@TheGreek now you’ve got him really upset - he’ll come round to your house and relic a Stratocaster on your finest China dogs. ** **assuming he was wearing gloves so as not to make actual skin contact with a weedy stringed monstrosity

Adagio on eBay are not super-expensive at around £14 to dip your toe in the water

Well that’s fighting talk 🤭 the man said he needed a kick up the backside, not to be called a worthless egotistical lazy guitard

I have two

EBay “blues tribute” is what I use @Stub Mandreltried it as did @petecarlton

I think of the O in offside as being like the steering wheel so it’s easy

Is Hank Marvin playing a gold hardware strat ? i like b/b/ maple but didn’t know they came with gold

Your English is absolutely fine, I’ve met native born speakers of English who would not get a vocabulary or command of grammar anywhere like yours even if they lived to be 1000. English is complicated, really complicated, as I am learning whilst teaching my children

Not without molegrips

Pacemaker ?

You can use copper tape to hold it down

I recall a feature on U2 in “making music” mag c. 1990 where edge says AC “uses a little compression and nothing else” (then)

And they’ll make you wear silly clothes

Guess that’s why 12 bars are popular …

Hello and welcome back nice sunburst finish perhaps ?

I’m hugely fond of the baseline to “please” very funky

I thought his name was Ken …

Thicker strings are harder to pull so the truss rod needs to exert more force to resist them. Thinner strings are being pulled against the fret board as the truss rod is resisting more than needed. You therefore need to reduce tension on the truss rod I imagine it as a tug of war where a team member leaves on one side - with him the two sides are evenly matched

That is indeed a Mary Kay finish - very hard to do well

Need screwdrivers / Allen keys / feeler guages I also got a steel ruler and an oilstone as it’s wide and abrasive

I learned to do it … it’s easy with help of @Andyjr1515 and some other kind folks - read through and only used an£11 kit from eBay - link is in the thread

Probably overbow given the lighter strings - just release truss rod
