How do people play with the strap so damn low? I have it so high I need to turn the strap backwards so that the buckle doesn't sit on my shoulder.
I am the opposite of that. Well, not completely. I can play it anywhere BUT high. If it's too high it just irritates me as my elbows and shoulders get crampish feelings from being at such weird angles.

I've got a cheap Mexican Tele and a Fender Mustang III 100W amp. I play bad

If I don't play high I can't stretch across more than four frets so I don't.


At my grandpas with his awesome guitar studio, posing pictures tomorrow.

Basses > All your petty problems

Hollow-body is the way to go.

Saving up for a black Epiphone Les Paul.

Getting an amp for Christmas.
I have the Epiphone, it's really heavy, as in lead weight heavy.

If anybody is building their own guitar amp and wants some free CGW 20K Glass resistors you can PM me, I've got around 10 of them and no particular use for them. I've also got large surplus of assorted electrolytic caps, milspec resistors, power resistors, carbon fiber resistors, and a few ceramic caps. I'll send them to you for free, they'll fit in an envelope so it's like 50 cents shipping for me and they only cost me a couple cents each when I bought them. It'll save you a little money and time digging around on jameco, digikey, amazon, ebay, or wherever you are buying your parts. It will also free up some space in my parts bin.

I've also got a couple of Sorenson 125V AC orange neon lamps that will pull light right out of a standard electric socket if you're interested in making your project light up, but I only have a few to give away. I've personally shoved them in an outlet so I know they work. I also have a bunch of green LEDs.

My dad has been doing nothing but playing guitar for 30 years. I'll post a video of him playing some day maybe this month, he has made his own songs, and solos. I have an acoustic and a few electrics, but I haven't bothered learning to play, I will someday though.
