    New pickguard for the CV 50's Strat

    That's a honey alright. I would have gone with something in a reddish tortoise shell; but I dig that Vintage Pearl one as well.

    NGD Gibson Firebird

    Yeah I would take that over just about any SG out there (though the '61 DOES look pretty sweet). I've always loved the Firebird tone, and they're just cool lookin' guitars too. Glad to hear you're enjoying it. I hope you're happy together for a LONG time to come.

    New Fender 2010 American Special Guitars

    I've really been curious about these, would LOVE to test-drive some. I was VERY impressed when Fender re-worked the American Standard line back in '08. I thought all the refinements were good. When the prices jumped higher than the American Deluxe I had bought two years prior I kinda...

    CV 50s tele

    I haven't played the CV Teles yet but I did spend a few hours in a store putting the CV 60s Strat through the paces. Definitely a SWEET axe for the money. Best series Squier's put out in a while IMHO. I'd take that sucker over plenty of Mexican Strats I've played. I can only assume the Teles...

    What would be a good 1st pedal?

    Well with a name like Maxifunk, I'm thinking you're going to need a wah wah pedal. There's no real funk without wah. WHICH ONE you get is a matter of considerable debate. For me, in the realm of pure funky wah tone, the only real choice is the Budda Budwah. I've had one in my chain for over...

    Nice cleans?

    For me you can't beat a Strat through a Fender Twin Reverb. That's about the best clean there is. But I'm not wild about MOST Fender amps when they're over-driven, or when they're used with Les Pauls or other humbucker-equipped guitars so I doubt I'll ever buy one. Maybe a Bassman someday...

    What's the Time-out Setting?

    Hey Y'all, I'm new here so maybe there's something really basic that I'm doing wrong. But seems to me if I log in and browse around a bit I'm always logged out again when I try to post something. How long does a visit to the forum last before you're logged off automatically? Each visit I've...

    Fender: Still coasting on my fame

    Hey Brian, I know you from Jam Session. How's it going man? Anyway that's pretty cool to find yourself in Fender's promotional material. That must be kind of a thrill.

    Is your wife/husband causing you to play less?

    Yeah my wife doesn't understand why I NEED more guitars. I already have a decent Les Paul and a KILLER Strat. She occasionally gives me "the face" when I talk about saving money up for a Tele, and eventually the ES-339 of my dreams. She does have a point; I'm not making any money with this...

    Is your wife/husband causing you to play less?

    Good question. I'd say that since getting married 2.5 years ago I play and practice around the house as much as I ever did. Or at least I'd say that my decision of whether or not I play has very little to do with the wife. However I'm definitely not NEARLY as heavily involved in bands as I...

    New Axeman from Beantown

    What's up guys? I just joined up last night. I'm 30 years old, and live just south of Boston, Massachusetts. I've been playing since I was about 15 but only really got serious about it a few years ago. Anyway I'm a "heavy hitter" on another really cool guitar forum; but I've been looking for...
