    Paul Reed Smith

    I've been to the PRS factory. Gibson could learn a lot from the overall quality culture and QC that Paul has in place. Even if you don't like PRS guitars, their overall commitment to quality and improvements is very impressive.

    Keeping the peace

    I remember when Eminence made a couple speakers that had a built in attenuator knob on the magnet, but they never went over very well.

    Uncle Larry & The Gristlemeister

    I saw Greg play in a tiny bar in Wisconsin 25 years ago, long before he was an internet sensation. He was insanely great back then too. I believe he was working for Fender at the time doing clinics.

    A rumble with a Dumble

    I bought the chassis years ago, and that was on it.

    Tornado Watch!

    I was driving home from Minneapolis on Monday, and got a tornado warning on my phone, and said to take cover immediately. I was miles from any town, out in the cornfields. It was raining so hard II could barely see where I was going. Fortunately, the tornado was around 15 miles south of where I was.

    Taller frets. Better quality Kluson style tuners (Gotoh 510?).

    Paul Reed Smith's Strat shootout goes off the rails

    I really didn't like the neck on the NF3, if it had the Silver Sky neck, I would have liked it more. Jimmy Herring gets some killer sounds from his old NF3. Dealers practically had to give the 1st USA versions away because nobody wanted them. Weird that they reissued it.
