Re: how to make your own PCBs

Whoops my mistake, sorry, crippled Eagle lite is still available from download page, I had expected it to be listed under products and prices, even if it is free.

It took me about two days to learn to use, for beginner it may ...

Re: The end of the cable argument????

Impedance gives me a headache sometimes, because if you poke it too hard you get phase angles and graphs of voltage and current not matching and all kinds of mean nasty things involving higher math. Once you've learnt j-notation (or i-notation in pure maths), basic trig is just so much easier. imag...

Re: Butter neck

I don't generally like glossy maple necks, but the finish on the neck of my Esquire isn't hideously thick, so I can cope with it. Plus it's one of the best necks I've ever played. However, the finish on the necks of Classic Vibe Squiers, for example, is way too thick for my liking, at least on the ...

Re: Wanted: Cheap set of PAF's

Always meant 'patent applied for' to me. I've always thought the tag referred to the original design and therefore specs. Correct if wrong - Seth Lover invented the HB Gibson had them in production while the patent was being processed, Gibson tried to protect the technology by using the sticker in t...
