Teresa’s 40th Birthday gig
Good times last night with the Drop Daddies! Such a fun party.
During our sunset sound check, the HD500X wah pedal freaked out again, same as I reported back in May at our last outdoor gig. So now I’ve confirmed that sunlight at just the wrong angle can definitely interfere with the optical sensor of the HD500X wah pedal. 🙁 I’ll need to figure out a workaround for this, as we play a number of outdoor gigs each year!
Restringing Steinberger Gearless Tuners
My new 2013 Gibson SG Future Tribute has Steinberger gearless tuners.
They look a little goofy, but they’re really easy to re-string, hold their tuning great, and are very easy to tune.
Here are the instructions for restringing:
2013 Gibson SG “Future Tribute”
Continuing a tradition of birthday guitars, I received my new Gibson SG this week. This is the 2013 “Future Tribute” model.
Let’s get one thing out of the way, right up front. “Future Tribute” is one the most ridiculous guitar model names I’ve ever heard.
Seriously, before I even received the guitar, I ordered a replacement truss rod cover blank (Gibson part #PRTR-010), so I won’t have to ever see that all-caps “FUTURE” on my guitar 🙂
Blackhawk Auto Museum Gig
Played a gig with the Drop Daddies at the Blackhawk Auto Museum last night, surrounded by priceless cars. Fun!
Stupid Deal on an SG
These Stupid Deal of the Day messages from Musician’s Friend are dangerous!
I sorta lost my mind a little when I saw this. $499 for a USA Gibson SG?! Ok, I’ll give it a go. MF has a great return policy, so nothing to lose.
On order!
