Just used this to clean my SG and strat:

Fantastic.

Like new baby! Now all i need to do is learn how to fix intonation issues. Maybe some day.

However, anyone know how to do a similar deep clean to the maple neck? Specifically the 52 tele reissue butter scotch blonde maple neck?

I usually just scrub with my fingernails and some cloth but i loved being able to apply thse cleaners to the strat and was wondering if there was something similar as the lemon oil apparently isn't safe.

This is a lot easier than you think it is. The saddle is just making the string longer or shorter. The same thing you do when you fret a note. Get open and 12th fret to be at the same pitch. Done.

Feels like its something htat needs to get setup everytime i get my guitar taken care of. Is that just by nature of the slow warping of a neck?

When does the truss rod come into play?

Wood changes with the weather. Listen to Joe Walsh. He'll tell you all you need to know.

Gets fantastic reviews and sounds like it will do exactly what i need.

I absolutely love my Marshall SVC 20 but at 5 watts its still so fucking loud. I dont really ever get the chance to turn it up and enjoy those sweet spots.


Have you considered the Torpedo Captor? It's main function is as a reactive load box for silent recording or as a DI to FOH....but it does also have a -20db attenuator in it. It might check a couple of boxes for you.

Ha. i've been GASing over a captor for years now. I've got access to a ton of great amp sims, free and paid but there's just something so tempting about being able to record my actual amps that excites me.

this is a random gearhead thought....i spend a lot of time looking at real estate on line in different cities..pretty much since covid came along i see a lot of
guitars in the pictures on real estate sites...hanging on the wall or just on a couch..do you think people wanted to learn to play or just want pics to look cool and use them
as wall art?

Bit of both. Acoustics and semi-acoustics just look fantastic. Also maybe the potential buyer will think "yeah I've always wanted to learn guitar/develop a personality".

i think the bots know you check guitar sites and they upload a guitar on the wall there

when i go to the same listing, the bots put up pictures of donuts
