The great Bill Withers, born today in 1938. “I was a chronic stutterer until I was twenty-eight,” he once said. “I wasn’t this popular guy. .. I would have girls tell me, ‘You’re too nice.’ .. Women like bad boys, I guess. .. ‘Use Me’ taps into that. .. You all want a nasty boy? Well here I come.”

Well that's pretty special. Copying a guild so much that you put a truss rod cover over nothing. Drew's Guitar Shop Seattle Guitar Repair www.drewsguitarshop.com

Today's guitar belongs to a dear friend who has kindly let me borrow it for a few days. It's a 1930’s Epiphone Masterbilt Apollo which his dad played in dance bands during the 30s, 40s and so on. If wood could talk - imagine the stories this guitar could tell. #guitarsky #guitar #epiphonemasterbilt

America is the land of freedom & opportunity but she is not without her faults. Springsteen has not lowered his voice when criticized for loving his country enough to speak up against wrongs committed in her name. We can love our home & flag while calling out those who pervert our symbols. 🇺🇸

I AGREE!!!

I needed cheering up so I bought a Chinese copy of a 59 Les Paul guitar and some genuine Les Paul '59 Clone Vintage P.A.F. Humbucker pickup's and a wiring upgrade to turn it in to a rock monster. Gotta do something for fun 😂🙂

Every decal on this road-worn case tells a story. It belongs to my first ever e-guitar, a LP style Hondo I bought in 1979. It is the only case I’ll ever put stickers on. #GuitarSky

Todays guitar tweaks. Series/Parallel switching for humbuckers. A 4PDT mini toggle and an hour or so with a soldering iron is all it took. Why do it? Why not? Parallel mode is more than coil split so it's an interesting option to have. #guitar #guitarwiring #differentsounds
