Rugby was on this weekend do I watched to try to figure it out.
Her: The hell is this? Wrestle-Soccer?
This is actually a legit question and observation. -
I saw RP in Tahoe last month with the Space Shifters. Great show. His keyboard player used to be with Portishead and someone else, Mazzy Star maybe. Anyway, get ready for some unique arrangements of some old classics. I loved them.

It’s a good thing we generally really like them.

I believe the blues jr is pretty universally loved around here

In most cases I think blocking is unnecessary. Just install five springs, and maybe tighten up the claw a little if you still need it. If you still have tuning problems I would try eliminating other possibilities, the nut, shitty tuners, a rough spot on saddles, before blocking the bridge.
The bridges on my Strats usually don't budge since I don't whammy. I keep them tight and flat against the guitar, and usually only three springs. Tuning issues are likely to be elsewhere unless every string is going out of tune at the same time.
This is how mine is. -
Not sure about the bridge but I have graphite saddles on my strat and love them. Haven’t broken a single string since I put them on in 2002ish

Huge rivalry game?
Playing A&M was more like stepping in dog shit. I don’t miss the smell.

2nd time I’ve played one and honestly, I didn’t totally love it. Maybe because it was at GC and it’s hard to get a read on anything in that God forsaken place. I’d really like to try it out at home with some peace and quiet with my own rig. Seems like somehow that ought to be possible at the $2k level.
But like I said, I did kind of dig the Gretsch.

I’m sure this is a dumb question but I’m looking for the honest answer - why does most of the grass on that course look completely dead?
-
So do you guys just by cheap squires and gut them and put better parts in? Instead of buying high end guitars
I have done this. I have an Indonesian squire strat. I replaced everything except the body because I liked the graphic. It’s a great player but it still doesn’t have the vibe that my am std strat does. Some of that could have been my choice of replacement pickups and neck, but I think some of it is the wood too. -
Tigol - that’s awesome.

Which are better: filtertron or dynasonic?

To clarify, even though I wasn’t around for Jimi it seems like he definitely broke more new ground than probably anyone before him and maybe since.
And I love Jimi, but I think Stevie was the better player.- 2

So I have what could be a ngd occasion coming up. If I do it, I’m thinking about something with different pickups than my standard humbuckers and single coils.
So, today I played a les Paul classic with p90s, a Duesenberg Star Player TV, and a $400 Chinese Gretsch Jet.
I couldn’t get the cheap Gretsch in tune very well but I came away digging it a lot more than I expected. In looking online I think I need to go check out a Players Edition Jet or a Vintage Select Duo Jet. But basically I know very little about Gretsch Jets. Can someone learn me smart on the ins and outs of them?

Stevie was better.

Maybe it’s wagyu salmon

Oh the good parts are still good. It’s just that the ever increasing asswhip parts are changing the ratio.

It’s possible to get close, SRV-esque if you will.
But no one ever gets it really right.- 1

So I'm drunk...
I wanted to start a tell me a about thread for him. I watched the concert of his from the old concert thread. I know nothing other than my family enjoyed the music and he is from oak Cliff. Please tell me how badass he was
Go listen to some of his playing. Then go listen to any or every other blues guitarist play. No one before or after could duplicate his chops, intensity, phrasing, or tone. Go look at some of the tribute stuff where a bunch of famous dudes play his shit - none of them can do it right.
He really was one of one. It was like he was an open channel from whatever spirit he drew from. Just insanely good. -
It’s not a thing.

One of the many facets of Stevie’s genius was that in all those notes he played, not one wasn’t appropriate.
