    Is Sustain Overrated?

    Right...but I don't think you're saying that all guitars are equally capable of that are you? Nor are all amps. Some guitars and amps are better than others. I do agree that obsessing over certain details is not going to be all that productive. But ultimately the point is that the...

    “79 Michael Stevens “61 Junior Conversion

    Beauties! Works of art, indeed. So the Junior started life in 1961 as a Les Paul Junior? What condition was it in when Stevens worked his magic?

    New Thorn Model. Korina/Tom Holmes Content.

    Took my one-off T-caster to my last couple gigs. It's 20 years old this summer and I've loved it since day 1!

    Picks

    I use a hybrid kind of picking...part pick, part fingers. I've been using the same picks since back in the 70s. I think I'll stick with them and don't really care what anyone else does.

    Let's see pics of you gigging with your Lester!

    R.I.P Brian Wilson

    I told my wife that I wasn't buying any more guitars and she laughed and laughed...

    Sometimes adversity = great performance

    We had what turned out to be a great gig the other night. But started with some really awful news. One of the band members found out that a close and very dear relative had just been diagnosed with a deadly disease. He showed up at the gig anyhow; walked in and apologized in advance telling us...

    RIP Rick Derringer

    Yeah...terrible news. A real loss to the world of rock guitar. He was one of the early masters, IMO.
