It's nice to have them hardware painted in gold eh Incidents Happen? Makes them pretty much more longer lasting. Now, i don't know much about whether differences in karat produce slight differences on the sound produced in the guitar. What I know is that the thickness of the plating seem to produce a very subtle difference in the tone. i own an epi guitar. epi guitars are notorious for cheap hardware. altough i replaced them with real gibsons recently, when i got some money from them xmas gigs, i had my covers gold plated with 10k gold. i don't know if other people have experienced this, but my guitar sounded to sound a lil' brighter than usual which is what i like.

Speaking of guitars, remember our lil talk about getting single coil sounds from a humbucker, i found out that it is also possible to have phase capabilities besides single coil sounds usings a varitone switch! My luthier showed me this mod that he did on a varitone switch and i'm shock that you can do out of phase sounds. I'm also very suprised about the single coil sounds- it's pretty good- you can get a strat and tele sounds! only problem is, it's more expensive- but atleast i only have to put one extra hole in the guitar plus it's more aesthetically appealing than switches don't you think?
"Lets see… well I play the guitar and when I'm not playing the guitar, I think about playing the guitar. My other favorite instrument, is the guitar and if I aspired to play any other instrument, it would be the guitar...
I can’t sing so I sing through my guitar. So when the sound guy says: “Your guitar is too loud!” I think: "Why does he never say that to the vocalist?"
