The late (great) Buster B. Jones had a guitar with "BUSTER B" inlaid on the neck. At least until a couple of airport baggage handlers in Memphis TN decided they needed it worse than Buster did. Of course they worried about "fencing" it with all the inlay on the neck, so they too...

After just putting in dots on the fretboard of the guitar my son and I are building.......I cant imagine the talent needed to do that! And thats before CNC machines.... Yeah .it's a good bet those aren't stickers. Maybe rhinestones? (Mother of pearl) based upon another guitar up at auction. lf.jpeg

Now that's some custom fretboard inlays boys

More great stuff about his guitar that Trogly now owns and other of his models

I have a friend who is obsessive with being quiet. He lives in an 1800 Sqft single home with his GF, who works from home. He typically plays at 65dB (a conversation, whispering for my Northeast buds). I suggest an experiment I did with him to show his loudness wasn't as much as a nuisance as he tho...

I have a Maya Strat clone, nothing special really, ceramic Wilkinson pickups that sound great however and I really enjoy playing it amped up at the edge of breakup and especially with some tremolo and reverb to enhance the tone. But...I find myself enjoying almost as much playing at night on the sof...

On closer inspection it may actually be a heat radiator in the old fireplace hearth...an old NYC apartment who knows..ha ha ha

live it up.

Who needs a working fireplace when you can install a 2 x 15 in its place.

I want one. Looks like I'm back to playing the Thai lottery

I found a few songs I really liked, sampling official vids. One was of more Spanish style. Good for her to try and mash in a new direction. Good to have more change/mashing in pop in general, I guess. On another note, I've been playing with a harmonica guy and my bass friend in practices once a wee...

I'm a sucker for any Fender style that's double bound..sexy

Glen rocking the 12 string...oh yeah

Hats off to your curiosity. I did not know there was a new album and certainly missed the hubbub. I need to get out more. I only knew about it as an old friend had posted on his Instagram page that he liked it. I was quite surprised because he and I grew up on a diet of Rolling Stones, post 70s New...

I love listening to these icons of Rock and Roll from my teenage tears, the people they casually hung out with and the stories (Clapton/Harrison LP) are just like a roadmap to rock history.

It's a long interview...but if you want a real nugget start here: Well Worth It

Ok, so along with my YouTube subscription I get access to YouTube music streaming also. So I thought I'd check out the hubbub concerning Beyonce's new album release. In short, I previewed the songs in the album, mostly to save time but the gist of it was the songs sounded overproduced, contrived and...

Some Winter heat from 1979

Ok, maybe I'm an old geezer but these kids today jeesh

What happened to the days when smartphones had regular protective cases ?

Fun, but I have mixed feelings. At the risk of sounding like a wet blanket, it sounds like a garage band auditioning a new guitarist or some guys jamming at an open mic night. Here's a related video with the same vibe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxPY6uZEbfw I mean...I'm hardly a guitar player ...

Less pretentions and more Rawk. That's how it is done..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84_UvByGDkM&list=RD84_UvByGDkM&index=1&ab_channel=SRVMusicVideo Agreed, but strutting is what the Stones are all about and they do it well as showmen but certainly can't compete with guitar skills of ...
