Super-Vee, Double-Locking Vibrato System
1 Comment Published by JD June 25th, 2009 in Innovation, ManufacturersI have an old Floyd bridge and nut from the ’80s, and I was thinking about installing them into a relatively new Road Worn Strat.

My Significant Other has informed me it’s National Pink Day. What the hell does that mean, since when do we celebrate colors?? Can I have the day off? Yeah, my boss is going to go for that! Nonetheless I am going to observe the day the only way I can with a little pink.

Looking for something small with a big sound, head on over to proguitarshop.com and check out the new Mini Love Pedals. They have four to choose from and you can sample the sounds on the site. I like them all but I’m really digging the Pickle Vibe pedal.
Aluminum Guitar Necks and Bodies
0 Comments Published by JD June 21st, 2009 in Custom Builders, Innovation, ManufacturersI’ve been doing a little surfing, looking for a neck for a project I’m about to start, and came across this site.

Look at what I’ve found: 10″ Miniature replicas of some of my favorite players’ guitars. These look very nice, check out the detail on this SRV #1, they actually have strings and knobs, very impressive. Take a look around, I’m betting you’ll find your idol’s guitar.
I simply forgot what this guy can do, amazing!
