Same pawn shop where i got my Classic 30 for $200 all those years ago... and a VHT Pittbull 100 head for $700, as well as a few other bargains.

That's a gorgeous top. I say pickguard off. I took the guard off my LP Signature T, and added covered Pearly Gates pickups.

Yeah, the Peavey headstock is infinitely better looking than the EVH. The Peavey necks in general feel better than the EVH, but some of that has to do with the fact that they have soaked up my oil and sweat for 20+ years. I will say, the pickups in the EVH may sound a tad better to my ears...

Oh, and hi, everybody.

After a few years of playing nothing but acoustic, a month or so ago I bought a Neural Nano Cortex (damn modeling has come a long way since the Line 6 Pod kidney bean). Anyway, found this at a local pawn shop for next to nothing, and even though I needed another guitar (especially a Wolfgang)...

I've lived in WV my whole life. My grandfather (and most of my great uncles) were coal miners. My v dad and most of my parents generation were coal miners until the 80s. In the 80s, a ton of the deep mines shut down in favor of strip mining, or laid off b union workers and hired non union...

16 years later and I still have the guitar, still haven't made a new pickguard. It's one of maybe 3 or 4 electrics I play. Then again, I play about 95% acoustic nowadays. I do remember when I bought the guitar, I thought I could just take it apart and sell it for parts because I knew the...

Sounds like Nickelback.

Condolences. Sorry for your loss.

I met her last year in the lobby of the hotel I was staying in. She was on her way to a show with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. It was a brief encounter, but she seemed very nice. I said "I am sorry I can't make it to your show tonight" and she said "you should blow off work and come...

You'll have to dig through all my other old videos, but all the Pragestock footage I ever uploaded over the years should be here: https://youtube.com/@prages1975?feature=shared

You sure were. I remember having to punch in about two measures of the guitar part and one note of the vocals about 10 times. I tried to put it on SoundCloud and share it, but it won't let me upload. It says I need to verify the email that was sent to my account when I signed up, and I...

I was laying in a hotel room last night in Charlotte NC (still there tonight), and came across that and all the other stuff we recorded that day. This is one of my favorites we did. I think this was the first time I'd ever attempted to play it. Starts off rough, but turns decent by the end...

Sounds great! Can't understand a damn word out of the singer's mouth, though.
