Guitar Builders Quiz
Guitar Builders Quiz
OK folks here is a little quiz for you...
The first one to answer all questions correctly will win a tub of multi-national lard.
1) In respect to a guitar the term "speaking length" refers to:
A) How long Obama spoke during last night's press conference.
B) How men have been known to verbally describe the length of something... approximately 2" longer than it really is.
C) The distance of an unencumbered string as measured between the nut face and saddle crown.
2) The "action" of a guitar can be "properly" adjusted with the truss rod - True or False?
3) A loose fret can be determined by:
A) Yanking on the blasted thing with channel locks.
B) Asking the fret how much for an hour's worth of time.
C) Tapping downward on the fret with something solid like a thick engineer's scale in three locations, both ends and in the middle.
Good luck!

"1) In respect to a guitar the term "speaking length" refers to:"
The correct answer is:
D) The length of time the guitarist spends talking to the hot chick standing near the stage, when he should be getting ready to do the next damned song & the rest of the band waits!
"2) The "action" of a guitar can be "properly" adjusted with the truss rod - True or False? "
The correct answer is:
False.... It's not the truss rod that determines how much action a guitar has!
It's how much wood that's exposed that determines how much action it gets.
&
"3) A loose fret can be determined by: "
The correct answer is:
D) The Fret Board, it is they who should make a judgement on a fret's sense of moral values.
And before I collect the prize, I'll need to know who the Tub of international lard is! We already have a few 'over-indulgent' politicians of our own!

How about the rather apt "Noel Coward" look?kiwigeo wrote: 4. What is deemed appropriate attire while working on a side bender?
A. Pyjamas and a pipe.
Smoking Jacket and a pipe. Then even if you cock up a side you could stare off thoughtfully into the distance holding your pipe & still look cool & sophisticated.
I'm not aware of Heshie's wardrobe Martin, is it full of large collared Paisley shirts and 16" bell bottomed Flares?
Personally I'd go for C)

Alright Hesh! Way to go - now you've got the indigenous tribesmen pondering whether to ban our sorry North American asses for life!
Rod, all due respect, you need to send that bucket of porcine lipid to the southern hemisphere to one of our Australasian antipodean brethren or sistren. (If for no other reason than to enlarge their asses to the point where the Earth is once again stabilized, counteracting the planetary wobble induced by fat-ass Americans.)
