    A broken string is not a lot better than no string.....

    Restringing takes ages and will ruin your whole evening. Best just ignore that guitar and play another one
    Actually I love spending an evening cleaning up and restringing a guitar, it's oddly therapeutic. Although not as therapeutic as buying a new guitar with new strings though!

    My boss told me "dress for the job you want, not the job you have"... now I'm sat in a disciplinary meeting dressed as Batman.

    Stratocasters are for thin people and Telecasters are for fat people.

    That should so be the other way round given the cutouts for beer belly and fat bingo wings...

    Oh, and the fact that offsets are for people with one leg shorter than the other

    Guitars make you attractive to the opposite sex.
    Never worked for me either.

    "Gibson" on the headstock is better than "Maybach".

    :)

    I challenged myself recently. By using the middle position on a Les Paul for playing with distortion. I turned both my drive pedals on and got a lovely Sabbath-esque tone that sat really well in the mix. Before I only ever used the bridge.

    From what I can gather from Maybach's website, they don't appear to have headstocks.

    Strats should never be fitted with a bridge humbucker.
    Strats should always be fitted with a bridge humbucker :) Use a Telecaster for that twang sound.

    The knobs on effects pedals such line up in some way, usually all pointing exactly the same way( possibly all at noon) or all towards the LED.
