Love the sound of a good Strat with .07's or .08's on it, but a Tele with good .08's or .09's has that melted butter sound. You boil your strings before putting them on just before that first stretch? Hot out of then pan, wipe it down, put it on, tune it quick, next string? Does that really make a difference? I'm not sure, but I tried to make it a practice and it took the maintenance time up there, and you've gotta wipe down the stove afterwards too. I don't know if it really made a difference or not. Once you start bending them things, the'll always need to be retuned, and retuned, and retuned until...pop at the most inopportune moment to have to cause one to improvise. I don't remember whose idea boiling the strings was...Roy Clark...Ron Woods...Alex Lifeson? I forget, but pretty sure it wasn't Ernie Ball, and am pretty sure that Keith Richards was never sober enough to think of that or much else.
When I was stationed in Germany, I remember giving a friend a '57 mohogany Les Paul because he had a wife and daughter over there with him and another on the way, so he couldn't afford one, and played it better than me. He deserved it as a gift, and besides, I had more axes setting off in the wings. Would like to have that one back, but what is...is. Made all parties involved happy at the time, and I guess that's what counts. Unplugged from an amp he played Nancy Wilson's "Silverheels" as good as she did with her worn out acoustic that had a huge hole in it, and I guess that was the deciding factor of..."Keep it Rich, its yours now". Made his expecting wife cry...in a good way, I hope. I left Germany, and don't know what happened to them or that Les Paul. Grin.

Today's Featured Article - An AC Model M Crawler - by Anthony West. Neil Atkins is a man in his late thirties, a mild and patient character who talks fondly of his farming heritage. He farms around a hundred and fifty acres of arable land, in a village called Southam, located just outside Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
