That was cool. Stripped down with no place to hide.

D’addario XLs have occasionally unwound at the ball end of hi e strings while stringing over the years. It happened enough to make me upgrade to NYXLs on all my guitars. Those are string perfection for me.

You can see the “Gristle King” pedal on the lower board…

Praying the Holy Spirit brings comfort and strength for you and yours during this time, brother. A very close friend just went through this. May the Great Physician Whom you serve bless you, keep you and cause His face to shine upon you. Catch you on the other side as you recover, Victor.

I believe that was the same tour. Those names are some I haven’t heard in a long time…Wicomico was a great venue!

We have any members in that part of Texas?

@cmatthes, if that Foghat/BOC show was at the Spectrum in 1981 or 1982, Whitford/St. Holmes opened. Diane and I were there.

Just sent a second track (rough mix blues-rock instrumental)if needed.

The MXR one is the perfect solution, IMO. No chance of blowing your amp and you don’t need a separate amp. I love mine.

I bet a non-guitar playing employee graphic designer type picked the Dean photo and thought it was the same brand.

A prophet among us…

I mean, call it the MUSIC Hall of Fame, and I’m cool. But it is the RNR HOF. And no matter how cool and helpful he may have been to Bowie (and others) Vandross (to quote Mississippi Fred McDowell) does “not play no rock and roll”. Not when GFR, Nugent, Styx, and Kansas (among others) are excluded. It’s bullshit. I should say, I love Ronno’s playing on Spiders.

I’d like to see the Museum but the Hall itself is a joke… a bad joke at that. I’ll restrain myself and STFU before I say something that gets me banned or just pisses someone off. No need for that 😎🎸🎶

@ChugD,You are most correct!

Curious how these sound as a recording solution….

I need to find my first guitar instructor in Delaware when I was 17….he was a HUGE influence on me. Plus he got me high in the bathroom lol. Hey, it was the late 70s/early 80s.

MP3 sent!

I just finished mastering mine. What file format do you prefer, @kizanski, WAV or MP3?

@veatchwas not your most recent a Modified Super-C? Or am I mistaken…?

I haven’t played a Daytona but I assume the bridge pickup is connected to a tone pot? If so, turn it down, way down if needed. If it is not connected to the tone pot, make that happen. If you need something darker and/or beefier, contact @JGravelin. He can wind a Strat pickup that is strongly p90 in character. That won’t be harsh and will rock.

Bless you for helping her. That Ric is beautiful and so is the acoustic. GLWTS

GLWTS…interesting that the neck DC resistance is greater than the bridge. BITD, the builders just grabbed pickups out of a bucket. I do love a good grey bottom Strat bridge pickup compared to the 50s winds. Stronger and bolder.

As recently as a decade ago it was always 3 guitars on a gig, one set up in open G for slide. If I was gigging now, it would be 2 guitars, a combo amp, and no more than 3 pedals. I continual to get more minimalistic at jams and usually am happiest with a nice guitar plugged into a nice amp that is cranked into distortion. So that means an attenuator. No pedals usually. When there is a pedal involved it is a tape echo like a Belle Epoch Deluxe a fuzz, or maybe a treble booster. But usually nothing but a cable. I do like an EP preamp as an always on thing. But for me, a really nice guitar into a really nice amp is all that’s needed for blues, soul, and blues-rock. As I age, less is more.

5 (at least at this point in time) if 0117 materializes…

I have used the MCC and believe it IS Gorgamyte.
