I'm really enjoying the Ernie ball regular slinkys in 10's but I will have to check out some daddario strings. Thoughts on the emg hetset pickups and best metal pickups

Great episode of Ask RNA! Question: How do you approach learning new songs on guitar? When searching YouTube, I find songs are always not played the same way. So do you try to get as close as possible to how the artist actually plays a song or do you just try to get close enough? This applies to learning solos as well. Note for note or close enough?

I build guitars, amps, & effects as a hobby for years. Mostly I build for someone who wants something they can not get from the big manufactures, but I also build some stuff that is not a "special order".
As a retailer what do you think is the best way for me to approach my local retailers about selling my products. Consignment, wholesale pricing with a MSRP & MAP, etc...?

Ryan...do CMG offer a mahogany explorer ? I love Hetfield's guitar but not the ES
