Glen Campbell: Ghost On The Canvas

Posted on October 13, 2011 (April 3, 2017) by Billy Penn

Cool album alert! Glen Campbell’s “Ghost On The Canvas” is awesome! I have to admit I’m a Glen Campbell fan from way back. I can remember my grandfather listening to him in the early 70’s in his Oldsmobile Delta 88 with 455 Rocket engine on 8-track. Witchita Lineman, Galveston, By The Time I Get To […]

KTS Titanium Saddles For A Gibson Les Paul Guitar

Posted on October 11, 2011 (April 3, 2017) by Billy Penn

Ron Banas from the band Lone Shark brought me his Gibson Les Paul for some TLC. The small notches in each saddle were worn and it was time for some new ones. Ron says he plays this guitar every single day. Who wouldn’t, it’s a really cool guitar. The neck is nice and chunky and […]

Posted on October 5, 2011 (April 3, 2017) by Billy Penn

My good friend John Fabian gave me this little 1950 Fender Champion 600 amp to restore. The amp has all the original electronic components, except the AC power cord. Obviously the grill and handle are not original and it’s missing it’s “skin”. During the coming weeks I will be posting from time to time the […]

Gorgomyte Is GOOD!!!

Posted on September 27, 2011 (April 3, 2017) by Billy Penn

I made a post a few weeks back about this product called Gorgomyte. Just to recap, Gorgomyte is a fret cleaner and fretboard conditioner. The product is basically a chamois-like cloth treated with a special chemical that does all the cleaning and conditioning. It’s really easy to use, safe for all types of fretboards and […]

From the Bench: New Nut For A Guild D-55

Posted on September 21, 2011 (April 3, 2017) by Billy Penn

A quick one from the bench. New bone nut for a 1970’s Guild D-55NT. A really nice guitar. Also needed a saddle too. Now this guitar sounds and plays really nice. Because the saddle and nut are made of bone the guitar has more sustain and more harmonic content to it’s sound. Big difference from […]
