    Squier Stratocaster Upgrade Plans Mk 1

    Hi all, How are we? I've got a Squier Affinity strat in need of some love. The neck on it is a tad thin for my taste. Also, I don't want to take my Warmoth Tele to gigs, it's worth far too much sentimentally to me to risk having it broken or stolen. So this is the plan for the strat: New neck...

    I like Big Muff ;)

    How are we all? Recently bought a Sovtek Big Muff off a member of another guitar forum. It is freaking awesome! Why do people say it sounds crap at low levels? I'm boosting it with a MI Audio Blues Pro in front of it and it's amazing. I can get some really nice Gilmourish tones, and it's even...

    Choobs, choobs, choobs...

    Hi all, Yesterday I picked up a second hand Fender HRDx (for $600 less than retail ;)). I'm of the opinion that it needs new tubes though. The previous owner only used it to play harp through, and on very low volumes. The amp itself is in very good condition, I gave it a good looking-over. The...

    Buying a Fender HRD - What to check for?

    Hi all, Am buying a Fender HR Deluxe locally (off the bay) this weekend. I noticed the seller listed it as "Made in USA" where the label from the pic clearly states Made in Mexico. I asked him and he tried telling me that Mexico is part of the USA.:whatever: So when I take my axe around to...

    Tele Refinishing Project

    Hi all, A while back I bought a second-hand BSB Squier Affinity Telecaster. I don't like the colour and got it with the intention of refinishing it, the current finish has some battle scars. I've ordered a Pearloid pickguard and will be off to get some paint next weekend. It will end up like...

    Fender Hot Rod Deluxe

    What are our thoughts on these amps? I played one up at Allan's Music in the City the other day, I was playing just a MIM Strat off the shelf. It sounded great and I was kinda almost pretty much IN LOVE! Had the slightest touch of drive happening, a ton of reverb and was using the Neck pickup...

    It's started! :(

    I recently bought a new Squier Telecaster, bringing my grand total of axes up to 3. I was sitting on the couch this evening when my darling mother proceeded to complain about my 'obsession' with guitars. I'm only 17 and live at home, so there's no whinging from the Mrs...yet. :) I thought it...

    Seriously considering this baby!

    This is being sold by a guy on an Australian guitar forum. He wants $150AUD (currently $120 USD) with the case. It's a Squier Affinity Telecaster, he bought in 2004, so I'm guessing it's from around 2003. He's going to give me a few more pics, as he says theres some chips in the finish, not that...

    Life without you...

    Tomorrow (6/4) is the 4th anniversary of the death of my Nana. Her name was Steph and she was a very lovely lady. She died at age 56, a couple of weeks short of a highly-anticipated trip to Australia to visit us. I last saw her when I was 11, and was 12 when she passed away from a Brain...

We have been working on what we call a Line Hub and yesterday we have finished our looper pedal. Line Hub: -2 inputs (A/B) -Individual input volume control for balance -2 outputs (A/B/Y)...

    Shenandoah - Mason Williams

    Anyone here know this song? I've got to learn it for my music exam at the end of the year (amongst other songs). It's a great piece, and is a challenge..I don't normally play classical pieces. The rubato timing is also very interesting. Not sure if it's right to box it, but here it is...

    Grain Filling -> Burning

    Hi all, My new Warmoth tele is ready to have a design burnt into it. Does anyone know if the grain filling would affect the burning...i.e. not hold it? Thanks, Ben.

    Dan Erlewine's Guitar Repair Guide

    I just ordered this. I've only heard good things about it and I'm looking for a book so that I can learn about setups/tech stuff. I know a bit already but apparently the Erlewine book is great for learning even more. I think it's better I learn to do setups etc myself so that not only do I save...

    Clapton (and Bramhall)

    I'm so pumped...I'll be leaving in one hour for Rod Laver Arena, where I will be going to see Eric Clapton with Doyle Bramhall II. I must sound like a little schoolgirl! I haven't been to a concert in nearly two years, though. Review (and possibly pics) to follow.:bravo:
