Robin Trower says it means more tone. Can't say I'm a fan of his though.

Re: Return of the Gibbons shocker thread!

Looking at the present and future guitarists, I'll stick with the past thanks. Audible dreck, 90% of it. Although there still seems to be a plethora of youngsters on YouTube playing Sabbath and Zeppelin material, so maybe there is hope. I'll fetch my cardigan. Is it a Gibson cardigan ? If it's anyt...

Re: NGD Gibson LP Jnr

That's rather nice. Congrats. Just a tip. Snap the neck off at the heel and screw it back on with whatever you can find in the shed. I promise you, it really improves the tone... ;-) Cool ! good advice thanks :thumbup: We might need a thread for which screws have better tone, stainless, steel, bras...

Re: Guitar food groups and must try guitar sounds

Guitars are works of art that also make cool sounds. So they are better than paintings, sculptures etc. Nothing wrong with collecting them. Says the guy who can't play and is thinking about buying another one. Sigh.
