I find that the magnification can help with spotting bad solder joints. On my most recent build I noticed that a few of the joints looked great, but then with magnification they definitely looked cold, so I reflowed them.

Those double stops do look tricky! I will definitely try to attempt that first lick later today. Looks like it would be good double stop, bending, and sliding practice lick. Also it's a Tim Pierce video! He's one of my favorite guitar youtubers.

Started learning the Kid Charlemagne solo by ear last night because your post reminded me that Steely Dan exists. It's definitely a cool solo. I might look back to see what your song and album recommendations are for people wanting to see if they like Steely Dan.

April 1st.

I play/practice 1-4 hours daily. I do quite a lot of things. Many times I default to pentatonic blues licks just because. I normally only will do that for half an hour at the most. Recently I have been using the major pentatonic and major scale and then transitioning to the minor pentatonic and...

Nice build! Where did you get those fancy cables? They look pretty cool.

If you have to have an epi es 335.

Just try to get a deal on the es 335 traditional pro at guitar center. I played one and it sounds good and plays well. It goes on sale for 450 sometimes. And it also has some cool color choices.

You might have a better chance of success if you build a somewhat simpler circuit. Won't have to worry about so many components that you have to keep track of.

Yup, I'm getting that too.

I would honestly just try guitars out. Don't worry to much about specs. I researched electric guitars for months and looked at specs and everything and my mind was dead set on a epi les paul. Walked into a music store and looked at a Gretsch Dual Jet of all guitars. Gretsch guitars are already...

I need this in my life.

Hmm. I was going grocery shopping and I saw this. I have so many questions.

Thanks for the info. I edited the original comment.
