What Guitar Are You Playing At This Very Moment...

Hahaha I got a scratchy pot in it, sometimes I need to turn the volume knob a few times to get them full signal out, but I don’t want to fuck with it in case it’s lending itself somehow to the sound of the guitar!

I know it’s a stupid thought and I’m going to change it all eventually, but man, if something changes the sound of that guitar I’ll be massively bummed out. I’m pretty certain it’s just the right wood/setup/pickup choice for what I want to do with it, but there’s still a teeny amount of superstition in there.

I totally get that.

I have heard tales fraught with woe and misery where some chap wanted to improve a great guitar,
changed something, then went back to how it was originally, but the apple cart was already upset and
it was never the same.

Or we all just weird as F!

This all 100 hundo and triggers me

Shit I accidentally swapped merely string gauge on my ce24 a few months back and it was awful and I was terrified I would never recapture the magic of that guitar even after switching back

Fortunately crisis mode was averted going back to 10s lol

You should be banned for that horrid angle you have that poor guitar forced to hold.

Not sure I can ever look at your the same way now, SOTS.

Don't blame the poor Feline either.

I have had guitars knocked over by band members catching cables with their feet, or
just bumping into a cab or stand the guitar was resting on. I hgave watched more than
one Axe go face first and not be able to stop it---even as it happened in slow motion.

I am such a stalwart for the sanctity of axes that I see I need to start yet another chapter for
"The People For The Ethical Treatment Of Guitars."

Haha! I am not important enough to make anyone cry.


Your poor guitar, on the other hand.


You don't like it, do you??

I’m just trying to give PRS a more edgy punk rock carefree vibe vs “Guitar D.DS. Attorney at law”

Years ago I had Derek Trucks Sig SG that I loved, and it took a dinger when the singer
in our band got overexuberant messing around on a break and yanked it straight off
its stand and onto the garage floor. I saw it happen and couldn't stop it. It was brutal,
and when he is an ass to anyone in the band I remind him of that moment.

Miraculously the guitar was fine, except for one dinger on the edge of the headstock.

I had to end up selling the guitar, because it was never the same in my eyes.

I have seen so many guitars over the years take tumbles that I am OCD about how
they are handled. Even if they are not my guitars.

Make sure not to leave them out in the cold overnight, or in a hot locked car during the
day, too.

I think Dave should call himself Harley ! That would be good “ Harley Benton”. Seriously why ten guitar shaped objects instead of one great actual instrument???

The Firebird is out for a play today.

Headless.

Yep, I did notice

The whole Headless fad/fascination is totally lost on me.

Play some. I’ve owned at least one since Steinberger came along with a guitar.

The whole Headless fad/fascination is totally lost on me.

The only one I'd care to own would be the Kiesel Holdsworth. I've toyed with the idea of making one from an old, cheap Yamaha guitar I have in pieces.
