What Did You Do With Your Guitar(s) Today?

[Zodiac]

American Special HSS.
Cleaned, new strings, set up.

I know some people think these are totally unnecessary but, honestly, they make string change trivial. Even easier than string-thru.

I wasn't expecting it to make the Bigsby far more responsive, however. Possibly because of the less severe angle through it.

It’s actually because it makes the strings move more for the same movement of the bar or should I say Kamikaze tuning lever.

Messing around with the intro to Pink Floyd's Sorrow. Something about that riff.

 

[Spaced Out Ace]

Dialed in an 80s style clean JC-120 patch on my GT-1000 Core. JC-120 -> X-Comp -> Dual Chorus -> Plate Reverb. After the chorus, I have an SDE-3000 delay than I can turn on, as well as a rotary speaker, vibrato, and tremelo before the amp. I may need to adjust it further when I put it on my other GT-1000 Core, which is the one I plan to use it on. It'll go into a cab with different speakers, plus the Fryette Power Station PS-2A has different tubes.

Today is the 7th day I have not touched a guitar. I’ve had fire alarm inspections this week, waking up at 3:45AM then working 12 hour days. Just enough time to pass where the little bit of motor function/speed I gained from a straight week of hammering out that “Metropolis” section to be lost where I’ll have to spend another week getting back into shape!

FINALLY bit the bullet and ordered some nut files to fix a couple guitars. My PRS CE-24 has a dead string at the nut and my Epiphone 335 has tuning issues with the Vibrola.

The work gauntlet is the not fun kind of exhausting. I hope it ends for you soon and you get some relief.

New guy starts on Monday! Quickest amount of time we’ve had someone respond to an ad and he’s got 20 years in this exact business, so fingers are certainly crossed! While it WAS beneficial to fire you-know-who and made my life easier, once we got busier I started getting walloped.

I was looking forward to doing something fun tonight, but as I’m getting ready to go home for the day I think the only fun will be had at the dog park and then my couch!

IT WORKED! The stupid sitar sound is fixed on my PRS! I touched up all the strings so everything should be all nice now. Next up, the 335 with the Vibrola...

 

[Jarick]

Epiphone is better! I will say this Joe Bonamassa one has a bone nut and it was cut really well at the proper angle unlike the PRS nut...there's still some rattling at the bridge and one of the strings is a bit low but I can work with this.

Also wow the strings tune up so smoothly now. I'm going to touch up all the guitars over the weekend.

 

[Eagle]

The vibrola causes a whole lot of issues. It’s not just about the nut ,mostly the tunamatic . Unless it rocks or has rollers it’s unlikely to work for anything other than minor vibrato.

Nice! That sounds like some potential relief.

So hard finding competent help/employees in ANY field it seems. I hope he works
out---and becomes a trusted and reliable ally at work.

That's a no fun job. At least you don't need to do it very often.

Jammed with some friends today. First time in years. We’re gonna try to do a Green Day tribute band. I got the Jason White parts. Shits fun to play, as simple as it is.
