Why I still use RAR instead of 7z
Nerdy computer crap time.
Long ago back in the days before the modern internet when most people used 486 PCs (or maybe a PC with a Pentium if you were fancy), I used BBSes. And pretty much every BBS had a files area where you could upload or download stuff. The vast majority of that stuff was in archive files.
First it started with ZIP files, then LHA and then finally ARJ before the BBS fell out of favor with the masses once internet came around.
Even though ARJ was vastly superior compared to more or less everything else at the time, ZIP became popular again because of Windows. Specifically, it was Windows XP because that OS and every Windows since has native support to extract ZIP archive files where you can just double-click on one to open it up.
Guitar case options for the Jaguar and Jazzmaster
If you just bought a Jazzmaster or Jaguar or already own one, unless you have a case with some extra vertical length, you'll notice the one you have will fit a Strat or Tele, but not the offset body guitars.
The Jag/Jazz's extra length means you have to buy a longer bag or case. If you've shopped around, you've probably noticed some fairly high prices.
Fortunately, you have a few cheaper options.
Adventures with strings on a short scale bass guitar
When you watch this video, you'll say to yourself, "Hey, that's sounds pretty good!"
Yeah, it sounds good now. But to get it sounding good wasn't easy. Actually, that's not true. It was easy once what made it sound bad was figured out.
How cheap can you go to get almost every classic Fender design?
A big decision concerning guitar buying is how a guitar looks. Does it influence my guitar purchases? You bet it does. The finish color matters to me as does the logo treatment.
Everything you ever wanted to know about a Bigsby vibrato system
For a really long time you didn't see too many new guitars out there with Bigsby vibrato systems on them. But given the fact that since 2012 there have been a lot of older designs reimagined into new guitar offerings (like the Squier Cabronita Telecaster with Bigsby), we've been seeing Bigsby vibratos making a comeback of sorts.
