How about the real "lost" Ozzy tapes from that time? as compared to the final release

Duncans are my first port of call. If I can't figure out what pickups I want, I just get a set of Duncans and it usually ends up being what I was looking for.

It's in the article! :ROFLMAO: "DiMarzio used cream pickup covers on the Super Distortion to help it stand out from the pack." And then there's this nonsense from the other essay: "I mixed my custom cream color," as if DiMarzio's trademark actually cites a specific proprietary color and not...

I think it's fucking hilarious and sad how frequently he emphasizes his "innovation" of using cream bobbins ever since Gibson finally decided to call him on his bullshit trademark and start openly selling double cream pickups. His whole website is gross. Every pickup description is littered with...

Gorgeous! I love Japanese Les Pauls. My first was an Edwards Custom in Randy Rhoads cream. I stripped the paint off the neck and oiled it up, and the headstock has been busted off twice. So now the neck has a bit of a twist, so I've got it loaded up with brushed gold EMG 81/85s and strung with...

It was harvested no later than 1965.

Canadian.

Depends on the guitar. Right now I'm striving to not support American manufacturers when possible, but a Gibson is a Gibson. I typically aim for Japanese guitars.

I use 8s on my Strat in Standard. Feels close to my Superstrats with 9s in Eb.

The original Classic was the top-end Standard. In 2008 when Gibson redesigned the Standard and introduced the Traditional, the Classic became the more experimental model with extra features. Since 2019 the Classic has been the pre-2008 Standard with PCB electronics and a plain top. Fun fact...

I have a Les Paul with the AHB2 in the bridge and AHB1 in the neck. The neck cleans up beautifully. The bridge is mega hot. I find that rolling the volume knob down to 7 gets it down to EMG 81-ish output. They're good pickups but I do prefer the 81/85 set. Worth noting they're compatible with...

I dunno, my four-foot long intricately carved elephant tusk looks pretty awesome mounted on my wall.

Sixty years ago my family abandoned their home and lives in Rhodesia because it was going to shit. I heard it was a beautiful place. Many of our family heirlooms come from those days, a lot of precious ivory.

DiMarzio = Weiners Fuck them and their double-cream trademark (can't trademark a color if the color is a selling point of a product - John Deere couldn't trademark their green because farmers could specifically want green tractor, UPS could trademark their brown vans because it functions as a...

I top wrap all my TOMs and deck the tailpiece. Done it for 20 years. The tailpiece was designed as a wraparound, I use it the way God intended.

Speaking seriously for a moment... As a Canadian, I truly hope Trump's tariffs work out for you guys. I'm disappointed that he feels the trade between our countries is unfair, but I can't begrudge a man for doing what he thinks is best for his country, and I hope America is able to rise to the...

There's too much red tape. Even if they get enough signatures to put the referendum to a vote, it still has to pass. And even then the First Nations will fight it every step of the way, their treaties are with the Crown not the Province and Alberta doesn't have the authority to break it. The...

The constitution says they can, but they never will. Quebec has voted on it several times, and come very close (within 50,000 votes), but they still haven't been willing to pull the trigger. If Quebec can't decide to leave, Alberta certainly won't. Any province that tries to leave is a traitor...

If Quebec hasn't been able to leave I doubt Alberta could.
