Song writers! How much do you typically write your songs before showing them to the rest? Do you demo them with drums and bass parts or is it just a bare bones strummy singy type of deal? Do you write down the chords or do they have to figure them out? And how does it go from there? While we only p...

Currently I find myself only playing in two bands: Service, where I'm on bass, and Live Knives, in which I'm on guitar and writing all of the songs besides lyrics. The latter was a long time in the making. The last band in which I played guitar, Dead Halos, kind of dissolved when I moved from Louisv...

Nothing really bizarre to show. But this MIJ Laguna ES-175 copy seems to be pretty rare. I've only ever seen one other, when I did an extensive Google search after buying this one years ago. A luthier acquaintance way more knowledgeable than me on Japanese guitars claims this one was built at the Ch...

Foiled again! It WOULD be nice to have something WiTh DimArZios or DunCans That was exactly my rationale when I picked mine up, as I typically always used PAF-style pickups. Ended up putting one of these in the Burny and I'm still very happy with it a few years later: https://www.manliusguitar.com/...

I have four Les paul Shaped guitars if you count my Marauder, so I really don't need another one but I've always loved these Burnys and my friend selling it is deal, breaking, my resolve. Not this one but exactly like it. 90s so it has the lightning bolt inlay instead of the direct copy. Talk me ou...

I HIGHLY doubt that, but sweet amp regardless!

Thanks. And as I said, no way to verify that. Just stating what I was told.

After swearing I'd never go back to one, I'm back in the SVT club. This is the first 70's one I've ever owned though, and I'm loving it. The head is a '72-'75 Magnavox era, and the cab is a '79 with the 50 watt square magnet Eminence speakers. The guy I bought it from said that he bought it from a b...

I'm also in serious lust with the Gretsch Tim Armstrong signature G5191 guitar, though I'll probably never actually buy one. Are the electromatic not built like total dogshit anymore? I'm asking seriously, because I love Grestch stuff and every electromatic I picked up has been super sad. I think t...

The Fender Mike Dirnt P-Bass is seriously the best bass I've ever played. Huge chunky baseball bat-style neck with a Jazz nut width? Nitrocellulose finish? Hi-Mass bridge? Ash body? An amazing sounding vintage-style split coil pickup? It's my dream bass. I bought a sunburst one with a maple fretboar...

Okay, I'm re-listing this. I just don't play it as much as my Burny and Orville LP's. Plus I've been primarily playing bass in bands for, oh, only the last 20 years or so. 1975 wine red Gibson Les Paul Deluxe https://i.postimg.cc/fb5CbdSz/20240331-102718.jpg I purchased this guitar in 2000 at Guitar...
