    Guitar finishing: Magic Marker anyone?

    I don't know whether this has been mentioned here before, but some of the best, most vibrant wood dyes are actually those alcohol based stains intended for coloring leather. They are available in a wide range of colors, and are deep penetrating as well.

    Play doctor for me

    I agree that it looks like a rash from an allergic reaction of some sort. I've had similar outbreaks on my scalp a time or two, and it went away in short order.

    What's a good first amp

    The Super Champ XD hands down. The absolute best tone, versatility, features and bang for buck in that price range.

    Installing new set of Tele Vintage Noiseless pups, any tips?

    Hope yours work at least. I bought a lead Fender Vintage Noiseless for my Tele, and the pup was dead as a door nail. And I do mean DEAD (cue the Monty Python dead parrot sketch).:flamemad: I purchased a set of Seymour Duncan Vintage 54's and haven't looked back. I've installed a set of the...

    The World Cup Soccer Thread

    Granted Lukas Podolski was a bit out of sorts that match, however considering that Germany was very unjustly a man down, let alone Klose, due to complete incompetence on the part of the ref (provided it wasn't actually deliberate to skew the game, I have my doubts here and the US game that...

    Well, the difference in this instance is that I'm an ardent supporter of the German team and feel jaded.:mad The comparison is not lost on me nonetheless.:socool

    Yes, a complete outrage. He was absolutely lost throughout that entire game. That makes two incompetent referees in the same day. :thwap

    The World Cup Soccer Thread

    I completely agree. The Spanish referee threw the game, especially in the case of Klose, who did NOT deserve either yellow card, much less the second one that led to the red card. Serbia won their one goal fairly, however Germany was unfairly handicapped from a victory by that poor excuse for...

    Tele - Ugly or Beautiful?

    At the end of the day, I think that the Tele is the best design of all time as far as solid body electrics go. Leo's first was the best IMO. It's the model that I would choose if I could have only ONE guitar and no other, so that should tell you what I think of it's beauty. Wonderfully simple...

    Ditto. Don't worry, I've seen decades of loyalty to a team fostered over far less logical reasons than that. It helps that Germany typically fields a better than average team too.:thumbsup

    Bands and artists you "just don't get"

    That's the problem with these types of discussions, the minute someone's personal favorite is selected for condemnation, there is the tendency to defend rather than "let it be" (pun intended).:cool:

    Bands and artists you "just don't get"

    Many thanks for the recommendation Red. I have indeed heard that album, and am still not overly impressed. Guess it isn't my cup of tea. He's not the worst thing going by any means, however I just can't embrace his work as many seem to. I would have mentioned that I'm absolutely sick of so...

    Bands and artists you "just don't get"

    Grateful Dead (I'm frankly grateful that some of them are dead). Bruce Springsteen (voice like a cheese grater). Metal (all of it, dude), 80's Hair bands (The lot of them. They all tried to look and sound the same anyway, right?) Current Emo/teen girl magnet boy bands. Rap (give it a rest...

    Agile Has Arrived

    I have an Agile 3100 and an Xaviere 510. Both are really good value for the money, and a good answer for those seeking a playable LP clone without the budget for a top of the line Gibson CS LP. Have to agree with the others, please post those photos.

    Best cheap chorus pedal?

    I have one of these. It's a wee little thing, and as you say, save for the slightly off putting plastic case it does it's job without a complaint from me.

    Xavier XV 500

    You MUST have gotten a bad neck on the first one. I have an XV-510 Lemon drop that has a really low action with zero fret buzz or other issues. The honeymoon period is long over, and I still find it to be a great, low cost LP copy.

    Harmony-Central is a tough place...

    Those who are quick to rip apart a performance for sport, all the while failing to provide solid, constructive advice are nearly always piss poor players themselves. Don't let the armchair cyber "experts" get you down.
