- I was in a punk band in the early 90's and our guitarist had that Pink Steve Vai Jem with the grip. It was so uncool at the time but now I think back and thinkfooler
- it was the punkest thing we did.fooler
- Yeah Ibanez was more for hair metal back in the dayok_not_ok
- Hair metal and Alex Skolnik. I think all of his axes in the '80s and '90s were Ibanez.
And Alex Skolnik is waaaaay better than hair metal.Continuity - Dave Navarro played Ibanez when in early Jane's. That mattered to me back thenstoplying

- The Santo & Johnny original (I think the lead was a pedal steel, which only Beck could mimic so naturally) is an exotica classic, well worth a listen.NonEntity

- I use fret doctor for my fret boards. It naturally darkens them and seems to stay in longer/better than linseed oil or other fretboard oilsSteveJobs
- My finger oils do the job. I used lemon oil once, but it smelled like shite, so I didn't do it anymore.section_014

Does anyone know how to remedy string wobble? I have a Strat that recently had new pickups installed, and about a month ago the E & A strings are making a phasing/wobbling sound (when played while not being plugged in). My research has found that it's due to the pickups being too close but curious if anyone else has a take on it. Thanks in advance.
- Strats are pretty notorious for unwanted modulation. But that's usually on the B and high E under the 10th fret. Could you just lower the pickups and check?section_014
- Yeah I have a bit, but not sure how low I can go with them. Flush with the body?stoplying
- Adjust PU height while plugged in. Keep adjusting the height until u find that sweet spot.ok_not_ok

- I want a Flying V, but I could never live up to it. Its just so damn cool and commands respect and skill.desmo
- My friend sings very mellow folk type music and she uses one. Its so not a folky guitar but she pulls it off!fooler
- lovely but odd video and odd that they've aged them to look like the original 50 years later... he only had the v a year from new before he died :-/kingsteven
- Yeah, I guess he's more known for his Strat.fooler
