Here's a trick I learned from Master Luthier Steve Klein (http://www.kleinguitars.com/kleinacousticguitars.htm) when I worked for him to remove small dents in your guitar.

1). Wet a paper towel really well with water.
2). Ring out the paper towl so there isn't any excess water
3). Heat up a saudering iron
4). Fold the paper towel to about 4 folds
5). Lay the paper towel on top of the dent
6). Place the saudering iron on the paper towel and hold for approximately 5 seconds.

Lift the saudering iron up and check the dent. Only place the iron there for no more than a 4-5 seconds at a time. What this does is infuses the water into the guitar and the heat expands the wood. Then the heat dries the wood. You will see the dent get smaller and smaller. In some instances I've used this to remove the dent completely. Works great on small dents but will also work good on larger ones as well.

Hope this helps.

I would have to say it's the player that makes the best guitar. You could give a '59 Les Paul to a complete amateur and it will sound horrible. But give a Hondo electric to an experienced player and it will sound beautiful. It comes down to the player in my opinion. 

With that said, I'm a Peavey Wolfgang devotee ;-) 
And yes I have named these three. They are "Little Bastard", "Elvis" and "Sinatra" 

@Rob - Yeah that would be embarrassing. I'm sure you handled it like a pro though. 

@Troy - Did anyone notice? I heard a similiar story from Stu Hamm but it was intentional lol

I'm not sure if this topic has been posted yet but if not I thought it would be a fun one to have. 

My most embarrassing moment on stage was when a friend asked me to come up and do a guest spot with his band. His rhythm guitar player handed me his guitar. I put it on and proceeded to walk to the front of the stage. What he failed to tell me was that his guitar cable was only about 6 feet long (the lights were off on stage) and when I got about halfway out the entire top half of the full stack came crashing to the ground. The head and the top 4x12 made the loudest, most crushing sound. Luckily it was a solid state amp and it kept on working (once it was picked up and put back together).

UPDATED EMBARRASSING MOMENT:

I totally forgot about this one. Maybe because I blocked it out lol

Let me preface this by saying that AC/DC is my all-time favorite band. I was onstage at The House of Blues in Hollywood, CA. and Cliff Willliams got onstage and we were to do "T.N.T.". So here I am on stage with the bass player of my favorite band and Cliff nudges me and says "let's do backup vocals". All I had to say was "oi, oi, oi". I walked up the microphone and forgot the lyrics lol. I never get starstruck. But this time was different. Also in the audience was Rudy Sarzo, Gene Simmons, Bruce Kulick, Ron Jeremy and a host of other celebrities. Luckiy Cliff was really cool and I recovered pretty well.

 

I really like Andy Mills idea of a featured artist section. There are a lot of fantastic musicians on here and giving them a featured artist spot for a day or a couple would be great I think.

I'm from Silicon Valley. Home of Apple, Google, AOL, Yahoo and just about every other tech company you can think of. To say this town isn't music friendly would be an understatement lol. But it is close enough to everything so I guess it isn't that bad. I'd attach a photo but there really isn't much to see here lol

Thanks! Yeah I lease a warehouse that is also my recording studio and rehearsal studio. Definitely has enough room. Although it's starting to get a little cramped in there lol
