I’m curious what draws someone to choose to play a 335?

My guitar is much easier to play and I feel I played much much better! I can’t tell you how much better it felt… how can this be?

Have I seriously been playing with my guitar too low the last 5+ years?!? I don’t care if someone thinks it’s too high… 20 minutes was enough to let me know this change must be permanent. I am 55, so the “cool” factor is long gone. LOL

Anyone else have a revelation like this lately?

That's odd.

Storing people's wifi passwords and other info in plain text that was easily hacked.

Dang. What a blunder.

I'm looking to make a 2nd pedalboard made up of affordable/underrated/under the radar pedals. Suggestions??
Some examples would be DS-1, Carbon Copy, Phase 90...

We've partnered with Sweetwater for a giveaway.

I'll nominate George Benson. My god, this is smooth...



P.S. And yeah, he's a better guitar player than singer, but damn...

P.P.S. I'm looking for great guitar players who less known for their vocal skills. Should've worded that better...

I'm not talking about anything else besides how the pedal looks. Let's talk about form, not function this time. My two current favorites from my pedals are my @basicaudio Scarab Deluxe in the hammered copper enclosure, and my @Tom Von Kramm Spiral Electric FX Demhe in the upside down hammond enclosure. What's yours? I guess you can also mention pedals you don't own, but like how it looks. Please post pics if you can!

There's a well-known guy in rock who I used to like a lot. The story is easily told without naming him. He was well known as a member of a great rock band years ago and since has had a good career as a solo artist. He was one of my older brother's favorite performers.

A few years ago he was playing in NYC and I went. After the show, he was sitting at a table selling a live CD and chatting with fans. I decided to get a CD for my brother and have it signed. When I got to the artist I...

I saw a few discussions on refret and I had 3 of my guitars refretted... so I thought I'd share my experience and save time to others paying it the first time

Here is what I learned:

1. Ask your tech how/if he does level AND crowning of the frets. You don't want unlevel frets or not crowned
2. Ask if your tech will bevel the fret ends, better if you can get a picture of prior work done
3. If the only reputable tech in your region asks too much, consider shipping the guitar...

Similar to last year's Thread. I'm curious to know what has got your attention? What are you excited for? Or even, what's missing that you thought/wanted to see?

A few things I'm interested in:

• ENGL amps: They just look really nice.
• Death By Audio has a new pedal apparently. So curious to find out more about it
• Benson's new pedals! Probably what I'm most excited for. They make killer stuff. Especially interested in their delay.

I know I'm missing things; but this...

Show up as a three-piece and expect to get $300. Four-piece? $400. How has pay for cover bands remained the same as it was three decades ago? We did a gig a couple weeks ago and the club owner tried to pay us only $200.

Is being a professional musician the ONLY industry whose pay inflation hasn't increased?

I'm mostly torn because (a), I do this for fun and (b) I have a good day job. We can't accept zero pay, since we should be able to recoup SOME of the money we spend on strings and gear...

Did a search, and didn't find this... apologies if I missed it.

$2999.99 MSRP now.

I am not the person in this Reddit post, I just saw this.

Guy claims to have ordered a board from a "large online retailer", and instead of just a board.. received a board w/ a ton of unknown Walrus pedals. They seem to be a budget line (to compete w/ JHS's "Series 3"?)?

Possibly a demo board for making videos to be released around the same time as the pedal line is released ? Possibly upcoming NAMM? Could be total BS? I'm not a Walrus person, but these don't look familiar and some...

Despite me redrilling a new pickguard and repositioning the controls as far away from the strings as I could manage, I still managed to constantly turn my volume down at last night's gig. I'm on the neck pickup most of the night and do a lot heavy strumming, playing funky rhythms, and I kept dropping out from turning myself down.

What is the solution, besides not using that guitar at gigs ever again? I just tried putting rubber washers under the knobs but because I have CTS push-pull...

This thread isn’t meant to be about patting yourself on the back, but it IS nice when someone compliments you on your playing.

For me, I play in a tribute band (Bon Jovi). As we were taking pictures with some audience members after a recent gig, someone asked me if I had really studied Richie Sambora over the years as he felt I did a really good job playing his stuff. That’s when I told him “no…I actually learned all these songs in just the past month” LOL. Felt good to know someone...
