Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

There are no end of these 'cheap v expensive' demos. They usually prove what the presenter wants them to.

All guitars can be hit-and-miss and I've never bought into the cosmic accident that seems to make guitars proportionally as good as their age (or price for that matter - well, OK I've pursued some fucking expensive guitars but many don't live up to expectation). Right now I've a $700 Tele that's easily as good as any CS example I've had but accept that my opinion might not be shared by others. It's just a question of finding the guitars that speak to you and fuck absolutely every other factor.

I have always done mine like that, thought it was the proper way to do it.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

looks like a right faff about to me. When I can just shove the string in, tighten the locking nut and fanny's your uncle bobs wife.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Yeah locking tuners do make it a whole lot easier.

I enjoyed watchingthat. Interesting to see all the different jigs and tools they created.

With all those tools and their process I like to think they can produce guitars in a very consistent manner. Thanks for posting.
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Derek never ceases to amaze me, with or without the slide. This band is really getting in that Allman Brothers Band groove
