 50 Pete Townsend 51 Paul Kossoff of Free 52 Lou Reed 53 Mickey Baker 54 Jorma Kaukonen of Jefferson Airplane 55 Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple 56 Tom Verlaine of Television 57 Roy Buchanan 58 Dickey Betts 59 & 60 Jonny Greenwood, Ed O'Brien of Radiohead 61 Ike Turner 62 Zoot Horn Rollo of the Magic Band 63 Danny Gatton 64 Mick Ronson 65 Hubert Sumlin 66 Vernon Reid of Living Colour 67 Link Wray 68 Jerry Miller of Moby Grape 69 Steve Howe of Yes 70 Eddie Van Halen 71 Lightnin' Hopkins 72 Joni Mitchell 73 Trey Anastasio of Phish 74 Johnny Winter 75 Adam Jones of Tool 76 Ali Farka Toure 77 Henry Vestine of Canned Heat 78 Robbie Robertson of the Band 79 Cliff Gallup of the Blue Caps (1997) 80 Robert Quine of the Voidoids 81 Derek Trucks 82 David Gilmour of Pink Floyd 83 Neil Young 84 Eddie Cochran 85 Randy Rhoads 86 Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath 87 Joan Jett 88 Dave Davies of the Kinks 89 D. Boon of the Minutemen 90 Glen Buxton of Alice Cooper 91 Robby Krieger of the Doors 92 & 93 Fred "Sonic" Smith, Wayne Kramer of the MC5 94 Bert Jansch 95 Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine 96 Angus Young of AC/DC 97 Robert Randolph 98 Leigh Stephens of Blue Cheer 99 Greg Ginn of Black Flag 100 Kim Thayil of Soundgarden
  12. I guess I am a freakin oddball here..... I thought old Metallica and later Metallica sucked ass..... Only could tolerate the Black Album & Load......but REALLY hate the 1st 3 albums .....yeah, yeah....I know that is sacrilegious to most....but I hated Kill em', Lightning, and Puppets..... BAD. With Crue..... I like most of the hits and pretty much the whole Dr. Feelgood album. So I am Motley Crue > Metallica .....as far as Spoooooon mannnn...... that was the weakest song on Superunknown.... Black Days, Black Hole Sun and My wave off the same LP are all solid.
  13. Now I don't like paying e-Bay anymore than anyone else, but if you saw my listing through their service then I believe they are entitled to their cut. Agree 100%. I get tons of emails on ebay where people are like "screw these no-good c**ksuckers, lets do a deal off ebay, so you don't have to pay fees."....... No thank you...... if ebay is what brought my item to have 37 watchers, and a nice bidding shoot out at the end.... I will gladly pay them their cut. That's 100 times easier than dealing with Craigslist tossers that can't understand: 1) Cash only doesn't mean that I am accepting weed as a form of payment. 2) No, I am not picking you...(and your German Shepard) up....to come look, and a ride back if you buy....or if you don't..... and if you do....I'm not carrying the 5150 2x12 combo you just bought up 4 flights of stairs since you are on disability. 3) Since used gear is sold under the tacit assumption of 'as is, no warranty,' no, I'm not going to sign a document *handwritten by you* swearing that the 15 year old DOD "Envelope Filter" you just bought from me for twenty bucks won't blow up, melt, or fall apart while you gig over the next 5 years.
  14. I'll admit...sometimes I get hooked on a Youtube vid (usually music related/song/live performance) and I will play it 10 times a day. Post the YouTube videos that you currently can't stop playing.......
