  1. Might as well! Harmony Vogue B - circa 1935-1940. Not sure of an exact year. She's in a bad state right now, but she's being taken care of
  2. It could be a raised fret. I have the same thing somewhere on my fingerboard. One fret is too high, so if you fret another note that's near the problematic fret, the string will buzz on the bad fret. One way to determine this is to take a straightedge - a ruler or something. Place it so that the straight edge is on the frets, with the ruler going along the length of the fingerboard, perpendicular to the frets. Place it around the buzzing area, and try to rock it - if you do have a high fret, then the ruler should rock like a see-saw because it's pivoting on the high fret. Maybe try taking it to a tech to see what's wrong. It sounds like you need a fret leveling. I don't know, though, I'm not an expert.
  3. +1 to EG. I'd really like to learn, however. I'm doing a bit, but I'm certainly not as good as Mr. Knopfler: [YOUTUBE]Re9qdd6GdTg[/YOUTUBE]
  4. I am currently constructing a guitar out of my own feces I have been collecting for the last couple years (only the really dense black ones). Its going to be called the {censored}ocaster. When I take this stuff out of the freezer and dethaw it Ill use local grasses and form it into a strat shape and let it dry in the sun, then ill laquer it and add a warmoth neck. I wouldn't do that, dude. It's gonna play like a piece of {censored}.
  5. Wasn't me. Unless I've gotten so good at it I did it with my mind without knowing.... TELEKEBANHAMMER!
  6. A couple of Squier bits and bobs, UK Electronics. Squier Bullet Strat, I think, but not sure. The pickups are slightly undersized for some reason, and don't have removable covers, just for your information. The polepieces are staggered to match the arc of the strings.
  7. I know sure as hell that I don't {censored}in' want it...
  8. Not yet The first guitar I picked up with the intention of learning to play was a kid size Spanish guitar that my sister had. Cheese cutter, looked like it went through a {censored}ty neck repair. The first guitar I actually truly owned myself was a 1935-1940 Harmony Vogue model B that I found at my local dump. Beautiful piece of work - black with a small tobacco burst, 14-fret 000 shape, absolutely stunning. However, it has bridge belly and a bent neck joint, resulting in... yes... cheese cutter. Still great though, and I learned on it. I'm taking it to Hugh Manson's store in February to see what needs doing, and maybe get a price quote on repair. First electric... a {censored}ty Silvertone Citation starter pack thing. Again, I loved it, but it wasn't the best. After a while the tremolo arm got serious play, and eventually I sold it as parts after a few botched mods. Now, I have a {censored}ty eBay partscaster with no finish. Just a quick job, as I was so desperate for an electric again. But, it's all about to change. As a christmas present from the parents, I'm getting a fully loaded Strat body that was won off eBay - single-ply '57 spec pickguard, very light Sonic Blue, totally fifties. I'm planning to top it all off with a one-piece maple neck from AxesRUs, with vintage hardware and some other bits and bobs. So that should be my first truly decent guitar
  9. Well, you asked for it...! Fender Jaguar, all black American Vintage Fender '57 Stratocaster, Surf Green: Fender '72 Thinline Telecaster, natural: Manson MB-1, red glitter: Mazi Bee's beautiful Strat: As for pedals, all I'd really need is a Boss multi-effects (just as long as it comes with a {censored}ing manual... have you seen those things? ), a Digitech Whammy, and a Zvex Fuzz Factory. I love the tones you can get with the FF, plus it can do these awesome electronic screams. As for amp... well, I don't know. I'm hoping to go and check some out and see what's best for me. I wouldn't mind a vintage-style Fender, though... beautiful clean/overdriven tone. I really don't know, it's just gonna be what sounds best to me.
  10. no... wish it was! I spend a lot of my time illustrating. Holy crap, that is incredible, man! If the chick had a beret, she'd look exactly like a friend of mine As for me... well, yep, music is my biggest thing! I guess a lot of people on here only do it as a hobby/amateur thing, but I want to go all the way to the top, and be a famous rawkstar When I'm not on HC (and I'm only on here for a couple of hours every day), and I'm not eating a meal or anything, I'm practicing guitar and music in general. It's my life
  11. I sanded the back of my neck down to the wood, to try and make it faster. It's going green
  12. I have compiled a list of all forumites who have committed themselves to SAVE ROCK AND ROLL. They have pledged to KICK ASS and ROCK AS HARD AS THEY POSSIBLY CAN!!!!!!!! ...you will be recognized for your true dedication to ROCK AND ROLL and protecting the right of ALL to ROCK IN THEIR OWN WAY. Holy {censored}, this is made for me. I could not agree more. Hardly anybody does rock 'n roll anymore! Nowadays, it's all either heavy metal with br00tally low tunings and spiky guitars, or powerchord pop-punk/indie. It sucks. Where has the real music gone?! Of course, those people can rock how they want, but real rock dominates above all. Sign me the hell up! Save rock 'n roll!
