TF, no that would be a Jackson or a Kramer with a neck like that lol, click the link for pic, it has the classic huge V "Bottle opener head stock. You see one of them and you You know its a dean! Yep a lot of people say its a chunk of wood to carry, but you know what? THAT'S GOOD WITH ME! It also means im not holding the guitar up with my left hand like Ihave to do with my SG. Pictures will follow as soon as it gets here. I have loved that body shape for a long time! and at 190 with shipping, its a wheel of a deal! They make on ein balck also,, but I may get the Dimebag ML version next its like a cross between a explorer and a flying V maybe this one http://www.deanguitars.com/subcategory?series=ml_series they also have a LP style guitar and one called a Cadillacl,, its a wild variation of a LP. http://www.deanguitars.com/subcategory? … lac_series
I ahve always liked Dean guitars, they are pretty RAD. check out the Thoroughbred series while on that page.
cheers
I mentioned this in a different post, I just couldn't wait. Found it on GC used, so its about 45 cheaper than new.
Just waiting for the call to pick it up. link is for a new one but all specks and color are the same.
ITS MY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME PRESENT.
I like that!
Cant wait to hear it
Thank you to EVERYONE,,,
ROGER thanks for posting
TF YOU MADE ME LAUGH, THANK YOU FOR KNOWING WHO I AM! LOL the beauty is It is STILL ACE in that picture and the late Eric Carr. very cool.
I have not touched strings fro a few nights, but I did do a night with my neighbor on Tuesday night. We did a rough attempt at my Love is the sun. Was cool though we tried it a bit different than i usually do it with him having a finger picking part. maybe ill post it to sound cloud, but its pretty rough LOL.
Z and KEEP IT, I plan on getting a loud present, but for now I bought a Mr Heater Big Buddy for my basement lol. But maybe in 2 weeks and a few details, I'll have a NGD to show off. (a body style I have wanted for a while and don't yet have, not a LP but that is next on the list )
I don't know about ukes at all, but they have some pretty cool looking ones at my favorite music store. Thought about getting one to toy with,, but then I think why not a mandolin or short scale travel guitar LOL DE I know you will get her a great selection no matter what.
IF you have a NGD pictures are a must.
post to general chat.

I couldn't agree more! If the specs & quality control are being watched, the end product should be virtually identical ... regardless of where a product is made. It's unfortunate that our global economy has highlighted the uneven playing field that workers compete on, but that's an issue for much greater minds than mine to deal with.
Normally there are only 2 issues on the major players who have the foreign lines that creep up, as I notice from personal experience. #1 Pick up quality. It is hit and miss The diff between my Squire, and the American Strat I played at the store, everything felt the same , but the pickup quality was night and day. (that's why I swap out all my low price guitar pick ups) #2 the difference between my Epi SG 400 and the Gibson it is made after, body weight. The neck is always heavy in your left hand because you have to hold it up or it drops down. A good non slip strap helps with this. The Gibson I seem to remember being better balanced and a bit heavier. But for the prices, I can live with that!
Now on the really cheap stuff, neck joints can be a problem and weak necks,, but if you know what you are buying and have read user reviews,, You can get a good playing guitar for under 2 or 300. (of course by the time I finish souping them up, I probably have added another 125 to the cost LOLOL.
Never had a Guild acoustic. But my electric was pretty great. Then I sold it
UJB,
You reminded me that I have seen Arlo also. It was at a great little hall. too bad its gone now, but he was awesome, and he had a drunk removed, it was "that" guy who kept screaming for 2 songs over and over, finally Arlo asked security to remove him "Cause I'm the captain of this ship, and you need to go" LOLOL heck he got a ovation just for kicking the guy out! LOL
Welcome back. and check out song of the month , its a new area.
OK So I like BGD's Pink Floyd suggestion,
My contributions
BETH - KISS (Saw Peter Chris sing this in 1980-Dynasty tour. Have seen them 3 times all original 4, Beth every time )
acoustic version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaI97Q5K3
Fall of the Peace Maker - Molly Hatchet /DJB Project - (Saw them with out Danny Joe during Beating the odds, Then at Shades bar in Jacksonville with Foghat opening (Lonesome Dave kicking butt also) and sorry to say the last show I saw was another bar at Jax beach, they were trying to do the acoustc thing, it was close to the end for DJB. second set he was terrible. but at end of show,Ive noted this story b4, I still walked upand shook his hand and told him I loved his music.)
So instead of DREAMS here is a great live FOTPM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsXpGV5 … 5tExY#t=43 (its a great version with every guy taking a lead slot in the song!)
Lonely is the Night - Billy Squire - At 12 I got to see him on his Don't Say No tour. That guy can rock a basic stage and worked his caboose off. My #1 favorite Billy Squire song - live - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM6tm2MB9VQ album - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_J28Xqub6rI and the how to by PaPa Stache - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXqhtHq3Ozs
nice one.almost a limerick.
