GreTschocaster him say: I organize them from thin sounding to a nice full sound in my guitar racks. That way you can pick the right guitar with the sound you want.
Smart. I kinda have mine organized that way mentally, but I ought to formalize it more. It really makes perfect sense. Guitars have a lot of other sonic characteristics (spank, twang, quack, grind, snark, knock, jangle, sparkle, etc), but if you don't get the right place on the thin-to-fat continuum for the purpose to begin with, those won't matter because the sound just won't fit.
ADR him sez: I usually wake up in a cold sweat for the recurring nightmare of not passing my final year of school!
I have that SAME dream. It's always math, and it's the end of last semester senior year in high school and I'm flunking it. In fact, I haven't been to math class since October.
dub the kat reveals that back when i was 15 years old, i sanded right through the top layer of the plywood top on my Emperador acoustic.
Huh. When I was THIRTY, I was using a hammer to drive a tunamatic mounting stud into a hole in a Silvertone electric solidbody I'd just refinished. My grandfather was in the shop hanging out.
He was going "woop woop wooop wooooop wooooooop" right as I splintered the back of the guitar. "My granddad," said he, "always told me it's smart to stop before you hit 'er that last lick."
1 meg pots. Email me to remind me to do that to a couple muddy guitars, yetto. No chance I'll remember otherwise.
