I have a soft spot in my heart for over the top 80's style graphic finishes. But now Jackson has made an affordable Soloist with a finish that matches my beloved Vans. What? Is it cool? Of course it is! Does it play well and sound killer? We'll find out together! Have a great weekend and...

I saw this tour at what I believe was the opening "warm up" date at the Salisbury MD civic center which is 3 hours south of Philly. We used to get shows like that because the venue was very available so bands could do dress rehearsals and run the gear. Sometimes they would go ahead and put a...

One thing I screwed up is that I always thought the 490 pickups were ceramic magnet but in fact they are alnico II. I've believed the wrong thing for years upon years. Oy

Neck carve, neck joint, fret size, tuners, pickups and pickguard are all different

I see a lot of people ask the question: What is the difference between the Gibson SG Standard and the Gibson SG 61 Standard? I'll try to answer those questions in this video via extremely poor playing coupled with a complete lack of personal charm. Have a great weekend and "Celebrate...

This was not what I was expecting at all, based on the title! I was expecting some backyard shed workshop nightmare but that looks killer! Nice job!

Nuno has been my guy, even over King Edward since that first Extreme album. Cherone was never my cup of tea but the rest of the band is fierce. Have seen them twice live. Didn't did the Mike Mangione record with them. He's a beast but it didn't swing at all anymore. The fingernails do help...

Yes the 2.4Ghz U2. I still use mine downstairs which is relatively interference free environment. But I love them for that. I had tried a set of LeKato 5.8Ghz but this main room was still too much for those so I use them in the live room. But this one held up well and I love that I can charge...

Finally, Xvive makes a great wireless system that is affordable and with a receiver that goes on your pedalboard and doubles as a tuner, helping to justify the space it is taking. The Xvive P58 Guitar wireless system was just what I needed to combat all of the crazy Wifi interference that keeps...

Yeah I watched it this morning. It was just okay.

The Fulltone OCD and Boss Blues Driver are two very different but very nice to have pedals in your arsenal. But that is two spots and two power ports on the old pedalboard. What if there was someone who not only put both of them in the same pedal but designed the pedal so you could mix and...

The 15 is my next Vox victim

Disclaimer- I love many guitar players and the tones created over the years on Vox amps. But I swear every time I play one, that brand hates my guts. Now, when I say "every time I play one" I mean some modeler, or plug in version. A rube like me doesn't get a chance to play fancy import brands...

I did the Std about a year ago and it was very nice

I was pretty stoked to hear Steven Tyler! I thought that his voice was forever gone but this makes me hopeful that we'll get Aerosmith back out one more go

maybe she forgot to unstrap the peg?

that's what all the black and blood is in the finish. I didn't think to remove the bar before I boofed it.

Yeah it's a big step up from the regular striped series which are already great

I've only played one other Schecter guitar besides this one and I've been really impressed so far! Believe or not, even though I'm almost 90, I've never played EMG active pickups and only played a guitar with a Sustainiac once before, so this will all be pretty new to me!! The Sun Valley Super...

I go by Alan Thicker. Until Alan Thickest comes along then I'm off to Girth Brooks.
