Will start assembly tomorrow.Chris, in this context, what is "burnishing"? I guess I always thought of "burnishing" as another word for "polishing"

Generically, burnishing does not remove material while polishing does.Dudley wrote: Mon Sep 29, 2025 9:02 am Chris, in this context, what is "burnishing"? I guess I always thought of "burnishing" as another word for "polishing"

Since this was a "fly-in" deal for 60% of the band, we used a bunch of gear that the Montano contingent owns. Orion (lead singer/guitarman) has a nice amount of guitars and after some sampling while practicing, Andy (other guitarman) landed on O's Powers "Type A" for this run of gigs. He's usually a Jazzmaster guy, which is 100% of what he's playing on the record linked above. The Powers is nice! It's expensive!

If I can talk any of you into watching this, I think it is a genuinely good chat with my pal Frank Falbo. Frank is Steve Stevens' full time tech (whom I have subbed for occasionally), as well as having spent time on the road with the Deftones.
He is also a Chicago native, a very nice guy, and the designer of the P Rails and Fishman Fluence pickup system.

That it is! I didn't expect to see it in more 'diy' type circles. I CAN say that every single part of it save for like, the tuners & pots are made in our shop (the pickups, all the vibrato parts, even the knobs). I'm technically 'part' of it ,but I don't do much on it except help spec parts, sign documents ... boring parts.four_oclocker_2.2 wrote: Mon Sep 29, 2025 6:19 pmYo!

Those circles are all now middle-aged with jobs (some very lucrative).

I also wonder how many of the EGC crew might move to something like this considering the Denison "endorsement." They're the same price as a new EGC without the bonkers wait time and they weigh like, 5 pounds.Dr Tony Balls wrote: Thu Oct 02, 2025 9:03 amThose circles are all now middle-aged with jobs (some very lucrative).
Getting back on-track - JURY, what's on the bench now?

Absolutely - but I'll usually still see them playing fucked up jazzmasters and starting ICEPower threadsDr Tony Balls wrote: Thu Oct 02, 2025 9:03 amThose circles are all now middle-aged with jobs (some very lucrative).

Fascinating cat, this guy. After watching I sought out some recent footage of Billy Idol live. Those old guys seem to put on a pretty great rock show!c jury wrote: Wed Oct 01, 2025 1:52 pm If I can talk any of you into watching this, I think it is a genuinely good chat with my pal Frank Falbo.
