Bringing up your opinions about joining the banned is a quick way to join the banned.

Speaking of which, I have not sensed the disturbance in the force that is @blowtorch recently...

If by "guitar world" you mean all of us guitar nerds all over the planet, tonewood is imho the most provocative. The most discussed topic is gear acquisition.

On contrary, probably the least discussed is practicing

read the real old Guitar player interview with Andres Segovia.
the comment that he made about electric guitars were deemed unprintable by the editors. View attachment 1082062

telemnemonics, so good to hear from you again , I have thought of you at different times, and wondered how you are doing . I hope that you and your wife are well keeping your noise above water and having a greet winter. I hope that this is the best year yet for you both. Duane
p.s. please don't tell anybody that I said this but after all these years it's still one day at a time , ain't that cool!

Monster Cables lol!

just to add some data to the stream ,
I bought a 10 ft. monster cable with straight plugs at least 15 years ago and it's still as good as new. I am very happy with my purchase as the cable seems indestructible

I had a famous drum teach for a while, 15 minutes a day every.

 

[Fretting out]

The griping about “it’s just wood and wire” “it’s too expensive”

Threads get me going!

Gonna eventually lead to the “why is every guitar made in china” threads……

 

[notmyusualuserid]

Tonewood. It's always tonewoods.
There's always that guy with the golden ears.

Years of experience taught me that as long as you're in tune and vaguely in time, and properly loud*. your audience don't give a toss what your guitar's made of. "Is your guitar made of gomblewood?", said no pretty girl ever.

*helps if you're able to play the bugger too

 

[gimmeatele]

Hendrix!

 

[Kandinskyesque]

Online: RELIC, then everything else.

In the real actual world, where also resides critters: CLAPTON.

obviously where I've been directly involved in the conversation, it's been with people who don't know what they're talking about.

 

[985plowboy]

Just because your CBS Fender is old doesn’t mean it’s a good guitar.

 

[Eddiebaby1]

Curly leads simply sound better. That's why Hendrix sounded like did..

Finishes that can breathe.
