I hope someone grabbed that smoke before the convention center burned down... Tonedef

Thanks dude, I'll send you one soon as I have time to take a good shot. Tonedef

Four string with Gotoh bridge. Beautiful emerald green. All original, except someone cut away a small portion of the pick guard to make a better thumb rest out of the neck PU. In very good to excellent condition, no issues, professionally set up with new 105 D'Addario's. No buckle rash, no...

You make some good points. But, Navarro is actually pretty well spoken, and it is usually interesting to listen to what he has to say. Burke would just continue to look goofy if she changed outfits--someone needs to teach her how to dress (other than Navarro--I think they swap clothes...

I have used and/or received guitars from all of the aforementioned shippers (and even DHL) and have not had anything broken yet. I consider myself to be very lucky in this regard. I did get a good tip from a Fed-Ex person I always do biz with. We all know "fragile" is ignored, but the loading...

My guitarist has played twice thru a Carvin Vintage 16, once at a small club and once outdoors at a medium sized party, no PA boost either time. He dimed it, but the amp sounded great. It can be done. Tonedef

So was I, until I found out tickets at the closest stop to me are $90.00 each! That is ridiculous. Tonedef

This is how I freed a balky T-rod nut, and so far no problems. I used penetrating oil around the nut, and let it sit over nite. Next day I was able to move the nut enough to get the neck straight enough. It still wasn't happy about moving, but it moved. Another thing that might help is...

Off topic a little, but I have always had really good luck with Fed-Ex. Maybe they don't throw things around as much as UPS... Tonedef

I never have been a big Moore fan, but I am a huge PA Green fan. If anyone has not heard this guitar on "The Supernatural" or "Black Magic Woman" (no, Santana didn't do the original version), you should definitely check these tunes out. Heck, most of Green's stuff with Mayall and F-Mac was...

An update; since it was St. Paddy's Day and all I broke out the emerald green Cruise for our gig last nite. The P/U height adjustment certainly did the trick, it sounded much more dynamic. I had to back off the amp's master V from where I usually set it, as the Cruiser was so much more lively...

I usually back the bridge off a smidge as well. Or sometimes I'll back the neck off a little, both settings give interesting tones. I thought I had the P/U's where I wanted them, but at your suggestions I raised them a little--sounds much better, thanks! Tonedef

Very good suggestions, I will take another look at the P/U height. The acoustics in this particular bar are horrible, that may have a lot to do with it. We were on a raised wooden stage, as well. Lonote--what gauge are the flats you are using? I've been wanting to try some on this, so I...
