    Gibson's $1,000 humbuckers

    They said they were only producing 1000 and they cost $1000. And then they produced a second batch. So then they didn't make only 1000? I would be pissed about this if this is true. I'd sue them. Screws up my investment... if I had bought one of the first 1000

    Magnetic guitar strings

    It comes down to percentages. Pure Nickel yes. But the percentage of nickel in strings is very low. Someone told me it was marketing gimmick. That the percentage is too insignifican.

    Magnetic guitar strings

    For a electric guitar: These are nickel wound, but nickel is not magnetic. I'm not understanding how it can offer bright tone, if it's not magnetic. Not offering anything for string tension.

    First Photo from James Webb Space Telescope

    Yes, but since the speed of light is faster than the acoustic wavelength... you will see the guitar, but not hear the guitar... if the Webb telescope is watching you. When you eventually hear the guitar, it wont have any reverb. That would suck, because I love reverb more than anything

    Speed of light is 299,792,458 m/s Speed of shockwave in space is 1,500,000 m/s Speed of light is 200 times faster than a space shockwave. So if you looking at light from the big bang that is 13 billion years old, you will have to wait 2600 billion years to see the shockwave. If we see...

    No, you can't. Because if there is no big bang, there is no creator. And therefore they wont say that. But..... someone else will perhaps.... unless there is rules against that. The telescope is a joint venture of many countries that will share it. Europe might look in the right places...
