My experience is: take a guitar, sit on an amp, just like you sit on a horse, DO NOT CHANGE THE KNOBS OF THE AMP, try a bunch of guitars, and you will feel the sound through your body, and the one who gives you the best results AUDITIVE and SENSITIVE, that should be the one, also, how iso the guitar in your hands, and is the way to play easy

I would suggest 2 kinds of T-SHIRTS
- with short sleeves
- without sleeves.

On the front a guitar, on the back some music notes, or on the front the guitar and on the back a guitar, with of course CHORDIE, or/and I"m PROUD TO BE A CHORDIAN.
Colours, black, and white.
But I'm proud to be a chordian sounds nice, you cabn even add, in smaller letters the name of the website.
Distribution: I think you need an EUROPEAN point besides the USA point.
If you have them, I'll buy of course (I prefer without sleeves)
Why a point here in Europe, easier to pay through the bank, is complicated when talking about wire transfers to the US.
Reasonable price, more or less cheap, but of course, I would like, and I made already a suggestion, to come together once.
If you find a sponsor, like Gibson, Fender or Music Stores: SAY YES.

Well Detman and also our friend ssttsstt, all those stories are a FAR FROM MY BED show, until it happens to you.
Some partners (I prefer to use this word) are like that, it is their character, and even worse, the more you tell the truth, like a concert that ended 30 minutes to late, the more they don't believe you. I dare to call me a kind of expert, because it used to be my job as medical doctor (now non-active due to severe medical reasons), and in my job, I was known more as a kind of "shrink", because on 100 cases, I traeted 95, and maybe 5 went to a psychiatric doc.
What I want to tell is that I've been on both sides of similar problems. The subject of this topic is very delicate, especially being a kind of therapist myself, and I refuse to make conclusions, if I don't know the situation. I can just write about mine. I hate it to tell, but because of my position, and a kind of Rock&Roll attitude I was very popular for a lot of women. This can be already a cause. Who doesn't like female attention?? But forget this, and see what your partner likes or wants. Probably attention, communication, and some partners use high standards, often influenced by their friends, relatives, and a common thing is jealousy.
Detman, why is she jealous of you, playing guitar: do you play at home? I know that a lot of people want to be CENTRAL in a relation. If you play at home, and you stay playing at home, she's maybe jealous just because you pay more attention on your guitar, or she is convinced that your guitar is numero uno, and she feels herself pushed away in the second position.
Always start with one important fact: YOU CAN NOT CHANGE ANOTHER PERSON, YOU CAN ONLY CHANGE YOURSELF. I really want to talk about it with you, and I WILL ALWAYS TRY TO BE NEUTRAL, I do hope to receive an email, and I will try to help you as good as I can (knowing my profession!!). Upyerkilt is right, and at least try to convince her that she will always be the NUMBER ONE, but she has no right to take your guitar away. In the pre-PC world, and still now, how many man are member of the board of a baseball, or football team, or are responsable for church, school? I have done a lot things wrong, being too busy with my work and neglecting my family. The more you run away using your job as the perfect alibi, the worse it gets, and on a certain moment there will be a COMMUNICATION breakdown. Try to communicate as much as you can, and not discussing as much as you can. I don't know how long you are together, try to change your attitude or try at least to show her that she comes in the first place. I am even convinced that it is not the guitar who causes this problem, so try and try and try.
And ssttsstt: are you sure about this? If there is one thing I hate, well people who tell you if seen your wife.... I have a beautiful daughter who has a super boyfriend. If I should see that guy with some other girl, I don't think I would tell it, because someone ruined a relation I had because of similar problem. It looks cruel, but I think I never told someone to stop a relation, or other things. You can see my email, and you are welcome to mail me.
I hope I could help, even if it's only for 5%

Well dear friend RoxusMaximus, where do you live now?
You are welcome at my place, in the mean time I just purchased a hopefully, splendid device, to TRY if I am able to hear my songs: BOSS BR 600.
Concerning the CYBERTWIN, well I am glad you have one too. I am sure it has to be possible, but I am afraid you will need an adaptor.
I'll try to figure it out.
I send you a mail in a few moments.

As far as I understand, you own a telecaster. But concerning the pickups I have the impression that you want to add an extra pickup, between the two pickups a tele has?
This means that they, a luthier or the music store co-workers, have to make an extra hole in the guitar body to put an extra pickup, am I right? I am not a luthier, so you will get probably 2 answers: YES or NO.
It's worth asking. BOOTLEGER here, knows a lot about suvh things.
I think that it is possible, but the price you will pay for this transformation, can be high.

Try to play guitar, not touching your strings, while another guitarist is playing behind the scene.

Well, now that I know nationalities, kije BOXER is from Wales and KILT is from scotland as is alvee, the logical question is: can all of you still speak the original language?
Upyer: is the difference between the Scottish and the Irish very clear? Meaning that if you speak, (isn't it Celtic), or read your ORIGINAL language, you can also read and understand Irish?

I think a lot of countries, today, in the America's, developed their own language. There is a difference in writing and pronouncing words, like flavor/flavour, you will find the same development in the Spanish language spoken in South America versus original Spanish.
1 thing, not knowing if I'm right or wrong, the US accent ressembles to the Irish/English.
I live in Belgium, the "netherland's" speaking part, and it is amazing how fast the changes between Dutch (Flemish) and Dutch (Holland) are. I speak about only 30 years. South African "dutch", I can read and speak it, is influenced by African, English words. Probably the same thing caused the US American-English.

Your topic is so tricky. One of the most important things giving a gig like Clapton will give, are the stack of amps and speakers, who are able to blow the audience away, and the squier, in this case disguised as a black fender, can and will be more dominated by the wall of sound, add the gig-adrenaline, and it can be possible that it will give him, being a real skilled and experienced performer, that there is something wrong, but I think on a certain moment, he will notice that there is something different, BUT will the audience do?

DID you hear the solo by GILMOUR followed by the COLDPLAY solo?
It is a very short solo, but it is in my ears sounding 100% similar.
Amazing what you can find if you start listejning very carefully. It always starts with a question like, where did I hear that little solo?
I am convinced that even PF are not aware about this. Maybe we can contact them, hoping that it becomes a juridical case, and ask them about 25% because we helped them?

Ah dear boot, I was convinced you've been disappeared to Alaska.
That "preconstructed" bodies and "necks" , what is the type of body-wood you use, same for the neck.
I wrote about that guy in Scotland, but to make your own guitar out of a stash of wood, will take longer than a week. You have a guitar body, a PRS like, what is your way of treating the body?
To put a layer around: nitrocellulose? and it will take 2 days before it is dry?.
Repairs do they include changing humbuckers?
If I want: is it possible to follow a kind of "course" to learn, or you do this behind close doors?
