Re-string Saturday: Gold


I think many gear dweebs like me, would take the weekend opportunity to check on our instruments. Gave my Gibson LP Tribute a re-string this morning. This is perhaps one of my preferred Gibson due to its satin finish. If you've been reading the stuff here, I prefer non-gloss necks because I sweat easily & a sticky experience isn't something that makes a pleasant guitar day. When the Tribute model hit the stores, I waited for the humbucking version to be available & there's no turning back.


This happened because I'm old & I always grabbed the wrong knob- always. So a simple solution is seen here; volume knobs are differentiated from the tone knobs. To many LP purists it's desecrating the looks but I embrace practicality more than the preservation of originality. 


Another LP desecration- Seymour Duncans. I simply can't stand the rounded treble tone of Gibson pickups so this had to happen. I also believe the SH-6/ SH-2 are tried & tested pickups when it comes to good driven tones with clarity.

Hell to snobs


Came across this article recently. Why should one be revered for one's revolting attitude, glorifying laziness? It came from a pro musician & that says a lot about how impaired you are when it comes to being grateful for your haves- wait till you dive into the have nots.

Rocklin a Kiesel


Do you know this guy? He's now on the Kiesel roster.


He was deemed a guitar prodigy for showing acute proficiency at age 11.


He was once an Ibanez poster boy & had backing from a certain Steve Vai. How times have changed. I used to read lots about him in guitar magazines. I saw him as a brat because during one of his interviews, he was glorified for dropping his Ibanez JEM, headstock first, to the ground & feeling good about it. Whatever.

Mid-year enticements


Happening at Sound Alchemy now. A good time to consider Japanese guitars- we know how prices are these days so here's a chance to maybe do something 'right'.
