Fun with new camera

[Mario8672]

I got a new camera today, and I decided to take pictures of some of my gear. Enjoy. :P

Looking at those first 2 quickly made me think you had a Jackson Les Paul
for a second there

I should reverse the order.

HORRIBLE. Why would you even waste our time with this?








Kidding ^_^ Nice gear and nice camera, I like...

[Special-K]

They are old strings so I wanted to see how it felt when I put them around the stop tail, and only the E and A had enough excess string to be rewound. When I buy new strings, they'll all go around the stoptail.

What benefit is there in wrapping them around the stoptail?

[Mario8672]

It makes the scale length longer, easier for bending, holds tunings better, etc. Zakk Wylde, and Jimmy Page do it. (lots other as well)

[Number Of The Priest]

It makes the scale length longer,

Sorry, scale length is measured purely between the distance from the nut to the saddles, not by what you do to strings beyond these two contact points. Changing the scale length is probably a modification not even Dr Newcenstein would imagine as it would involve moving the frets themselves.

You need fretboard oil..... NOW!

[Mario8672]

yea, I was planning on alcoholing/lemon oiling it up this weekend.

Ah, thanks for pointing that out . It does make bends easier. :P
