So many guitars, so little talent: June 2011

http://spongeoffun.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

So many guitars, so little talent. I've got a lot of guitars and spend more time dicking around with them than playing them. Sad really. Wednesday, June 8, 2011. Would you mind not shooting at the thermonuclear weapons? There's something very very serious about aluminium flightcases. I feel like I should be using it to house a nuclear bomb, complete with flashing lights and a button that should never ever be pushed, not my old EC29. As opposed to the man who made Battlefield Earth. Tuesday, June 7, 2011.

So many guitars, so little talent: Gibson #2 - 'SG Gothic II'

http://spongeoffun.blogspot.com/2011/05/gibson-2-sg-gothic-ii.html

So many guitars, so little talent. I've got a lot of guitars and spend more time dicking around with them than playing them. Sad really. Monday, May 30, 2011. Gibson #2 - 'SG Gothic II'. So black your eyes kind of slide off it.". This isn't just internet speculation from peering at a screen, I've been looking at SGs in the flesh and while I normally like satin finish guitars I really don't like the 'worn' and 'faded' ones. Oh and then there are lots of fakes around. So with a bit of a rethink I started l...

So many guitars, so little talent: Sacrifice the Virgin

http://spongeoffun.blogspot.com/2011/07/sacrifice-virgin.html

So many guitars, so little talent. I've got a lot of guitars and spend more time dicking around with them than playing them. Sad really. Sunday, July 3, 2011. I just couldn't resist that post title. Last month I bought this BC Rich Virgin. To remove the Speedloader bridge from and today I finally got round to it. This means I had to make another puller which can use the actual studs themselves to pull the bushes out. It'll come in useful occasionally when I find something with an odd thread. When I'll fi...

So many guitars, so little talent: November 2011

http://spongeoffun.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

So many guitars, so little talent. I've got a lot of guitars and spend more time dicking around with them than playing them. Sad really. Wednesday, November 30, 2011. Kinda shameful Mr Juszkiewicz. Here it is, the aforementioned shonky Gibson gig bag. This really is a shameful piece of tat, the only one I have worse than this is a black vinyl thing from the 80s that came with something I bought. I know that SG studios are cheap but they'd be better not giving you anything in my opinion. Indie #7 - 'Desig...

So many guitars, so little talent: September 2011

http://spongeoffun.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

So many guitars, so little talent. I've got a lot of guitars and spend more time dicking around with them than playing them. Sad really. Tuesday, September 6, 2011. So, I used the jig I made ages ago for the Mockingbird and ground down the nut shelf on the RS10V. Nothing very exciting to look at but it's made the guitar much nicer to play. I may need to go back later and shave it a little more but it'll do for now. It's still very 'tinny' sounding though. Sunday, September 4, 2011. It's now properly play...

So many guitars, so little talent: March 2011

http://spongeoffun.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

So many guitars, so little talent. I've got a lot of guitars and spend more time dicking around with them than playing them. Sad really. Sunday, March 20, 2011. What I did on my holidays. It's been quiet here for a month but then again I do have a good excuse, I've been on holiday in NZ for three weeks. A friend was getting married and it's so far away that if you're going to go you need to make it a long trip. And Amplug. Lots of people might go to NZ to do active outdoors stuff I was going to relax.

So many guitars, so little talent: Wear your ply with pride pt. 16

http://spongeoffun.blogspot.com/2011/01/wear-your-ply-with-pride-pt-16.html

So many guitars, so little talent. I've got a lot of guitars and spend more time dicking around with them than playing them. Sad really. Monday, January 24, 2011. Wear your ply with pride pt. 16. Finally I've finished this project. It was a bit of struggle at times, but I do this as a learning exercise. If I just wanted a nice wood finish Rhoads I could have bought one. Well, assuming I could find one, Jackson don't actually make one in a plain wood finish. I made the humbucker coil split so you can sele...

So many guitars, so little talent: Gibson #3 - SG Raw Power

http://spongeoffun.blogspot.com/2011/10/gibson-3-sg-raw-power.html

So many guitars, so little talent. I've got a lot of guitars and spend more time dicking around with them than playing them. Sad really. Sunday, October 30, 2011. Gibson #3 - SG Raw Power. The polar opposite of my Gothic SG. Maple body, neck and fretboard, classic '57 pickups, Klusons etc. etc. vs Mahogany body and neck with ebony fretboard, EMGs, Grovers and so on. Plays very nicely, does the usual twin humbucker Gibson thing, but with a much brighter more airy tone. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

So many guitars, so little talent: My first custom guitar?

http://spongeoffun.blogspot.com/2011/08/my-first-custom-guitar.html

So many guitars, so little talent. I've got a lot of guitars and spend more time dicking around with them than playing them. Sad really. Tuesday, August 23, 2011. My first custom guitar? All this modding has to lead up to making something of my own. Or at least partly my own. After all if I do that I won't have to sand what feels like inches of hard finish off before I can put a finish of my own on. Some time ago I bought these two flying V Bubinga tops from the guy who runs Eve Guitars. Looking at it I ...
