Re: El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...

Are those proportions wrong, or are you getting a mandolin? Fuck that, get two. https://i.ibb.co/w7tsn3s/IMG-0241.jpg I’ve been on a kick since picking up the cheapo Loar on the left. The slightly less cheapo Eastman on the right I can’t put down. Changed the strings on a uke to GDAE so I can take ...

Re: El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...

I just saw something on TV while channel surfing. A country artist was singing while playing an acoustic with a capo. He had a tight band. Near the end of his song, it modulated up a half step. While the band played the first note of the modulation, the guy moved his capo up a fret, then fell back ...

Never mind the bollocks above. The JM middle position is a thing of beauty. Nothing at all like a quacky Strat 2 or 4 position. Everybody rips out the rhythm circuit (or jams it with an eraser).

My question: Has anybody had experiences with or know of a brand of good replacement pickups that give a vintage-y medium to low output signal? That's another problem, I'm pretty sure this is a high output pickup, which I've never liked. I don't like having built in gain and fuzz. I like to dirty i...

Honestly, unless you can hold a guitar before buying it, there are no guarantees of quality. I've played fifties Fenders and Gibsons that sucked ass. A name is just lettering. No doubt. All I'm saying is when buying online it becomes more of a gamble and anybody with common sense is either going to...

The only Japanese guitar I’ve ever owned was (is) a Fender Japan Jazzmaster from the early aughts, before FMIC started to reissue the offsets in the States. Fit and finish were shit, and I ended up spending more on the (then brand new) Mastery Bridge than on the guitar itself, just to render it play...

Did he sign the pickguard? Maybe get a thin, clear pickguard made, and screw it down over the original! If it's just the pickguard I would look into the same type material used for cell phone screen shields. You could probably get a big sheet of it and cut it to fit. Good call x 2. Beats fucking wi...
