You have to be careful about buying an Epiphone ES339 as they downgraded the pickups fromm ProBuckers to Alnico Classic Pro this fall. Difference being the Probuckers had an Alnico II magnet where the Classic pro has an Alnico V magnet. A downgrade in my opinion.

Jace on 5 (More) POD HD500 Programming Tips

Great article. Thanks for taking the time to write that. I've had mine for a while and worked out SO many kinks since articles like these did not exist. Very much a beta tester. But as I research I have a question you might help with regarding Pod Live... I've tried using tube amps with diff speaker combinations with no luck. Really. Is this just not a good idea? I've tried it with some mid range PA speakers and it's ok but cannot replace an amp. Do I need to just get the DT head? Seems cheap compared to some real amps. I love the flexibility of the Pod but cant justify the quality of the tone. It needs to feel right to pull off live and be confident int hat sound. I WOULD LOVE SOME HELP WITH THIS> Thanks in advance and hope to hears something!

Those flat plastic binders on the end of bread bags arent just guitar picks anymore! Snap the hole in the middle over your button on guitar & strap and voila - the cheap is good strap lock!

John on Internet Radio Battle Royale: Raditaz vs Pandora

I had no idea Pandora's library was that small. No wonder I keep hearing the same stuff so often. And I rarely find anything new I like anymore. Checking Raditaz out now, thanks.

Freaking retire, really. They wasted their best productive years getting stoned and drunk. It is all rather pathetic now. "Bit off more than they could chew", no doubt. The 80s stuff was marvelously inventive and cool, but in 2012 is merely a cheap parody and mimic of what was.
