I took a couple days off from playing (cuz video games) but got back on this today. I have the riffs under my fingers enough where it was time to start practicing while ‘singing’ it. This one is definitely tricky to figure out where the vocals jump in, in context of what the guitar is doing. There’s a couple spots I still have to figure out, but overall it’s just a matter of doing this 1,000 more times until it’s tight.

Right. Now plug him into a V-Amp and watch him wince and cry!!We've got a friend from Seattle staying with us for a few days. He'd never played through a valve amp before today. The look on his face when he hit an A chord on my prs into my JVM was priceless, it was properly loud. He's 45, primarily plays acoustic and when he does play an electric it's been into cheap solid state practice amps and lower end modellers, usually into headphones.
Today we just fucked about with different guitars at various gain levels. Tomorrow we start onto pedals.

I've been dragging my feet on this project but getting close to the finish line. Worked on assembly and getting pickups wired today. Still need to set up the Floyd and D-tuna and add the string tree bar on the neck. Went ahead and relic'd the neck and fingerboard to match the body better. I ended up putting a small kill switch were the tone knob would be. I like it. I would have gone with a arcade style one but didn't want to make the hole too big in case I want to go back to a tone control. Can't wait to try the scalloped neck, it feels super comfortable already. The boatneck with scallop is so perfect.As promised, I'm posting a wip photo.
Goal is to make it look used and not taken care of.It's getting there. Still not finished as I'm letting stuff dry so I can move onto further steps.

S and 85X.
Never tried the 85X. I like the 85 though so this should be good as well. Always loved the S over the SA, it's very clear and punchy, slightly scooped.

Busy learning charts for a Christmas bass gig this weekend.
Lots of old standards, lots of jazz, a couple crazy uptempo swing pieces that are kicking my ass right now! Fun times

Finished up some guitar mods for my nephew today. This was a Godin I gave him a few years back, something I'd bought at a pawn shop for a decent price. He's wanting to learn guitar more and he likes this guitar, but the original pickguard color was just white with cream pickups so it looked kind of boring. He wanted something unique so I glued vintage paper from a very old book that had fallen apart. I rubbed a bit of dark wax into to age some more and then sealed with poly.
I also changed the pickups to some Fender noiseless I wasn't using anymore, and a Kent Armstrong vintage style HB. I threw in a kill switch just for fun too. I think it turned out kind of cool? Plays and sounds nice although the neck is thinner than I'd use.
