Rest in Peace Bob!

I’m close enough to El Paso, to go pick it up, just need $17,950 and two tanks of gas for the round trip.

A '58 Fender 400 that's been setup to be a player and looks like it's been played half to death, so it still has another 60 years left on it.

I was just looking at some of my old papers and trying to trace my music history and thought it'd be nice to see where some of the older pickers were playing a half century or so ago and also if you r ...

I know it's unhip to say, but call me a Strat guy!

They have treatment centers, and medication for that, if you ever want to be "hip".

I've watched the scene a few times, and from what I can tell it's a standard base model 0-16. You can buy those for $1500 if you look around, or pay top dollar for one in good shape for about $3500. I ...

Here is a cell phone video from the show. No autotune, he is a bit off pitch in spots, but this is his last time singing on stage and he's getting choked up.

The plan is, for now, that the cheaper Asian-built guitars will still be produced.

My favorite song changes every 3.5 minutes.

You guys are right it's the 6th string, don't know why I said 3rd.

Ken, I seem to remember Paul saying he has a change that moves the G# (3rd string) up to a B, and another change that drops it to an E. So using the combination of those two changes he can move a note ...
