Stompboxtension: More Daily Gear Giveaways from Premier Guitar!

There are a lot of different personal choices in the world of guitar. We all have our priorities, but they usually revolve around things like sound, versatility, comfort, and, of course, aesthetics. After over five decades in the business of making, repairing, and playing guitar, I don’t believe I’ve actually reached the end of how varied guitarists’ priorities can be. Playability is right near the top of concerns, yet almost every guitarist might define that term differently—if they can articulate it at all. Some are concerned about string height, while others are oblivious to the difference it can make. Others feel that the width of a neck is the most crucial factor, while some insist that all fret buzz must be eliminated. As you can see, it’s a complicated equation.
