On this episode of Talking Guitars, we hang out with Hector from the Guitar Tech Adventures YouTube channel 🎸🔥
We dive into the world of guitars—repairs, mods, and real-life guitar tech adventures—and recap some of the cool gear and moments we both saw at NAMM Show 2026.

Hector talks about going to Musicians Institute to learn how to work on guitars, his time working at ESP, and later at Fender.

But like does this yellow highlighted part make sense to anyone? I don't see it in ANY other wiring diagram. The connection from the volume pot to tone pot? #guitar #luthier #guitartech

🎸 Larry DiMarzio vs. Eddie Van Halen – Who Did It First? 🔧

Pickup legend Larry DiMarzio says he made the same Strat bridge mod Eddie later became famous for — narrowing string spacing for better tuning + alignment.

Exclusively Van Halen: 🎸 Larry DiMarzio vs. #EddieVanHalen – Who Did It First? 🔧 6/5/25

I found this really nice strap for my guitar. It wasn't cheap, (just over $100USD) but it should last forever, AND it's a pretty good color match. It's leather with all brass hardware. The inside is smooth and doesn't grab my shirt like other leather straps with suede interiors do. It's a perfect buy-it-for-life option if you otherwise like the fit & feel of everyday cotton / plastic straps. #StrapLocks coming soon.

Success! I was able to get a hold of a set of Medium length "Ruthenium" aka "Dark Chrome" #StrapLocks S-Locks. #Schaller quit making this color a few years ago. I looked around a few different places and even had an order canceled. I don't get why they quit making this color. A ton of guitars have this kind of hardware finish. Installation pictures coming soon.
