About
I'm a typical guitar player, modder, builder still in search of those elusive tones, heard only in our heads. Fifty plus years, and only a little closer. I really do thin the herd and part with some classics and custom builds from time to time. Check back often or contact me with any request!

Beast ! No cons what so ever !!!!!!!!!
2 of 2 found this helpful Who-da-thunk ! After playing for 50+ years, thought the Spade would be a good guitar to practice on, Yup, but actually I'll be using her live. Chuck gives a rather complete description of the pros and cons, but in reality there are more pluses. Build quality is excellent, from the fret work to the hardware. It's really stable, and didn't take long to get used to the feel (gotta stop tryin' to fine tune the invisible tuners on the headstock though).Only needed some minor set up tweeks right out of the box (neck was arrow straight, needed some relief for my style) Even though it has the "dime" pots, the cavity is shielded, the pups are well balanced and can roar ! As primarily a Strat player, love the scale on this, and the ability to get vintage bucker tones without switching guitars. Time will tell if it holds up to my abuse, but so far I'm very impressed. Some say it's weird or ugly, but so am I. I anticipate a lot of questions when folks hear her.

Cheap but effective for light use.
Not the highest quality but gets you in the ballpark for identifying values. The supplied probes are very sketchy but using the meter directly on loose components is fairly accurate, especially at the price of this unit.

Does the trick
The mute stops most of the transfer from the bridge to the banjos head quite well for more quiet practice as expected. The resultant tone is very mellow and opens up your playing to different tonal possibilities. Well worth trying, and beats stuffing the resonator!
