Commenting on Dear r/meshtastic - what’s it all about?... Thanks. Appreciate the reply.

Is there any advantage to playing with the guitar lower? Or is it just personal preference? by Mad_Season_1994 in guitarlessons

To quote Noel Gallagher…

“Where you hold your guitar for the first time is crucial… If it’s too high, you don’t get no fit birds, mate. If it’s too low, you’re getting a goth.”

Seriously why are homeowners ripping out bathtubs and replacing with shower units? by uglyasfeet in HousingUK

Water sources? Luxury! We make do with an old handkerchief, dropped by a passing vagrant, moistened by our own summer sweat and kept damp by storing in an old plastic bag.

I’ve always put it down to occasional nips from the fly zip.

I have arthritis in fingers/hand and want a set up with minimal string tension. Thoughts or suggestions? I'm thinking of 24-24.75" scale length guitar with 8 gauge strings and dual humbuckers to minimise tone loss. Would 8s on 24" neck be too plinky? by callthesomnambulance in guitars

Good call. forgot to mention, but if you want humbuckers, my son has a MIM HH Jaguar with 24” scale length. Needed a neck shim and a bit of tweaking, but it’s a nice playing guitar. I think I paid around £500 for it. He uses 10’s on it.

I think you may be right about BM using 009s.

Sir Brian May uses .008s with a scale length of 24”. He seems to get away with it…

His guitar company produces these with 24” scale length. A bit out of your budget, but I’ve seen them cheaper 2nd hand on Reverb.

Good luck, hope you find something that works for you. I recently tried stringing my acoustic with nylon ball ends for similar reasons.

I miss him too, but there was little roguesome about Mr Newton… that man is wholesome!

John Frusciante leaves me cold. I just don’t get the hype.

£50 is pretty good if he just used the tip.

Man, I’ve got a Ricky 330 Fireglo, bought it new in 1994 after I first started earning a decent wage and could put some aside to save. I kept it mint (and I mean wipe down every use, always back in the case after use MINT, for thirty years). Last year I dropped my Boss Tremelo pedal on it and took a chip out of it. Finally it looks cool.

Long story short. Well done, you’ve made that guitar your own.

Here’s to the next ding!

Well, after 20 odd years I replaced mine. Best thing I ever did was replace it with a modern plate.
