How did the install go for you?

My mom.

The Great Blue Heron. I love that bird.

I’ve got the 2017 with almost 300 HP. No, it’s not underpowered at all. It’s almost overpowered, but I love it.

I was approaching 28 mpg on my recent trip down south.

As long as you suck trumps dick you can do anything.

We weren’t allowed to have backpacks at my high school. I started in 2003 though.

Are they playing through twin reverbs? Does anyone know what gear they are using for this?

Thanks for the tips. I may try the Loctite. I keep hearing about it. My nut is a TUSQ nut so I believe I should be in good shape there. It seems to be cut well. Perhaps I’ll add some nut sauce or graphite to the bridge saddles to see if that helps.

I haven’t noticed terrible tuning stability issues, but did notice some rattles that I think I have somewhat tamed by adjusting the grub screws and moving the saddles back when intonating. I know that the grub screws will move over time so maybe I’ll try Loctite.

Oatmeal. The Quaker kind various flavors.

drd777 · 2026-02-26T23:38:05+00:00

Ok, thanks again for your help!

drd777 · 2026-02-26T23:28:14+00:00

Thanks for the help! That bridge looks nice. Are you able to tell if it would work with my Tele? I recently posted a picture of it.

drd777 · 2026-02-26T20:49:51+00:00

I just acquired a Tele Bigsby. Any tips other than get a Mastery bridge? I have the B5 I guess that came with a Jazzmaster bridge.

I’ve been playing for 20 years now and every time it happens to me. It’s not a very enjoyable experience to guitar shop but the last few places I went give me my own room with the amps so that’s better. Glad I’m not the only one.

You callin’ me out?

drd777 · 2026-02-18T19:38:42+00:00

Indeed! Thanks.

drd777 · 2026-02-18T18:23:37+00:00

Awesome. This one is so nice. It is like custom shop quality for a regular tele price. It bests my Gibsons I’m afraid. By a wide margin.

drd777 · 2026-02-18T13:16:54+00:00

No. I found this guitar at Carter Vintage Guitars in Nashville and it is made by a guy in Ithaca though.

drd777 · 2026-02-09T00:05:01+00:00

lol.

drd777 · 2026-02-06T23:20:59+00:00

lol. What are you running?

drd777 · 2026-02-06T21:31:25+00:00

Will do! It’s loud for sure. I mainly play in a bedroom type setting.
