I posted two. And there was no uproar, just trag giving his opinion. In any case, why not just listen and decide for yourself?

You posted a list.

Then immediately said something about me being an idiot cause i dont like KOTL and i wouldnt like it, and then trag commented and then you said this:

Strat, have you listened to this yet? I'm actually kind of proud of it and would love to hear your thoughts, but NB that I do regret kicking off an introductory mix with Expressway (aka Madonna, Sean & Me.) I really blew the exploding load there.."

And then i stopped checking the thread.

So, do you have the playlist ready for me to listen to or not?

Yes, and I would still love to hear your thoughts (though I still regret kicking off that first mix with a climactic song.)

Idiot.

Okay so i was completely shocked at a truss rod adjustment. Literally thought it would take a little bit more muscle to CRANK A TRUSS ROD IN A SOLID PIECE OF WOOD.

Goes to show my understanding of guitar build.

That being said: I turned it a lot more than anticipated (tiny turns at a time) and with a few tweaks of the saddle, it seems as though my guitar is ready to sing again.

Im never bringing it to someone else again.

Unless something major....
I just had the opposite experience. Ordered parts and tried to do it myself (interior electrical components). Fail. Dropped it off a Guitar Center for repair today.

By the way here is the POS guitar I am trying to fix. Has not really been touched since the late ‘90s.

This is obviously good advice but there’s something, I dunno, romantic(?) to me about bringing it back to life.

Plus, Wayne Campbell played a Washburn before Vander Hoff sponsored his show and he bought a Strat.

Well, that was unexpected.

Yesterday I traded my Telecaster straight across for this lovely 1988 Rickenbacker 360/6:
