The price paid for going electric. 🙌🏻🎸😎

“Strike Like Lightning” is a must-have album for Stevie Ray and Lonnie Mack fans.

Delbert McClinton never truly crossed over to the mainstream. Most musicians' musicians don’t. But he racked up four Grammys, including Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for "Good Man, Good Woman" (with Bonnie Raitt).

Thank you @JimmieVaughan for being so kind after the show for the personal greeting (and my friends for randomly thinking of me). You’re one of the finest blues guitar slingers of all time and a true Texas treasure.

You can only pick two.

Ozzy, Grace and Eric.

Rough, powerful and tugs at the heart strings. Ozzy’s last performance of ‘Mama, I’m Coming Home.’ 🥺🙏🏻🫡

Matcha has become one of my favorite drinks. As a guitar color, it’s growing on me. Last thing I need is another guitar, but this Deluxe Legacy is 🔥.

Very few who are better than Mark Knoplfer.

Keeley knocked it out of the park with the Zoma. Best natural sounding plate and spring reverbs I’ve heard. Sine tremolo, harmonic tremolo, and vibratto are good, too. Gives the Strymon Flint a run for its money and it’s a $120 less. I bought the custom shop purple.

Make this make sense. xitter.cf/DrClownPhD/status/1920…

Young Mick already knew he was going places.

How many guitars in one? 🤔

Guitarists. We’ve got a new GIF. 🤘🏻

The thick bridges on the ASATs are 🫡

LUTHIERS🚨: More than a decade ago, I took a 2000 Gibson acoustic in for some buzzing. To my horror, when I picked it up, I saw a hack job mod to the bridge string groove on the high E that I was told needed a steeper break angle. I didn’t know much about acoustic repairs then. I was pissed about the cosmetic damage. The tech, who was well-renowned in OC at the time, insisted it had to be done and was common procedure. He strong-armed me with the ‘I have 30 years experience, I know better’ line. Never used him again. The E string sounded a bit harsh/brighter afterwards. I had fallen seriously ill shortly after a surgery and stopped playing for many years. I wasn’t 100% sure the repair caused it. Years back, I asked an old tech I used to fill in what I thought was just cosmetic damage. He said leave it. Matching would be too hard. I’ve mentioned the high e sounds a bit off, but it’s a subtle overtone. It’s obvious to me, but he didn’t pick it up. I’ve let it go, because I rarely play acoustic, but last night I plugged into an amp, and it was glaringly obvious. It wasn’t till I put this picture into Grok, yesterday, and asked what’s causing my E string to sound harsh. It said the break angle is too steep and the groove may be burred. Is Grok correct? And if so, how difficult and expensive is it to restore the proper break angle and match the rosewood enough so it’s not glaring? I emailed my current guy, who is great, but I want a consensus. I’m not sure he has a large enough rosewood stash to get close.

Does this 61 Strat look authentic? Or just another overzealous Custom Shop relic?
