Hey Tung, I too have been getting parts from Radio Shack to build the Fuzz Face. Unfortunately the closest transistor they carry is the 2N3904, and they don't sell sockets, have to order online elswhere. Another downside is they don't have heavy duty DPDT switches, yes order online elswhere...

Hey Lev, Thanks for the link. I haven't heard of the 2008 model till now. I guess I'll have to go to my friendly neighborhood guitar store to give it a test drive. I'm hoping it'll have a brass nut.

Danzego, You may not like my opinion, but here it is- Spend the extra cash and go for the AMERICAN STANDARD STRAT. Here's why: 1) It's American, with better build quality and electronics. 2) Has better resale value. 3) A Profesional instrument allowing you to build your tone...

Grunge, I read your original post to the end, and as everything is said and done at this point, I sugest you continue your education, for you, your girlfriend, and your potential future family. Don't think it may be out of your economic reach, if a 4 year college ed. is out of the question...

My ring bothers me when she tells me to turn it down.

NO BS PEOPLE, I approach my practice 4 fold: 1) I'll practice chords with the the appropriate scales and arppegios,and build my speed. 2) I'll practice random chords and try to link an improvisational solo-that gets your mind working, think bass note and or the highest soprano for...

Welcome GIL, Everyone WELCOMED ME, so I'll welcome you. Consider yourself,:AOK: part of the family.

Kyle, Welcome home, and you know it!

I'd like to know of anyone who modded their Strat with a Hot Rail pup. I believe they're made by Seymour Duncan. Any info on the sound and what placement you put it in (neck, middle, bridge) would be appreciated. I'm looking for a MORE rock jazz fusion sound.

2007 was a crucial year for me as a musician. I learned to let fear go and to push myself, I am good enough, I am a fretboard warrior, I control this instrument, I will not let it control me. Took me lots of years to understand this. Here's an exercise: Before you touch your guitar, tell it -...

If you really dig the guitar, and you can't get satisfaction from the store you bought it from, I say get the fret(s) replaced from a reliable guitar tech. The key is having the tech check all your frets especially in the higher registers so none are missed. Also beware of MEDIUM strings...

Thanx Thanx alot everyone for the welcome. And hey Krashpad, have you (ever) been to Holland? I'ts my fav getaway since 1999. Name me a place you've had coffee and chances are I've been there.
