T-menace

There's something about ash that appeals to me. It has that top end spike which is very tasteful when one does solos. The last (Smash) TG-1 I tried wasn't ash-bodied so it sounded ordinary, a little above-average, at best. This one TG-1 Lite you see above, has more to offer in terms of tone. It won't give you a serving of sparkling Fender-esque voicings despite its outline mockery of the aforementioned instrument but the ash influences are there for the taking.The price is also very inviting for bargain hunters. The manufacturer has placed this model in its 'old models' reference page implying its halt in production so if you are keen, acting fast a sensible thing to do.

List: $260 @ SV Guitars

Dry (Part 1)

I had my Smash S2 Lite out Saturday night but couldn't bring myself to play it because:
  1. Strings were rusty. I recall not wiping the strings down after play the last time & left the guitar out on the stand.
  2. Fretboard was dry. As seen above, the fretboard became dry rather quickly especially so when the last few days were some of the hottest days this month. This is another proof that, in this climate, we need not restrain ourselves from applying conditioning fluid onto our fretboards as & when the need arises. Remember, we are NOT in the tropics.
A more presentable & healthy looking fretboard after re-conditioning.

A set of GHS .009s in there & it's all play thereafter.
