On Reverb there's a man selling his 1964 Mustang for $7.5K. He claims to be the original owner; that his parents custom ordered the Candy Apple Red paint. I'm concerned it may be a refin. He has offered no documentation but has answered my inquiry promptly (see below). Anyone have any knowledge of t...

Though I don't own one, this Forum has made me aware of some Jaguar bridge, tremolo, and shallow break-angle shortcomings. When I found this article, it sounded like the Vintage Guitar Company has solved some of them. So FYI, and let us know what you think: http://guitar.com/review/electric-guitar/v...

..no word on whether it was Jenner, just a video from over a decade prior... Maybe the neck broke on Jenner, he ditched the guitar, some guy on the west coast made/had a neck made for it...and sold it to some junkshop as a true Frankenstein with no vintage collectability whatsoever...and then in wa...

Thanks, Paul. That's too important and helpful to be called "trivia". A question for everyone, not meant just for Paul... What makes a Fender a Mustang? 1. It seems to be the shape of the body, and the scale? 2. or is it these two criteria plus also the pickups, bridge, and the switches? M...

Are you saying this means you can hear the difference between solid body electric guitars made of different woods?

We, most guitarists, appreciate Jeff Beck's unique technique. We struggle for the right words...we might refer to his "Blues-Rock-Jazz technique". Relistening to early Jeff Beck, his Blues-Rock not yet grown tangent to the jazz sphere, I realize now how hard it was to "hear" what...

Buffalo NY produces some hot musicians like Jim Hall, Lucky Peterson, Ani DeFranco, Paul Siebel, Rick James, GooGoo Dolls, Pegasus, Billy Sheehan, Grover Washington, and the amazing Peter Case.

Peter founded The Nerves, and then the ultra-cool Plimsouls. Give a listen:

Marty Balin of Jefferson Airplane just died too.

Yeah, I was struck by Marty Balin's passing. So young. Thanks for reminding us, FM.

Otis Rush...so sad, such a loss! Ever since I first heard The Bluesbreakers cover it in 1967, "All your Lovin" has been my favorite Chicago Blues tune. Later I was blown away by the original Cobra recording. Otis' genius created melody, amazing changes, lyrics with a raw, controlled voice...

Check this out, mates...Ian Moore creating some great power pop with a surprising partscaster...Strat body and Esquire neck (i.e. a pre-Tele Esquire)... Hey guitar techs, how they do dat, eh?

Anyone ever notice Blur's reference to Buffalo...I believe it's Graham Coxon wearing our Buffalo, New York sweatshirt with the Bison logo in this video...

Pretty good up to 2:56...

Jopn, that looks like great work...congratulations. It's got all the ratrod beauty one could want. I hope those pups work for you because they really add to the visual vibe.

From the MY LES PAUL FORUM: The guitar played by Kurt Cobain on the Unplugged in New York album and also supposedly the last guitar he played before he killed himself was lost in a divorce settlement by his daughter Francis Bean. That's pretty crappy. Her ex claims she gave him the guitar as a gift....

Thanks Thom, Concretebadger, dezb1, Robroe, Nick for the suggestions and info.

Slainte,

I'm helping my god-son select a new amp to meet these criteria. Any suggestions? -enough volume for jams or small gigs with drummer, bass, vocals -playing mostly classic rock, blues rock. ideally a good dirty tone but also a nice clean to use with pedals. -must have FX loop for pedals i already own ...

Sadly, Pops Staples' daughter, Yvonne, passed. As you may well-know, The Staples Singers were a major Rock-Gospel force in the 1960s civil rights movement.
