Is there much padding on those or is it just a slightly wider bit that the thin strap slides through?
-
Yeah, went down that road for a while. But now I have I don’t know, 20 straps. 🤣

When I had an LP (over 10 lbs), I bought a wide strap that’s thick. It was great for that. I think I still have it. How do we end up with so many guitar straps?

Levys has some padded easy adjustment straps that are padded and garment leather. https://a.co/d/6vIh6fr

I’ve read some people suggest if you’re having real big problems to do a couple of gates, but each one just on a little bit in different places in your signal chain. Never needed to do that or try that so don’t know if it works or not. back in the day, I would use the Ebtech hum eliminator and it seemed to work pretty good but that was more for line level PA stuff

RIP Ace Frehley. Because he deserves his own TDC.

Literally just watched this and came to post about it. -
John Suhr once commented when he was on ToneTalk that he frets at the third fret and there should be just a tiny hint of clearance at the first, like paper to business card clearance.

I've never asked for anything special, but when I've written DiMarzio asking about stuff, they've been quick and good with info. The interactions gave me the impression that they would make something if you asked and just charge you for it, but I don't know. Maybe they feel they have so many pickups, no need for a custom shop?

Dave Mustaine ruins "Ride the Lightning."
scottcald replied to Saul Goodman's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
Jeez, Dave has aged worse than Keith Richards. And I'm of the don't care for his voice crowd. He's like the thrash Billy Corgan to me. They both write cool stuff though. I thought Ride the Lightning was Metallica's best production - big, beefy guitars, and everything sits just right in the mix. -
NEW Jackson Pro Origins 1985 San Dimas

A friend had 2 Soloists in the 80s. One kind of a purplish color and another that had a graphic. Both played like melted butter. -
Sorry to hear about Ace. His impact on rock is pretty epic. He didn’t seem to pretend he was anything he wasn’t. RIP SpaceMan.

brass nut, any special treatment/maintenance?
scottcald replied to Jimbilly's question in Ask the HFC Experts
And improves the taste. My Peavey T-60 came with an aluminum nut. I've never had any issues with it. -

Nice! Same finish as the one in my avatar! You could just get a Floyd installed. 🤣 -
Badland Guitars- Anyone tried one?
scottcald replied to diablo175's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
No, not this Tone King: This one: Dude makes way too much money as evidenced by the background there. PS - Don't get any tone tips from him. -
Nuno Bettencourt launches Nuno guitars
scottcald replied to Saul Goodman's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
This of course after saying he was staying with Washburn after having the new one at the final Sabbath fest. Has he sold that many to support a whole company? -
Badland Guitars- Anyone tried one?
scottcald replied to diablo175's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
It's that Tone King douche behind them. He tries to pretend it's a "factory" of Badlands, but it's Brubaker from what I've gathered and what I think that guy's one video showed, because it seems to be the area they're in. I used to drive through there a bunch. Just call Brubaker directly, IMO. -
Here's one that you don't see every day…

To me, the Kahler was always like anything else, it just needed set up properly. I used one for many years without issue. The Tipton model is great.
