Two or three years ago I took in a box full of pedals to my local GC to trade. I don’t guess it was quite a box full, but it was 7 or 8. It was by and large a bunch of Klones and TS-type that I had never used after I tried them out …

I WON!!
So I won the lottery this year. But it’s not like I get to retire. Every year since whenever it was they started them (like 2012 or whenever it was), I have tried to get in on the Premier Guitar Mystery Stocking deal. For me, it’s a fun little thing to do. I send them …
Black Friday Deals
There are a LOT of Black Friday deals out there. And, since T-day isn’t even until next week, there are more of them coming. I almost always end up picking something new up between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Most of the time, it’s the Cyber Monday deals that get me. This year, I’ve already …
Mexico Finally Did It
I’ve seen folks wonder when it was going to happen, and it looks like it has finally did. The Buck Owens Telecaster, which is a good looking guitar if I should say so myself, is a MIM Tele, and it costs $2,000. I remember his Tele. I was a kid, it was a Saturday night, …
Am I a Nobel guitar player?
Every time I hear someone play an ODR-1, I dig it. It’s just a really good sounding pedal! I had somehow missed until a couple years ago that it was something of a Nashville staple pedal. Back in like 2021, I had a guitar buddy that had one, and he loaned it to me. I …
Squier vs Fender
I have several Squiers. I have several Fenders. They’re both good companies. They both make good guitars. Brief history. My most recent Squier and my most recent Fender have both been Telecasters. And both were purple. One was a Squier Classic Vibe 50s Tele. The other was a Fender Road Worn 50s Tele. I had …
Cheap OD Addiction
I have a problem with buying cheap ODs. I have a drawer full of them. Actually like 2 drawers full of them. 2 drawers with like 40 pedals each. Suddenly I feel like I need to qualify that last statement. I also have my “good” OD pedals too. In fact, I currently have 2 boards …
My New Epiphone ES-355 – After 6 Weeks with It
I’ve had that Epiphone 1959 ES-355 for about 6 weeks now. In fact, I think it was an even 6 weeks yesterday. I think that’s plenty of time to get past the honeymoon period with it and be a little more objective about what I do and don’t like about it. So here’s my 6-week …

I Like Big Necks
I recently changed jobs. Same company, but going back to a little more technical role than I’ve had the last few years. I mentioned a few weeks ago that there was a new guitar out that I wanted and gave several of the reasons I wanted it. Mrs Snarf told me maybe I needed a …
Reverb Jackwagons
Now I know I’ve been guilty of this too, but, as soon as I realize I am, I stop. And, I try to be honest with myself from the beginning about it. Yes, I am talking about the “I know what I’ve got” people. I was reminded of them today. I was surfing Reverb as …
