Some things that are pointy - I like them!

I like those new Epiphone Explorers except everyone I have seen has a string alignment problem such that the G string is too close to the edge of the fingerboard. I think they are putting the wrong bridges on them.
You can even see it in this photo.

I've always wanted a banjo tuner for my G string :laugh:
The real question is - do you tune your G string with the aid of a battery operated device, or do you prefer to plug into something on your rack?;)

I myself prefer the battery operated device (snark, snark) its effective and easily concealed when not in use. Besides, my rack is already big and tough enough to lug around without adding more equipment to it. :D

Hey, looky here, a Greco 'Bird



Glad they finally did an Entwistle video, but while this guy is perfect for a lot of the funk and soul videos they've done before, I think he's missing quite a bit stylistically, namely all the triplets and hammer on trills (which he does more as slide trills, which is much more of a funk thing), as well as his quick sliding. Still good though.

Here's him in a more funk/groove oriented setting:

There are inaccuracies in his rendition of "Portrait" as well..
