Back to guitars... I'm thinking of replacing my black tele's pickguard from white to black. The tuxedo look is cool but I want to change it up. I need a black on black guitar anyways. 
I've already removed it and disconnected some wiring too. I'm going to stick a full size strat single in there. It will be a black, Dimarzio Virtual vintage '54 pro and put an Area T hot in the bridge. I have both pickups already. Only mod I need to do is rout the hole bigger for the neck single, but that's no biggie. I'll also take the opportunity to refret the neck. It's a 7.25 radius and has the original vintage frets that surprisingly play ok but they are very worn so it's time to change. I'll be putting EVO jumbos in. Keeping the brass nut, although will have to shim it.

Honestly if it was bees I’d have called to have them professionally taken and removed. Zero issues with actual bees. Yellow jackets though? They’re mean fuckers who are spiteful just to be spiteful. Even if I hadn’t disturbed their home they’d be assholes.No idea why and how we are losing all the vast wealth of our best Pollinators.

I’m so jealous of your ability to play those repeating licks @ 40 seconds in
Nice !!!

Thanks man, thats how I practice them…. Its getting better…. Start was struggle for sure.I’m so jealous of your ability to play those repeating licks @ 40 seconds in

Keep at it and you will make progress.
Next step for me is to shove sweeps on that backing track.
Thanks for listening.

Great work man! I’ve been doing similar things with some Hammett licks. Similar thing with the repeating patterns. Four Horsemen has some fun ones in its solos so I zeroed in on those.
Been trying to learn a couple Ratt/DeMartini solos and licks. Lay it Down and Nobody Rides for Free. Also been kind of noodling Mr Scary? Like getting the riffs and grooves down. A couple of the lead fills too. I’m nowhere near a George Lynch but it’s fun to attempt some of these things in small steps.

And I picked up today and everything I tried playing sounded like ass. Just in a funk or something? I don’t know. I’ll try again a little later and if it still sucks I’ll give it a day or two off.

Dialed in some more stuff on my Boss GT1000 Core that I just got. Apparently, the dividers/mixers, even if you aren't using them, affect the volume/sound. Not particularly fond of that, but it is good to know. The various volumes are a bit excessive (send/return for the loops, which I use for my Syn-2 preamps, the system level on the face of the device, the patch level, direct levels on every effect, etc). Some of this was present on the MS-3. The stuff that wasn't just requires experimentation and going with what sounds best.
What I really like is that you can save effects as stompboxes. That's pretty useful if you plan to use certain effects settings, or close to it, such as using the dual delay on a bunch of patches, but just change the time of the delays. Definitely enjoying the latency, as it is pretty unnoticeable.
