Wacken Open Wair 2026 was full of Warwicks. Good work, everybody.

Hey. I really like that color combination (brown with black stripe), but I can't find it on couch's website. Do you happen to have a link?

*** are SD "Apollo" pickups?

I actually use the thick, concentrated stuff from CVS (in the US), a bit like toothpaste but thinner. Very easy to handle.

Bleach. Applied for seconds. One step after another.

Dean Markley Nickel Steel Custom Lite (009-046). They are out of business, so I'll place a large order of different strings to pick a new primary. Last time I did that was in the early 1980s. I might bulk buy the remaining stock of the above strings that I can find on the Interwebs.

It's also set neck, not neck-through.

No. I already played guitar and knew what a quality instrument is. Yamaha SX250. Still have it with an EMG pickup.

I love W116 and W126, but those overextended US bumpers are killing them.

The (lack of) dampening of the speaker with disappearing signal is certainly a major factor. Whether emulation, if any, is any good needs to be investigated.

Classic gearslutting. Buy some up to a number of n that you are comfortable with financially and space wise. Buy more on a pne-in-one-out principle, always rotating out what you like least.

Well, in physics you get to reduce vibrations the most when passing from one density material to a material with very different density. Following that the sound change probably is dependent on how different density the two woods involved are.

Everything changes everything.

I'm a diehard "Pixel only" kind of phone user. I want the newest OS with the least third-party modifications. Currently on a Pixel 8 Pro. Some individual Pixel-branded phones had screwups, such as the mentioned battery screwup and my many way split Pixel 3 XL. But the advantages reign for me...

That looks like very complete shielding. You are probably imagining the hum :)
