First post - welcome to c9gw
First post on this blog? This is where all the weird philosophy, motivation and vision stuff goes. Perfect opportunity to delve into the depths of guitar nerdism. As for myself, I'm guitar player in Austrian Black Metal band Asphagor and Death Metal band Azum. Also, I publish a guitar cover video every now and then - check out my Youtube channel. Fav. genres of music? All sorts of metal, classical music, jazz, not really not listening to anything unless it's an exertion of repetition as substitute for compository content.Motivation of fixing guitars? Rob Scallon perfectly describes the steps to any modification on the guitar for the lazy guitar player: https://goo.gl/mvlWsw
Futile nuisance to others and Sisyphean endeavor to some, these challenges rather pose an opportunity of meditative sorts for myself - yeah, I'm weird haha. In my opinion, the underlying concept of being able to fix guitars is strongly influenced whether or not one has screwed up lot of guitars and tried to repair them afterwards. As in my case, I became the epitome of inertia and put laziness to a new level. I did not look after my gear until it was in hell of a condition. Even then I didn't know how to properly set up my instruments - surprising, not? This practice continued until I got my first real guitar - an Ibanez Prestige RG3250 - which was more expensive than all previous guitars combined.
Long story short, behold the great ventures of guitar fixing on this blog, spiced up with occasional bits of music.
