Some days you chase the idea, some days it finds you. Today was a good one. Working on new original material — more soon. Im also really digging the tonez from my custom wound exact spec 59 pickup.

Any Ozzy Osbourne fans out there? 🦅
As iconic as Ozzy’s heartfelt vocals are, his roster of guitar legends over the years is just as impressive.
One of my absolute favorite Randy Rhoads tracks is “Flying High Again.” It’s the perfect blend of melodic and technical playing—every single note just fits perfectly! 🎸
What is your favorite Ozzy song? Let me know in the comments! 👇

Let go.
Embrace what you know.
Be free.
Stream conscious improv.

No map. No script. Just the moment, the instrument, and whatever wants to come through.
When you stop trying to sound like something and simply allow the music to move, that’s when it actually breathes.

Crafting perfection, one precise cut at a time. 🔨✨
Starting with a raw blank bone nut and using a laser cutter to create pilot slots just 0.005” wide, then dialing in fully compensated string spacing tailored to the player’s exact specs.
The result? A flawless bone nut that delivers:
• Perfect intonation
• Optimal resonance & sustain
• Rock-solid tuning stability
This isn’t just a nut — it’s a serious upgrade in feel and performance.

🚀 Want to take your alternate picking to world-class level?
Think Yngwie Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert, Al Di Meola, Steve Morse — that kind of speed, precision, and effortlessness.
It all starts with one thing most players ignore: your breathing. Stay relaxed. Loose grip. I’ve seen guys holding the pick and neck like they’re trying to crush b**r cans — don’t be that guy.
Keep your pick movement tiny. Stay on the top half of the string and barely leave it — we’re talking 1mm on each side (2mm total delta). Your right hand should move like a hummingbird.
Pivot from the wrist, rotate, or blend both — just stay relaxed. Tension is the enemy of speed.
Picking isn’t just a “metal” or “shred” thing. It’s the heavyweight champion of guitar techniques. Master it and country, bluegrass, rock, fusion… everything becomes way easier.

Jamming out on one of my favorite riffs right now 🔥🎸
This killer lick is from Andy Wood’s “Free Range Chicken” — the man is an absolute monster on the guitar. If you haven’t checked him out yet, you’re seriously missing out. One of the best pickers on the planet, hands down.

Alright, the moment of truth has arrived 🔥
New frets going are going in this 1992 Yamaha Pacifica 1412. After all the fretboard and inlay prep work, it’s time to start putting in the new frets. .
Progress pics incoming as we go — this guitar is giving off some great mojo.

Precision fret slot cleanup with the Dremel.
Using a Dremel moto-tool as a router with a cutting bit to perfectly clean and size the fret slots — running exactly 0.001” over tang width and 0.002” over tang depth. This ensures the fretwire seats flush and tight against the fretboard with zero gaps.
Great fretwork always starts with flawless prep.
This is advanced-level work. One small slip with the Dremel and you’re looking at a chewed-up fretboard. Patience and steady hands are everything.

Leveling the fretboard — carefully taking down the high spots to get a perfectly even surface.
This step ensures the frets will sit true, giving smooth playability and eliminating any unevenness before the next stage. Precision work in the workshop today.
