SHAPING SOUND
Came across this video last week. Where you place your equalizer, which type of equalizer, graphic or pentatonic, you use, and even putting multiple equalizers in different parts of your signal chain, actually make a huge difference. I'm going to give it a whirl and see for myself.

One thing I've learned is that if I put an EQ AFTER a compressor, I have more control over the tone. If I put an EQ BEFORE the compressor, cuts can end up getting amplified and boosts might not boost what I wanted. Of course, everything is dependent on the program material and the compression settings; and then you have multi band compressors, etc. Nonetheless, if you're new to compressors for guitar rigs and/or recording, EQ after compression will be more intuitive.

MULTI-SCALE (FANNED-FRET) GUITARS
I cannot remember where I saw one, but I recently saw a guitar with angled frets somewhere on the internet. It looked interesting, so I did a little research. The correct name for such a guitar is a multi-scale or fanned-fret guitar. The big benefits of a multi-scale guitar seem to be expanded tonal range, improved string tension, better intonation for lower (downtuned) tunings, and improved playing ergonomics. They seem to be made mostly as 7- or 8-string guitars. Surprisingly, at least to me, a lot of them are headless guitars. This article is an excellent introduction to multi-scale or fanned-fret guitars. It's got me intrigued. So much so that I'm considering either buying one (such as this Schecter, this Ibanez, this Jackson, or this Jackson) or building one (this kit) with all the necessary hardware and pickup improvements.

Gear acquisition syndrome
New Jake E Lee Blueburst. Help talk me out of it. I have the white one. I have no need for this one, but… I can’t eat, I can’t sleep. I can’t focus at work. I can only think of her. Even while playing guitar, I look down hoping to see blue burst. I need your help!

Maintenance
When it’s maintenance time what’s your preference? Luthier do all the repairs/maintenance or do you diy it? I prefer the luthier to a lot of the stuff but I’ll restring/tune my own bass.

I've always changed my strings, polishing the guitar when I do so. But, after a local guitar shop closed, I had to start doing almost everything else, as well. I've become fairly adept with the electronics - it's no big deal to swap out pickups or add a push/pull pot for coil splitting. Woodworking, on the other hand, is not my strength! If I fry a pot with the soldering iron, it's no big deal to swap it out. But if I mess up with a router or a drill, it could leave a nasty scar, maybe even affecting the guitar's playability. For a couple of mods, I found an amateur luthier with access to a CNC machine :-)