I would start with replacing the ground wire to the springs then replace the ground from the volume pot to the jack input and all the grounds from pot to pot but if it was me I would just invest in a Emerson pre wired setup with paper and oil capacitors I have one in my Strat quiet as a church mouse AND the tone controls really work nice.
https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail … oCNqzw_wcBThis is your sound were talking about get the best.and the ground and lead wires to the jack are included (rubber coated no soddering)
WEll I guess its down to the ground wire check. Russ these are all GFS pups. the two singles are just the same as I have in Bettie,(Brighton rocks) and the bridge is a "Little killer" humbucker http://www.guitarfetish.com/KP--Lil-Kil … 21984.html
As soon as I put my finger on the plate housing and become the ground, its fine.
time to open it up i guess. I have spent more on this guitar than it is really worth, but I had the pick ups handy and thought it ould be a cool treat for my son. now its just not playable!!!!
You know, I have to tell this story. Back when OZZY first went solo and was on the Blizzard tour, he came to my town. All I knew was Crazy Train and Iron man, but I wanted to go very bad. I was 12. My parents had bought into the whole Press hoopla and were afraid for me to go, However they did let me see KISS later that year (an many more that came to town). So Scott then turns his allowance money from Kiss and THE WHO records to OZZY. My first one was actually Diary of a Madman, It was not until I was 16 that I was able to road trip to Charlotte NC (from Asheville NC) and see him in 85 on the Ultimate Sin tour. Why do I miss that 1980 show so bad? I would have gotten to see Randy Rhodes in his prime and right before he died. In a turn of events, When I did see Ozzy in 85, I got to see Cliff Burton (amazing bass player for Metallica). He later died on the European leg of that tour.
Just wanted to share that story.
What would I do. Lol
You would just buy it and post it for a NGD! lolol or gift it to your lovely daughter.
1. When you test at home are you running straight into the amp with no effects in line? (Electro-harmonix fx are particularly noisy in my experience)
2a. What happens when you plug the guitar into a different amp, plugged into the same outlet?
2b. What happens when you plug the guitar into the same amp, different outlet (or different location?)
3. Did the guitar tech use the same guitar same cable same amp, or just same guitar?Basically I would go about eliminating for any other explanation than the guitar before I spend any more money on the guitar. Assuming you've done all of the above, take both the amp and guitar (and the same cable) to the guitar shop and plug it in. See what happens there.
WEll here is what I have done.
As far as a different outlet, no good the whole friggin basement is on the same run! (cheap late 80s house construction) Tempted to go next door and check. probably should. or go up to kitchen circuit , That should put it all on the guitar.
AXL guitar with same cable into Johnson amp direct, it happens, Use either of my other guitars with same chord into Johnson, its fine.
AXL into my rig with effects, happens worse,
Axl into my rig direct, same as with the Johnson
If the problem were at the outlet, wouldn't ALL my guitars sound like poop? They dont The SG and Bettie (the Squire strat) sound just fine! its really ticking me off.
GOD thats easy for the past, The 50s the 60s the 70s (i covered the 80s pretty good) but still on the bucket list Tom Petty, Pink, IRON MAIDEN!!!! Missed them all these years. Halestorm, In this moment, Foo Fighters, FFDP, an many more!
I play the buy first and take the heat later LOL (or its always good to say I bought it to share with the boys! That works!)
MOJO!
Hey I have told my daughter to look for you, so next time your feeling like oriental food, hit ASIAN CITY (usually dinner shifts but some lunches and dinners on the weekend) and ask for Bethany Sailer (hopefully she wont be hosting that night LOL
left comments on SC. Nice work!

I noodled with it some but failed to get it to a place I was happy with. Hopefully once work settles down in mid march I'll be able to take another crack.
Sweet thanks
Ok, I have talked about the mods I did to my sons AXL Strat a few months ago. Well it tested good at the shop. We just found out recently that when we plug it in at home, it has a loud humm. not so bad in first position for the bucker, but as it goes up the selector it gets really bad. and I know strats and singles have hums,, but not like this! Yet taking it back to the shop, it did not do it again. I had them replace the jack and look for loose grounds. Check, get it home and same thing! I know its a ground issue because if you touch the jack plate, it grounds and goes away! It is all in the guitar because I plug it in same cord and amp my guitars are in with no problem.
Any suggestions for a secondary ground? or should I take it to a different shop? This same guy worked and modded Bettie with no problems, and fixed my sons acoustic also. I need to make a quick vid of what is going on for him I guess. I hate going somewhere else, but I may have too.
Thanks guys.
I replace pickups but not post, I am thinking it may be time for some in my SG. and a new toggle.
25 of 30
alsodid the 70s,, 22 of 30,, some of them I would have known if I could hear them.
Left ya a comment on YT. I was waiting for your solo, Or did I miss it while scanning through it?
