2001 R4. 11-52 or 10-48, medium action. I have a zinging buzz on the plain strings that just won't go away with a truss rod adjustment or raising the action a bit. The guitar has the hump where the neck joins the body that's been discussed here before. Time for a Plek? TT100

(Ok, misspelled mangler. doh.) Just came across my Linkedin. In case anyone here is interested in turning the boat around. Cheers, TT100

It's been over twenty years since I've seen Neil Young and I got the chance again last Friday night. He played Friday night at the Memphis in May Beale Street Music Festival, backed by Promise of the Real. Awesome show. Played from 10:45 till after 1am, just a stone's throw from the...

Recently I was setting up my Strat which had a bad high E string saddle/bridgeplate transition. Bend the string and "pop." Instead of paying a buck a string locally for a bunch of high Es or tearing open another set I found "Rogue" brand on Amazon in different gauges in quantity. I think I...

Generally I'm pretty free with letting folks whom I know well play my guitars, but I usually offer or they ask first and it's a controlled environment. At a recent rehearsal I had to step out during break and take a work related call. When I came back within earshot I heard the band jamming...

Insists on full barre chords 90% of the time Always has effects on (chorus, delay & compression, the '80s are over) Only strums 1/8th s and in an down and up endless pattern Doesn't stop playing (loudly) during discussion breaks at rehearsal (hey, Hey!, HEY!!, STOP!) Is a friend and we need to...

I'm Strat shopping. Sold my 2005 butterscotch Strat a few years ago and now need another to cover particular songs in a band. Ok, I just want one too. :spabout The other guitarist in the band just bought a '50s Classic Player which sound good but when I put down the R4 and tried it, Gawd was...

The body on my '84 USA Tele Toploader has about had it. Thirty years in a cheap gig bag destroyed the finish so a few years ago I removed the poly, sanded it and sprayed it with Amber tinted lacquer. Now it's just too tired looking. I'm looking around for a replacement body but don't know...

I've been on the fence over this for a long time. As a huge Crazy Horse fan I'm just going to have to put a Bigsby on the R4. I had a Strat for a short time and found that hanging on to the bar while soloing gave me all the waver I wanted. No dive bombing wildness, just that shaky nervousness...

Got an '01 R4 that I love. Fralin P90s, Pigtail stud, posts and bushings, Alessandro pots and Jensen PIO caps. Superb guitar. Neil Young was the reason I picked up a guitar over 40 years ago and I'm thinking of putting a Bigsby on the R4. Is the B7 the correct model and can the Pigtail stud...

The trem on my '68 Pro Reverb is getting weak. I've lost the link to a guy selling "super bugs" but if anyone knows where to get a good replacement, I'd appreciate the info. Thanks, TT

Still, the only LP I've ever owned. Still love it. 2001 R4. :2cool

The sound and color of this thing knocks me out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FzXP0osx9s Then there's this one. FF into the clip about 7:50 minutes to get past most of the monologue. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GoOffQt_Ag TT

Maybe an R6 but the boy is doing a fine job! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwqhUmIFg8A&feature=related :3zone :3zone TT

Found this guy on Utoob. Kinda like a Pauly Shore who plays guitar. '55 GT into a ToneMaster. The sound of rock. About 2:09 he goes into a ZZTop medley. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCXPv7fydaw&feature=related Turns out, on most all of his clips, he goes to the ToneMaster for an...
