+1 on the steel wool. I never thought of that, that's a great idea, Drew. Excellent job on the guitar, and nice touch with the beer & pizza

Thank Rich Harris - most of this I learned in his "used guitar cleaning primer" and in fact he goes into a bit more depth than I do - my only real improvement was the masking tape over the pickups so you could do this to set neck guitars, or bolt ons when you didn't have time/desire to pull the neck.

Technomancer - 10-46 with a .68. I too wish they had a .60 or .62, but so far so good, once I got the damned thing in there...

Wow, doesn't the jump from 46 to 68 seem uncomfortable? That's massive. I figure I'm going to stick with 10-56 for my 7321 and Schected and try the 10-52+68 on the LP7. I love the Elixirs that came on my 6, so I figure it's worth the extra $.

Now after seeing how good your Hellraiser looks I need to clean all of my guitars when I restring them. Thanks Drew

[tech] How-to: Fretboard Care

Apparently you didn't read my fretboard care how to thread. Step 3.

And Drew, you don't like the idea of dyeing the fretboard?? I think it makes it look soooo much better.

Awesome conversion to pristine! Very nice looking! 1 Point. HST lived in an era when Ballantine 3 ring ale was about as strong as you could get from the main stream breweries. I had the stuff in the 70's, and it was among the better(only ) choices, along with Yuengling "Lord Chesterfield Ale". No kidding, that stuff was great in the 1970's. And did I mention it was about $5 a case?
We live in the best era for beer EVER in the US!

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

dying the fretboard looks cool on some guitars, for sure. i really like the brown woodgrain of my fretboards, though, to dye them.

I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways,
we could reverse the particle flow through the gate.
We'll cross the streams.
