Looking for a worse name that's actually been given to a line of products. I'm drawing a blank, but I'm sure they're out there. Anyone? I do get that it's the name of a city, but c'mon. If you were building your guitars in Mudd Butt, South Dakota you don't need to name them Mudd Butt...

It's a sea monstah!

Makes a very big difference if you are talking the cheap non-name strings vs the better brands. I didn't think it mattered until I tried them.

I had this trial on in the background while working from home today, and as he started describing her behavior, it struck such a nerve with me. It's just so similar to the relationship I'm in, the things I've been through... and the ways he tried to cope with it are exactly some of the things...

When you take it to the extreme and route out everything under the guard as deep as you can, you can definitely hear a difference acoustically. I did that as an experiment to lighten up a strat project and ended up liking the change in sound. But I doubt you'd be able to hear a difference just...

This isn't a bad idea. Who on this forum has connections?

So, hot water and heat gun probably won't work? any suggestions on what would take it off?

Thanks for the advice so far. Looks like there's no shortcut here... I'm going to try to get the old glue off... can anyone confirm what type of glue it is with these closeups?

I have an old Sohmer upright that I acquired a few years ago. It's a good piano, this era of Sohmer we're making the best uprights, supposedly, and this one has a nice sound to it. However, while it was being moved to do some cleaning today, the leg broke off. I had noticed a hairline crack...

Maple-bodied 1986 G&L ASAT Special. 6.5 lbs and rings like a bell.

I thought they didn't really mod guitars back then?

good friend, that's a pricey ticket

It's the D'addario clip-on. Fits in that spot on most guitars.
