That's a Fender P with rounds played with a pic, no wonder it sounds good.

That's a sexy P!

20 years playing and broke a string only once playing, luckily at home, with my 32" Yamaha. I did break a few more, but always installing USED strings, they tend to break at the tuning machines.

Two completely different instruments... ---> two amps!!! :thumbsup:

Ehm.... You can try doing that at home!! Like I said before it just works, close the book!

It's plain simple: if you want to get rid of the book (and you should!), just close the book. It works and it's the only way. If you want to get it even better try playing those memorized tunes in 12 keys, then you'll really know the changes and be able to play music freely, interact with your...

I preffer the old bridges...
