Yeah those repairs are nuts
Some dude on Facebook is sending me an rg7620 body for free. I've already got some 7 string pickups. Id just need to find a neck and edge 7 trem and have a full guitar. It's s good chance to really have a project guitar and try some stuff. Was thinking about stripping it and oiling it like this.

That's a beautiful finish. Always really liked wood grain finishes on modern body guitars.

I watch Rigrundowns from premierguitar and shit like this all day haha, butNoodleface , about amazing luthiers and broken headstocks, this video is porn, I'm amazed at the craft of the dude, the sophistication (the Joe dude), the way he takes his job serious. It has it all.
Dweezel is pretty awesome guy, saw him back in like 91ish. Kinda like the little Fender G-DEC 30 he was sporting for living room amp

HUge Zappa fan, so yeah agreed. Dweezil is pretty cool. Ahmet and Moon Unit jumped the shark as their father would say, bet he is turning in his grave. Imagine your brother suig you for using the name your father gave you. Whole thing is one big mess. Remnants from Gail's jealousy and anger over franks many groupies. ah well, sad.
One of my fav of Zappa's is aposthrophe, the tones achieved on that record was thru a pignose practice amp, i love the guitar tones on the whole record.

When I was in school at Berklee, I found some of Steve Vai's tests and some other stuff he had done. Part of my financial aid had me being a lackey for the guitar department. During one summer session I ended up refiling everything starting in the late 70's. He had a lot of stuff to browse through which of all I went through finding some of his transcriptions for Zappa was by far the best stuff I came across. Some of my teachers would talk about teaching him once and awhile, back when he was there it was still a pretty strictly jazz school so he would put up paper to block the sound proof booth window, lol.

Do you do guitar professionally or anything? Always wonder about Berklee grads.
One of my favorite metal bands is Revocation, which has Dave Davidson who graduated from Berklee. Insane player.

I have a friend who went to Berklee and does lots of session work. I know another guy who went to berklee and is an IT dude. He's a bass player and I got him to play some shit one time and he was pretty amazing. He said he barely ever plays though which I think is a shame, but to each his own.

Guitar was my instrument focus but I actually went for a film scoring degree. Once I finished I ran a studio for a few years then got a tech job at Google and haven't really done much since then.

Damn that's awesome. I ALMOST went to Berklee. Glad I didn't, I'm not creative enough, but it would've been cool. Everyone I know that graduated there are insane at guitar. You must be pretty good.

The first drummer in this band I was in for a few years went to Berklee for drums and audio engineering I think. Kind of a weird dude but pretty damn good.

not much actual playing but lots of cool insight into the new album and his style/approach in general.

Any experience with cheaper amps probably a solid state I could use at the house now? My fender tube amp is entirely too loud for where I live now. Way loud. It was never an issue where I lived before. Tired of playing with headphones. Any experience on something like that? I play really clean most of the time. No to little gain.

I dunno. Don't really want to spend much on just a practice amp when I have a Fender TDexlue Reverb. But I can't get any combination of amp volume and guitar volume that doesn't start at "pretty loud" and go to obniously lous in the small space I'm in now. Never had the issue before and I've had it for years and years.

Can’t you just get one of those Volume pedals? Most use them To get the cranked tube amp sound at bedroom volumes.
