NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

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...

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.

You will be bringing the Hound Dog Taylor guitar back with you eh?

Has anyone tried the EHX Spruce Goose Overdrive? Supposed to be a Bluesbreaker clone with extra Boost function. I've still got my mate's JHS Morning Glory V4 available which is supposed to tickle the Bluesbreaker funnybone. I should probably pick up a guitar and play it before going to market for p...

You're obviously in the wrong place. Off to nzpianos.com you go.


At least you'll have a couple of pedals then!

Wait until I plug it in to one of your vintage Fender amps and play an Am pentatonic lick littered with flat fifths.

Aroused

That was quite interesting, and I know nothing of music theory, but it was well done I thought. Another rabbit hole for some people.

You maybe old or not, but I bet the albums you listened to the most weren't from the 60s and early 70s. Sigh, I am old!

An upholsterer might be able to make a copy and might have suitable pins.

Or a leather goods maker like the leather shop on Otaki, Black & Co

Very much like mine. The old Maxon pups sound great! Yeah they do, they're actually single coils underneath the faux HB top! The frets on mine have zero life left and the fretboard is flat (no radius). If I get the frets done I might get the board radiused to 7.25" My pups were really micropho...

You'd probably be the only Morris dancer they've ever had at a gig!

While the style of music isn't my thing I thought it sounded good and had some nice rhythms. Good job.
