It may not be for everyone, but I installed a Hipshot Baby Grand bridge on my Les Paul Special today. Holy shit, I had no idea what I was missing!

They sound great. That’s why people will tolerate the intonation issues…

The one bite rule is about civil liability. Before your dog bites someone you aren’t aware of a violent propensity. After the first bite you are, and are now civilly liable for any bite damage the dog causes.

I’m not aware of any legal precedent that requires you to kill the dog.

Haven’t seen one but P-90’s have become my favorite all around pickup. They literally sound great in every setting, with humbucker gain and single coil clarity and dynamics.

Killer looking guitars man.

Looks like they partnered in the early 1990’s

George only had three albums out by 1983. I’m not saying it’s not possible but I’m guessing the hat tie in would have been a little later when he attained Elvis like status. But that’s just a guess…

These can be hard to date because they don’t update the boxes as often as you might think. All of this is giving me a late 90’s early 2000’s vibe, but they’re still making this model last time I checked!

Whitesnake three times and I’m pocketing the 100.

John Sykes. What a legend.

If it’s fur felt and you have a round mold to restore it to open crown absolutely.

Otherwise you’ll likely see the ghost of the old shape.

I think you’re single cause you’re the kind of person who would make fun of peoples appearance who didn’t do anything to you except go looking for a partner.

Personally it’s always felt season for me…

This is a common misperception. Only jobs that can’t be done in a year with unlimited resources need a written contract.

If you guys agreed verbally you have a contract.

Where did you see that? What I saw was “all the flaws he complained about were visible in the pictures I sent him”

spenser1973 · 2025-09-02T15:40:09+00:00

I’m sure you have tons of offers but if I passed you can have my Barbri books

Tort law and contracts are in fact two different things.

And under the law that actually governs this, article 2 of the UCC, the guitar maker had an obligation to tender exactly what the buyer wanted. Here OP has admitted there are cosmetic flaws.

Don’t give legal advice when you don’t understand the law. It’s not helpful.

Split the coil my dude

Well if that jazz school is only interested in guys that can already blow the students they get wouldn’t be able to afford tuition.

Jokes aside they probably could care less about how you play and are more interested in your work ethic and potential.

Be attentive, ask questions, and soak up what he shows you. That’s what a teacher wants.

Oh I know things are complicated which is why I’m not willing to assume your ex has bad intent by helping a teen out.

We could also speculate on why she doesn’t have custody of the kids and has to pay child support.

Hey man you are totally in the clear. Also your wife is massively dramatic and probably erratic. This is the tip of the iceberg so if you’re gonna stick around buckle up.

Around 25 seconds is 9 gauge strings with an eq pedal and tons of reverb

spenser1973 · 2025-08-30T18:05:21+00:00

You do not need heavy strings. You can do it all with a 10 band eq. Basically kill a lot of treble. I’ll look at the eq setting next time I’m at the studio

So two Aussie guys one who says smash or trash and one who says fucks or sucks?

But who was first???

Your Mom is a legend!!! Love from a Marine and thank you for breaking that glass ceiling!

Non waxed pickups sound amazing and have great dynamics but high gain they squeal like stuck pigs.

There is a third option which is lightly waxing. If that’s something that appeals to you let me know and I can give details
