Both being pushed through a Fender Deluxe Reverb (Blackface) for some reallllly sweet sounds !!

Good to hear I treat my guitars to a 68' super reverb.

What year is this beauty?

it's actually brand new. I just got it last year. Believe it or not, they gave me $250 off because it was a "scratch and dent" model. lol. When I get moved into my house, I'll photograph the rest of the collection.

Where are the stickers?

In the case man, I hate stickers.

Unfortunately, I just broke a string and don't have time to get to the shop for new strings. So, I'll have to do something else than what I want to not show the strings. I may play tonight with the electric and the acoustic.

One thing this thread shows is, there's a lot of guitars out there that are strung up wrong

please elaborate!

My guess is that he's referring to this method of stringing a guitar: How To Change Guitar Strings- Stringing to stay in tune - Locking Strings to the tuner

The advantage being, that instead of just wrapping around the tuning post, the string kind of clamps down on itself. I've been stringing guitars with this method for a few years now and have noticed more stable tuning.

 

[robertwsimpson]

ah I saw a video of someone doing that and I was wondering what was up. The only time I have a problem with tuning is if the temperature goes crazy or if there is a change in humidity. Other than that, I'm pretty solid.

Javier, you know that I dig your work! No, these are not out of line at all.

Thanks Pugs. I was not sure if they fit the spirit of the thread.
By the way, this is a neat thread. I am digging what folks are doing with various aperture settings and composition.:thumbup:

You bend a lot of notes? That's where I noticed this technique's benefit the most.

 

[robertwsimpson]

I bend some... The strings stretch when they are new, and then settle down after a little bit of time. I might try this stringing technique next time just to make sure I'm not missing out on some marvel of modern guitarring.

 

[Pugs]

LOL!! I'm not sure it's a marvel! It is a really simple thing to do, though, and I have gotten some gains from it. So... whatever works for you...

That Tele, however, just reminds me that I need to add one at some point... And a Les Paul... And an SG... And a hollow-body... And... And...
