BS.

Oh wait 401...

My tone comes from ODs and amp and staying inside the headroom.

So ther🤓e

Torque keys would help in checking lug tolerances.

Geez and I was just trying to cop the Crossroads tone.

Still lost. All the connections are fixed resistance but the signal can be charmed to ignore this?

A negative impedance converter (NIC) is an active device that adds or subtracts voltage in series to the voltage drop across an equal positive impedance.

Sounds good except I can't grasp the idea. Might as well be an open circuit. :D

So it's the wires like you'd think not the signal. Which begs the question, what does an impedance converter do?

Since you brought it up, I still don't get how a signal has an impedance.

That’s debatable but the price increase is clear, $430 for a classic vibe tee 

Whoo no pre-evacuated fecal matter. (take that! censor bot) I looked at the page and saw sub 299 strats and sub 300 teles.

I saw that too, but they do have some  lookers. Have you checked the price of a Squire lately? They’re all crazy 

I think the Rondo strats and teles were all sub 200 though. Are Squires the best cheap Fenders?

Just checked Rondo and the Pauls are 6 hunnerd!1!1

and fah--aahhk

I used Minwax wipe on poly on two Carvins. Applied with folded paper towel and wiped off before tacking. Did this repeatedly, didn't seem to build but the finish is still holding. Oh, and gloss free.

In the before zombies time there used to be 3 for $20 strat deals.

Like the Red Seven demo the clean sounds and the bouncy ballsy riffs.

it is probably 'lespaul67'...😉

Belated lol although it seems timely.

I'm hearing some vicious grind - big tube and some intense speaker breakup. Sounds clean otherwise. Cranked no master volume. I'm almost ready to mail the guy on his teaching gig. :D

On par with the music industry I'm sure.

I have a small Crate and the headphone out to my rig has some of that grindiness. I wish there was a pedal.

What makes this opening guitar sound? Marshall? Vox? Sounds like all big tubes. (?)

electricguitarforum as far as I can tell...

Seems like the admo is the only poster.

Reverse headstocks look clunky to me.  Do they sound/play any better?

What of Teles?

Still defying traditional loosey goosey and getting good results. Since I basically "invented" this method for myself to correct and solve all the inadequacies of the _correct_ way I was taught, it's a slow ongoing process. Blazing speed is still in the distance but that's a function of the direct drive nature of this method. What is most prominent about this wrong way approach can be labeled with one word:

DAMPING

When you keep a full grip on the sticks instead of flapping around, the inertial issues all but disappear. Basic time is nearly a function of simply hearing it. Detailed articulation akin to speech inflection becomes as natural as umm, speech.

EFFICIENCY

Ok. Two words. Physically articulating the joints from your back outward takes far less effort than slapping the sticks with your fingertips.

That's all for now.

I use this type. The brackets don't contact the guitar. No abrasion.

This reminds me of Freekish Blues ...

Freekish Blues scam

uhWell. That's just horrible.

On the other hand, the "authentic" Joyo has a demon stencil graphic. Creepy. I bought a cheepuhruh knockoff clone and am quite pleased with the toanz.
