I read that also, in guitarist mag many years ago

Ooh - pass me popcorn RIGHT now

Wood expands and contracts - paint cracks off. I did my research looking at a lot of old fenders and looked at the way the grain sat in mine

That’s not what Steve Vai says

To clarify, “some good awful lot rubbish” cant that be said of any genre ?

Could that not be said of any genre ?

Three years to a higher court is actually pretty good going

see my mod, you don't need to get the hang of anything except putting the pin in the right way

but the OP describes the problems he had from doing this. If you try my modification, those are alleviated

no, the House Of Lords judgement allowed only future royalty claims. Their decision on the delay in bringing a claim was found on the fact that no harm had been caused to the defendant because the complainant had take so long to act and that in the contrary, the defendant has been benefited in that time by a full share of the royalties. The loss due to delay fell only on the claimant

yes, as long as you can prove co -authorship you can take as long as you like to claim, but don't ask for back royalties, only future shares are allowed. I do not honestly think that is fair, but their Lordships were unanimous in the House Of Lords judgement. It might be fairer to allow back royalties at some reduced rate to allow for declining future royalties

The original sole beneficiary (A) has had all the benefit already that rightly belonged to someone else (the now-joint beneficary (ies) B) , should A be be allowed to keep it, or its proceeds ? That does not sound like justice. The complainant B has gone out on a financial limb to get what he believes to be a rightful share, and had convinced a court who have agreed that B has been short changed. If A is allowed to keep 10m£ when he only rightly deserved to get £5m that is unfair. B should be put into the place where they would have been . If A has to sell a yacht to achieve that so be it.

i honestly never thought he was an admirable at all.

It’s poly people usually just scratch away at the body and forget about the neck. I rounded the neck off using a metal bar and flaked some lacquer the front by the 20th fret and on the fretboard edges you can get an old look immediately by just rubbing away at the body with a fresh dish sponge (green side) and matting down the paint a bit. Rub a bit harder where your hand would rub or the strap would rub. The key is to think about it a bit and take it in gentle stages rather than to go all out with a belt sander

this was my effort

I did my own, got a generally favourable response on here its not rocket science honestly

I enjoyed that, and I found Lenny very engaging.

Tina Weymouth is God.

I’ll watch that today

Just use a Stanley knife - 45 degrees works

Maybe she can’t play much due to health ? She’s in her 70s watched bass and drums - waiting for guitar one

Sadly i have no whisky but enjoy yourselves 🍺

I might even watch the guitar one. I watched a clip of the drums one and that Sheila E is a good drummer and hot...

I would not sniff at it a ready made audience that knows the songs and you know are going to be up for it if you do a good job. What’s not to like ? It’s better than starting mustang sally and trusting to luck
