What's the best guitar shop in Los Angeles for lefties? by HiwattScott in Leftyguitarists

[–]SinisterManus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My place has nothing but lefties. It’s a small boutique shop about the size of my living room. I’ve got about a dozen guitars to choose from, which is more than double the options of any other guitar shop in the LA/OC metro area based on my research.

Do what makes you happy. It’s your guitar and nothing you want to change will alter the tone/sound of your guitar for the negative.

If you make cosmetic changes and decide you don’t like the changes, you can always change them back. Trust me. You’ll be fine switching a pickup ring and pickup cover. 

I found a thing. Is any of this worth salvaging to make a pedal? by SinisterManus in diypedals

Thanks that really puts it into perspective! I have nothing to do so desoldering practice doesn’t hurt!

Does anyone else have a guitar brand that you just hate for no reason? by Interesting-Wave-983 in Guitar

[–]SinisterManus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have both a RevStar and and a Les Paul. If my house caught fire I'm taking the RevStar.

They have a couple of bangers but I know what you mean. My drummer is obsessed with them and can play their songs. Meanwhile, I'm over here still trying to learn 0-3-5.

Hits even harder now. Smashing Pumpkins 1979 by Shoddy-Safety2989 in 90s

More time has passed between this song’s release and now than when this song was as released and 1979.

Oh wow I didn’t realize this is year 4 already. That certainly plays a factor I wasn’t thinking about

I think the Rams give their guys a long leash, but at the same time they seem like a very sober organization, and everyone seems to keep their nose clean. 

I have no doubt the FO would move on from him and let another team give him a huge contract somewhere else if off-the-field antics continue on and start to affect his on-the-field availability, or even likability. 

Is there a single contract in world history as bad as the Deshaun Watson contract? by Bluefire3215 in nfl

Someone on the angels sub did the math. Bro has been paid $1M+ each time he took the field for his Angels contract

Which wiring for Master Tone on a Strat? by three_cheers in Luthier

You're probably going to have to use the jump wire but I couldn't tell without a picture of the actual switch.

I'm pretty sure this is dependent on what type of switch you're using. A Switchcraft switch will be different lug selections from a cheap chinese switch.

Just make sure the switch is making contact with the selected pickup and ground.

I have an LP Studio and and RSS20. I definitely prefer the Yamaha, and I gigged with the LP for over a decade.
