    The Aeolian Blues...... :(

    Chords? Yeah I have some weaka$$ chords! A# Maj 7 to F# Maj 7 to D# Maj 7 to C min7 then B Maj 7 note: the C minor 7 is really more of a B maj 7 with the B replaced by C for a walkdown I think its some derivative of A# Major, but I'm playing a lot of F minor pentatonic licks...

    WTB Shipping costs for a guitar (general inquiry, information needed)

    Sorry if this is the wrong sub forum. I don't think one exists for how incredibly n00b this question is. I take full responsibility. I am just wondering how much I should expect to pay for shipping a guitar (Ibanez 7 string, no case, just the guitar with everything intact) from area code (NC...

    How annoying is it to mod a fingerboard?

    I was wondering if it's possible to switch out the material for a few dot inlays on the fingerboard. The ones on the playing surface, not the side/top dots. The frets are already in. Would a complete/partial refret need to be done? Or could you tape it off and dremel the dots and refill...

    I've already googled this and I think I get the idea about it all....but how would you describe fingerboard radius to your mom, or nephew or someone that doesn't understand what it is? For those of you more experienced players, how did you determine what your 'favorite radius' is and what is...

    Weird Question about Neck Laminates

    I don't quite understand how the Multi Lam necks work. If you have a 5p neck lets say maple/wenge/maple/wenge/maple then when one piece starts to move the other pieces keep it in check, so on and so forth. My question is (and I am so sorry if this is a dumb question), do I have to use...
