So if you are going for tone, why not. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

(EDIT: I just red the link, no need to answer:-D) Oh... now I got an idea... Guitar maker class.. What about Guitar making collaboration?:-D To send a piece of wood from one participant to another, paint it, customize it, vanhalenzie it, dahl it, denisjuk it etc etc. and then put it on Ebay, and from the money we will get, we can buy ourselves a JEM's :-D You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
