Sorry bro, my post was in no way intended as a dig at you (you were the divorcee in my imaginary scenario). :oops: If I was having a dig I'd tell you about how I recently heard that Auckland Uni have decided to stop using rats in their science...

Re: Number 29

so as i said...I intended this to be a for of jazz guitar...not quite a big arch top but emulating that sound. Which has worked quite well. What is blowing me away is how good this sounds on overdriven patches.... Might be the heavy strings (13 - 53 - bending is fun!) might be the flat wounds...who ...

yup Crimson is a business... I've learned a lot from Ben's vdseos...including how to fail as a guitar builder and the importance of not trying to be a business if you are not. he has become a business...but if you look closely he has an executive director who runs the business and he fulfills the yo...

Re: YouTube goodness

I've never really g0tten or "past participle of get" Jeff Beck. Too unique for my tastes. Does this make me ignorant and a kretin, please? Me neither, I've tried to get into him in the past too, he's one of those guys like Eric Johnson, very polarising player... My dad was a big Jeff Beck...
