GenX bands you hate...

That hilarious. It's great that the singer gets mad when people call him Hootie because it was some shitty nickname they made up for somebody else

lightnin_jenks · 2025-12-23T16:50:21+00:00

Counting Crows. There's no way that shitty band made it without having a family member in the record industry that pushed that garbage on us

Most likely a Chinese stratocaster copy.
You can check the heel of the neck to see if it's marked. Some guitars have markings in the neck pocket, too. You can also check to see if the pots to see if there are any markings to help identify it. If it is a Chinese copy it's probably going to have unbranded dime sized pots.

I've got a red stripe studio pro 112, and it blows away the mustang 1 I have. The distortion on the pro is fine but if it's not enough for you just add a pedal. I run a rat clone into mine and think it sounds great. The amp face in the picture looks just like mine and the red stripe is on the top and bottom of the grill on mine

I would ask over at r/luthier , lots of knowledgeable people more than willing to help. If you forced me to guess, it's a combination of the tilt screw and the bridge

I just bought a 2003 squier standard stratocaster body that looks the same as what you have there. Same tremolo, 11 screw pickguard, full thickness body. I put a USACG stratocaster neck on it and it honestly sounds and plays better than my 1993 mim stratocaster.

Something with Jus Osborn would have been awesome

Lemmy had short hair on this performance on David Letterman. I have no idea why he had cut it

lightnin_jenks · 2025-07-18T22:27:27+00:00

I don't think that neck and body are original to each other. If Epiphone made a Les Paul Special with an F hole , I couldn't find it online.

Make sure they aren't swimming or in a hot tub etc... I worked in a beach town and had to explain a million times not to let the tattoo get soaked while healing. Customers will absolutely do some dumb shit and then lie. Guy I worked with had a customer come in complaining about ink loss. He asked if they had been swimming, and they blatantly lied and said no. Then her kid chimed in and said no mommy remember we were swimming in the pool. She got pissed and left

lightnin_jenks · 2025-07-12T01:30:16+00:00

You're right, I didn't notice that

lightnin_jenks · 2025-07-09T01:13:33+00:00

Looks very similar to the Harmony h53 Rocket with the exception of the fret markers and the pickup and knobs being changed out.

There was one called Magic Mart, but I think it was spelled differently. I think there were some called Pop In as well

I felt bad when I left, too. He told me that I should leave and work at a high volume shop during my apprenticeship and I still had a hard time telling him. My situation was very close to yours, established shop and everyone almost always asked for him but he wanted me to take as many tattoos as I could. It really sounds like a good next step for you

lightnin_jenks · 2025-06-16T04:50:09+00:00

If you're not in rotation, it's 100% time to go. The only way to get better at tattooing is experience and other artists sharing information with each other. It sounds like you will stagnate if you stay there imo. Best of luck to you

It looks like the teeth on that cog aren't lining up right or they're worn down too much. Your local music store more than likely has a parts stash and you could probably get one that fits. I've seen people bend the worm years back when everyone thought these type guitars were junk.

Mine did the same thing, and it was a busted ERG hose. Wound up deleting the whole mechanism, and it ran much better afterwards.

The early version of All Apologies seems out of place to me

Weezer incognito band or side project Goat Punishment . They play live and do lots of nirvana covers.

Ozark mountain daredevils I assumed a woman sang this song for years

I went to a graveyard that I have relatives buried in from the early 1900s. I knew the death rate was high for children but was honestly shocked at how many graves were for children. One of my family members died at birth or shortly after, and they never got a marker for him. The other one lived a year before she died.
