Sexy work as always, darling. Utterly shabby.

What can I say? My parents were Depression babies. I am genetically hardwired to hoard anything that might be even remotely useful. We've still got a 1000-watt motor from an old Cuisinart sitting in storage, just in case anyone we know decides to build something that needs one, though I'm pretty sur...

My advice on guitars will always begin with defining a budget and then playing everything you can get your hands on till you find the one that sings to you. That said, assuming Taylor is out of reach, Ibanez, Washburn, Takamine, and Yamaha all do some pretty nice acoustic/electrics that aren't too s...

You must get an incredible amount of satisfaction from doing such quality work. Amazing! Imagine the satisfaction I get from enjoying the fruits of his labour after having done nothing more strenuous than point and say things like, "Couldn't you mirror those so they look nicer?" and "...

"I believe that I am entitled to be a bit smug. How smug am I? I am a smug bastard. A smug fucking bastard. Yes, I am."

And quite right too!

Stumbled across this earlier today and thought some of you might enjoy it. I already knew most of the story behind the Red Special, but Mr. Idler found it fascinating and was, like myself, pleased by the detail that the sixpence must be pre-1950, because after that the composition changed and doesn'...

While you might not find too many people interested in your particular musical taste here, I think you'll find we'Re a pretty open-minded bunch, despite the occasional foray into taking the piss

Welcome to the forum!

It is indeed. I can't WAIT to find out how much they intend to charge for this rubbish.

Jesus christ. Am I back in high school?

So I've been chatting with cressy about going with a two-piece cabinet like this one rather than my original idea: https://reverb-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/s--PVM9qHwX--/a_exif,c_limit,e_unsharp_mask:80,f_auto,fl_progressive,g_south,h_620,q_90,w_620/v1484944602/k6vzqmcfjpcitadofj33.jpg But bec...
