    Thoughts on online classes?

    It's funny, I've been teaching for over 20 years, and when the pandemic hit and I had to start teaching online...I panicked. It was definitely a learning curve and while a lot of my colleagues hated it, I quickly found my stride and now I enjoy it more than face to face. Like others have said...

    How does a Suhr Modern hold up to more modern guitars?

    Thanks to Suhr's incredible fretwork, I've set my guitars up with hilariously low action. 2/64" on the high E string and I can do two step bends without choking out. I have my bridge humbucker higher than the neck humbucker, and the middle singlecoil is pretty low so I don't bonk it with my...

    How does a Suhr Modern hold up to more modern guitars?

    I have 5 Suhrs (two Moderns) and they're killer. Remember, they're a custom shop. You can order them with different neck profiles/nut widths/hardware/electronics etc. The blue Modern in the picture has a straight 16" radius and is incredibly modern feeling. I haven't really touched my Ibanez...

    NAD Pre-500 Rev C Dual Rectifier #41

    Thanks! It was very much a right place, right time situation.

    NAD Pre-500 Rev C Dual Rectifier #41

    Better is totally subjective, and I know a lot of people consider the Rev F the ultimate Rectifier. For the way that I play and the tones that I dig, this Rev C is it for me as far as Rectos go. It's aggressive, tight, punchier through the mids, doesn't have that typical Recto fizz and has...

    NAD Pre-500 Rev C Dual Rectifier #41

    Soon! :) It's funny, I'm a big fan of the Mark series amps, but I didn't gel with my old Mark V at all. Sounds like you ended up with the right amp!

    NAD Pre-500 Rev C Dual Rectifier #41

    Well, 2022 started off with a bang. I've owned a LOT of Rectifiers over the years...and this thing is incredible. Super tight, aggressive, articulate and none of the Rectifier fizz in the top end. The pre-500 Rectifiers have long been coveted as holy grail amps, and this is #41. Here's to a...

    JJ Junior, what a disappointment

    The JJ is based on the BE-100, which is like a Super Lead with a master volume. Like a Plexi, the EQ is subtractive. So if you start with everything around noon, it's going to be pretty dark. Everything on 10 and it's mostly out of the circuit. There's also a little mini switch above the bass...

    How do you afford guitars from custom shops and high end instruments?

    Not to brag, but I'm in my 30's have spent a large portion of that time with up to 10's of dollars in savings. Really though, lots of buying/selling/trading where the deals lean in my favor, a lot of right place at the right time, and being lucky enough to make something resembling a living...
