Jeff built a beautiful Pomona for me in 2013- a few years later I was in Nashville for a weekend and called and asked if I could drop it off for him to look at - I could pick up another time. He insisted to take a look that Saturday at the guitar- I went back to pick it up and he invited me to join Jeff and Chris for sushi. Jeff has some stories! And he is an incredible player! Thanks Tom- have been waiting for this one! ❤

The Relicing craze started with the Stevie Ray Vaughan Stratocaster. Everyone wanted their strat to look like that but they didn't want to wait 30 years. The secret to relicing is knowing when to stop. I have an idea for a business. Refinishing all the Reliced guitars after the craze has ended

The symbolism of cutting that headstock makes so much sense to me. Back in the early 80s the guitar shop I worked in ordered 12 Fernandes stratocasters with the fender headstock out of Japan. They arrived in New York City and we got a letter. They said they were going to cut the headstocks off or send them back. We said we didn't want them. The only way they could remain in the United States is if they cut the headstocks off. So his headstock makes a lot of sense

I believe reversing the polarity on the speaker affects the attack since the initial speaker movement is in the opposite direction. When you hit the strings you want the speaker to compress the air in front of it. If you reverse wire it, you're creating a vacuum in front of the speaker on the attack so it's not initially compressing the ear drum in front of it.

Speaker polarity totally makes a difference, both subjectively and scientifically. The difference is whether the speaker is pushing out or pulling back on initial attack, and you can hear it. With the Eagles years ago we used to make sure every speaker/amp on the stage matched in polarity. Works in the studio also.
