To set things right I do have an older Mac. Might be seven or eight years old by now. So my browser may be way out of date. I use Safari. This could all be on my end of the net.

I have actually worked out a design for making a home made one of these. See attachment below. It uses two pieces of steel. One big enough for the base. The other one on the backside. This one would be drilled for the saddle screws. A gap would be le
My boss's husband has been trying to start a psycobilly band. He's been playing an upright double bass and has a five string electric as well. Shanna told me today that the guitar player he has is kinda useless. Thinking about hooking up with Roger a

If the stream is black don't panic. The earth is still there. : ) They have explanations to let you know what's going on.
I just got this pedal and it's all I hoped it would be. If your not familiar with this it's a distortion pedal with a clean mix. The distortion is an exact replica of the old Ibanez tube screamer. The clean is your guitar without distortion. So you c

Howdy Nation!
I'm finding I have to steeply angle these pickups to get an even volume across the strings. Closer to the lighter string. Has anyone else had this problem? Or could it be the pickups I'm using? I bought four sets of these years ago. Ea
I can kinda play. I can kinda sing. Put them together and I kinda sound like two cats fighting. I already know our brains are hard wired to do only one thing at a time. Our bodies have what's called physical remembrance. The more you do something the
What size is best?
Do they actually keep the stings in place? This is for an unfretted four sting.
What to use to keep the bolt in place?
How do you cut one to fit a 1 1/2 neck?
This is for a first build I have to have done by next Sat. I already
