Just wanted to recommend a well-written, insightful book about Howlin Wolf, Moanin At Midnight by James Segrest and Mark Hoffman. It's quite a story with lots of details. Like the repeated abandonments, losses and abuse Chester Arthur Burnett not only survived but in many ways overcame. And it help...

Hey, guys. Could you help me find an amp from the 1990s? The Washburn Southside VGA. About 15 watts I believe, in tweed.

I'll second that. It's a decent collectible. And could be a player. Important: Find out if it has a working truss rod.

Very cool find. Yer lucky with those upgrades.

Found a tone pot, a volume pot, and a Goldfoil pup on a BobKat pickguard...so rare. So lucky!

it would definitely be worth more than $8k to some people. it's just about getting the right people at the right auction. George, I believe you nailed it. Vintage value is destroyed. The potential value is there may be the odd collector who's willing to pay for the autograph collection on a vintage...

My 1960 Stratotone Jupiter needs a new 250 tone pot. The original has a slim post. Any suggestions where I can find this type of tone pot?

Thanks,

Whew, your colors are Killer. Woulda never come up with purple burst and blue...Prince-like hipness. The blues stripe...white woulda been aesthetically dis-integrating. And a lefty! You got a literally unique vintage Mustang.

Shite. Tried. And true.

If you are going to plagiarise someone else's articles, they should probably go into the Whorehouse rather than here. Thanks, Bacchus.

The Rock'n Roll Hall of Fame and induction ceremony...musicians and others have been complaining behind the scenes for years. This is iconic for the bullshit music industry as a whole. I believe Steve Miller's the first to complain right on site...more power to ya, Steve! http://www.cbc.ca/news/art...

You need the original F tuners which have no "shoulder" around the shaft. F tuners made by Schaller have a sleeve around the shaft coming out of the gear housing which isn't on the original Fender-made ones. So for a '66 you need either original Fender ones or you will have to drill the b...

Is this for real? Tunica News reports: Elderly local musician, Robert Johnson, has passed away at 105 in his small home in Robinsonville today. He passed away in his sleep according to caretakers of the Abbey Leatherman Plantation. Mr Johnson was respected world-wide for his early contributions to m...

11s are standard on short scale guitars because the added tension helps keep things stable. That said, I have 10s on my short scales with no problems. Depends on your preference more than anything. Can you explain what you mean by "added tension helps keep things stable"...what "thin...

Virtually every biopic about a creative genius suffers from the same fundamental problem: Creative genius doesn’t lend itself well to dramatization. If the subject is a famous writer, for example, there’s not much excitement in showing her tapping away at a keyboard (or staring glumly into spac...

Yeah, I am familiar with this Robert Johnson. He sold his ankles to the Devil in exchange for Rock brilliance.

Sounds/looks cool. How's the feedback with something like that, and what gauge strings do you use on it? http://reverb-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/s--cJzEd1Q_--/a_exif,c_limit,f_auto,fl_progressive,h_620,q_75,w_620/v1454864522/srioephul3ijz5derqqr.jpg Hey, Paul, the feedback is easily controlla...

So I think the 20+ years of typing on a computer are catching up to me. When I play guitar now I get a pain behind my thumb... it bother me more on my Strat and my Taylor 114. On my Epi LP it doesn't bother me as much...Has anyone ever gone to short scale for comfort or easier playing? Thanks Hey, ...
