Remember the cold is no good either. I've seen what would be a beautiful sunburst Les Paul with cracks all over the finish.

And for godsakes, let the thing warm up gradually. If it is in a case, keep it there.

Ouch. That's kinda like dating someone you work with. If it doesn't work out it's gonna be awkward every time you see them. Just flat out tell him what you already wrote. Telling him he's a great guitar player but not right stylistically really shouldn't hurt his ego. Or maybe it's just a matter of ...

I guess I got the idea from reading an article about how the vocals for The Mars Volta were tracked: with a 58 next to the condenser just f...

That's a nice way to retain more control. Pretty much any effect I use on vocals I bus to an aux track and "mix in parallel".
