I've got an epiphone strat laying around (looked up the serial no online and it was made in 1993). I don't really use it much as I prefer my les paul, and I picked it up today and noticed that there are some problems with the electrics.

Although this may have been a better thread for those long cold winter nights it may give us some chuckles to know how we came by our Forum handles. I have played with Big Mac and McGoo and can see why ... just kidding BM... For me a buddy's wife thought my head (brush cut) looked like a...

K, so I took my car in for an oil change, fuel top up, and inspection today, ahead of my drive back to Ottawa. As expected, there were a few things to fix, but most were minor and I don't have the cash to be getting unnecessary repairs. The fuel filter and spark plugs are going, so I will...

I was just wondering, in ontario, how long can an employer keep an employee at work after your scheduled shift. Of course, this is NOT salary and NOT an open ended close like restaurant workers. I was once told that an employer can not force an employee to stay for longer than 15mins. Anyone...
