You're not alone: It's called "impostor syndrome" among other things. I read an interesting post about it the other day.

Naw. He just posted it yesterday. You can probably paypal him the $800.

Playing electric bass unplugged is way more of a pain than playing electric guitar unplugged.

I've got a few in white, but I think the covers are available aftermarket in other colors. DP182W - Fast Track 2 DP181W - Fast Track 1 DP188W - Pro Track

That's ok. The real challenge of designing that is getting it so the horn still hits you in the solar plexus regardless of which neck you're playing.

Way to make an entrance! Welcome to the HFC!

I guess I'll save "Will Mike make me a five-necked Parker Fly?" for another day then...

Just talk it out in terms of your own experience... Use "I" language, like "Something I noticed when I started to listen back to recordings of myself is ... Blah blah." Then take a minute and show him with your rig, esp. if you acknowledge that more gain often FEELS better, but it doesn't sound better. You can link him to some blog post by one of his heroes saying less gain works better too. If his hero hasn't posted it yet, send his hero email and explain the situation and I'm sure he'll post a two liner on Facebook about it. It's 2014 and I'm sure he'd do you a 30 second favor. In the event that Guthrie Govan is his hero, he already put that into one of his creative guitar books.

What request?

Naw... It's just MUCH farther away from the camera.

That is a fine color. I guess it's more of a red-to-orange than a typical red-orange-yellow fade?

That's not stoopid. Wait til you get past that and start asking yourself if it should be dot inlays (as with some of the earliest, a la Chris' sig), or bound and crowned...

Ooh, so who'd you decide on: Serial or Jol?

I heard that when other brands rock, rocks Shishkov.

I for one am headed straight to TGP to start a "Can anyone get a hold of Shishkov?" thread that starts with something like ... "I would never want to call someone out in public, but ..."

Another question: What's the difference between the options for "neck binding" and "neck and fingerboard" binding?

"It sucks as it cuts!"

Don't quote me, but I swear there was an option for a classical guitar with three P90s and a Bigsby on the form somewhere...

Thanks! And thanks for the solid advice. I figured I'd send him that pic, but didn't know if there was also a secret-handshake name for like-a-59-burst-but-in-no-way-shape-or-form-to-end-up-as-a-clown-burst.

With regards to the finish choices at Shishkov, what should I order to get one that looks like this: "Late 50's" sunburst? It seems darker at the edge to me than a typical '59 burst and not as dark as a jazzburst...

Brent - if you get in the initial run, I call dibs for when you flip it a week later!

Like so? That looks like something from my kids' tangrams set. But in a goodish way? Mike - Have you considered adding ROWYCO finish options that include cross-shipping it to Stike? If you deadbeats don't botch your deposits like I'm hoping, I'm gonna order the sparklingest neo-Standard I can get.

Man. Talk about late to the party... Thanks a lot AdBlock Plus...

Happy belated birthday Stike!

Sweet! And I'll take your Blitz! Huzzah!
