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

[TJontheRoad]

This is the third LP I've owned and easily the best. The two prior LPs, a Tribute and a Classic, didn't nearly have the same mojo and they've been sold off. This has it in spades. I suspect it be very hard for it to be unseated by another LP. I'm not even looking to try.

Today, new strings and a setup. Rock on

I'm sure it's great and all, but holy shit that fretboard is dry. Give it a good proper conditioning stat!

Lemon seed oil?

My understanding is highly acidic/citrus based oils are ok for cleaning and removing
grime, but awful for conditioning and moisturizing wood.

Maybe @Eagle can chime in.

Dilute linseed oil is probably best but sparingly. Lemon oil sold for fingerboards is ok because the acidic element is very small.

Selected the middle pickup position (both pickups) of a Gibson Theodore and played some blues

Snipped the tone pot in the new Strandberg. Brightened things up a hair.

Yeah, I hardly ever use oil. When I do it's tad bit of mineral oil, and then wipe off really well. Helps clean too.

That's where the term guitar "licks" comes from.

Fit a fender delta tone. It’s really just a start detente cts pot with bypass in the detente. Best of both.

It's something I stole/borrowed from Donald Kinsey---who was playing
a gig and requested some Fried Chicken in between sets, and then told
us how it allowed him to play better/smoother/faster.... and that it helped
protect his strings and guitar.

Couple of us thought he was joking. He wasn't.

RIP Donald. What a legend!

On a side note, look at pictures of Zep shows from the 77 tour where Page was pretty wasted most of the time.

Every time a spot catches his guitars it looks like they've gone case to stage and back w zero care in between for the whole tour.
Literally disgusting.
