Re: Ernie Ball Plays a Jag
IN case you don't know who Ernie Ball is, he is the Ernie Ball of super slinky string fame, and also he has a line of guitars.

It's not about the gear! It's about you, your hands, your imagination, your feelings.

Re: Ernie Ball Plays a Jag
Ah, you havent heard swearing until you watch me change the high (expecially B and E) strings on my guitars, when they stab me in the fingertips or slip out.
When I restring my strat , Jag or JM, there is NO swearing because of the nice slotted machine heads which make restringing easy.
But on any other guitar, I have torture.
Last night I restrung my Ovation Deacon 12 and you have to slip the ball end into a slot, and then the other end around the peg and pull them up so they dont slip out and turn the damn
peg, so you need 3 arms and 4 hands and to be a contortionist.
Or else you need to drink alot and not care.
Plus you need bandaids.
BAH

Re: Ernie Ball Plays a Jag
The slinikies are not too bad that way, at least they are flexible enough not to stab always.
