Mine would be Keef, maybe Garcia, maybe Gilmour, nah definitely Keef. How ‘bout you?

I went through some stuff at my mom’s house. She’s getting ready to move and downsize from the ancestral homestead, bad time or no. Anyway, I haven’t seen these for decades. I remember being VERY competitive about them, though, once upon a time.

I must have packed this up at least 10, probably 15, years ago. I forgot they were with me at all. Dug them out of a bin in the garage yesterday, where they have been sitting for at least 4 years. They’re almost certainly worthless. I don’t even remember what any of them sounded like back in...

Maybe, not ready to give up on it yet. The problem is that no matter what I do, no matter the order, the envelope opens late even if I’m hitting it hard. Am I wrong to expect a little more granularity in attack? One thing I haven’t done is mess with the internal gain control, so I’m willing to...

So about three months ago I got a new 2020 Epiphone Les Paul Standard 60s. I’m loving it. I had it set up by Sweetwater for 9s. I don’t know why, really, I’ve always played 10s on Fenders. I guess I wanted to see something different. It has some very minor buzz here and there, but totally...

OK so it actually arrived a couple days ago, but I wanted some time with it before reporting here. Some context, this is my first non-Fender guitar and now it’s clear I’ve wasted my life. Ha, not really, but I’ve got to say, this is a really, really nice instrument. The finish is thick, but...

Seriously thinking about pulling trigger on one this week. It would be my first Les Paul of any kind, and also my first ever online instrument buy. Want to finish up on my Holy Trinity, but can’t afford a Gibson to go with my US Fenders. I’d be running it through a 08 DRRI... How are the...

Dear Abby: I think my wife is cheating on me. I am a working musician and, as you might expect, I travel a lot. I have noticed strange things lately when I’m home. Her cell phone rings and she steps outside to answer it. Or she says, "I'll call you back later." When I ask her who called, her...

I know this is a minor thing. And it doesn’t bug me or affect the guitar at all. But I’ve been wondering about it for nigh on 18 years. Not long after I got my 2001 American Series Tele - less than a year certainly - I began noticing a progressive lightening of its fret markers, more pronounced...

Been lurking for years and finally decided to join up. Looking forward to getting to know the place and its denizens. After many years I’m still unable to decide whether I’m a guitar player or a bass player. I’ve played both in working bands, and have learned to embrace that duality. But a...
