Hi everyone, hope life is treating you well. Well, the wife and I have been talking about a new guitar for awhile now and we were finally in a position to go ahead. Been wanting a Les Paul for awhile now and... 2017 tribute plus!!!! Not only is this my first les paul but my first American made...

Starting a project this weekend just curious what the preference is. Doing a vintage 6 screw to modern 2 post conversion on a strat body with a refin. Drilling the bushing holes tomorrow and not sure if I should press them in at the same time or wait till finish is done. Thoughts? Sent from my...

Anyone know where to find one? Googled the crap out of it and can't find one.... Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk

So my new amp is loud as frack! I recently picked up a Phaez D-style combo and I love it but being a bedroom player for now I kinda want to tame it a bit. It came with a Mesa black shadow 90 in it (the Celestion). Does anyone know how efficient those are? I've read that they are a modified cl80...

Haven't been on in forever, but had to share. Stopped in a local shop about six weeks ago and found a used Phaez Meridian 1x12, now known as the Nova Drive one of Randys D-style amps. Wasn't really happy with my Vaporizer, stewed on it for a few days, talked it over with the wife went back and...

Long time no post,hope everyone is well. Finally got around to putting Mean 90s and new wiring in my Strat. The pots are the brass shaft Alphas from Guitar Fetish. 500k audio for volume linear for tone. Treble bleed too. Caps are Mallory 150s .022. Everything is amazeballs!!!! Except the tone...

Hey everyone, haven't been on in a long time. Hope everyone is well. Picked up my first real (read tube) amp today! So excited had to share with everyone. Slate blue Fender vaporizer!! Sorry no way to post pics.... It is everything I want and need in an amp and I couldn't be happier. Enjoy the...

First time trader... Squier two point strat trem. Chrome base plate, satin block saddles, black height/intonation screws, trem arm, studs and inserts. Trade for gold vintage style six screw strat trem. Duncan Designed HB-102 set (JB/Jazz) chrome covers(removed) logo removed as well, with...

I finally have my Ibby dialed in, but i cannot decide what to do with my Squier and would love some suggestions. What i have is a rear route hh strat in mahogany with a thin body (think affinity). it came with chrome covered hb-102 set (jb/jazz). Played them for a few years decided to try...

Hey guys haven't been on in awhile. So I have this old Ibanez. It is an EX model from '90-'91, basically a Korean made RG before they made Korean RGs. Had the hb-102 set kicking around and put them in just because they were there. The neck (jazz copy) was great the bridge (jb) was terrible...

Does anybody know where I can find a decent Strat neck for a project with the 7.25 radius? Rosewood board. In the Mighty Mite $100 range? Thanks for any assistance guys.

So the misses has budgeted $300 in a few weeks to buy my first real tube amp. I have it narrowed down to either a Class 5 head (already have a 112 cab) or the new Fender Excelsior. Haven't played either one yet, might not get too. There isn't any artist whose tone I want to cop. But some of my...

Popped into one of the local shops today and he had a blonde 112 combo. Having heard such great things about it here I had to play it for a min. Wonderful amp!!! Plugged a MIM strat into it and really enjoyed myself. Only complaint is, it is way too much amp for my skill set lol. The dirt was...

How do they take pedals? Desperately need an amp and have decided on the Class 5. But would like opinions from actual users with a brain. Most curious about things like the Wampler Plexi type drives and the Zen Drive. Thanks for the help guys!!!

Want some opinions guys. I love my screamin demon. I have it on a triple shot and really like the split sound, it has this funky, quacky attack that is just awesome. Almost 2/4 strat quack like (just mentioned this in the '59 vs. SD thread). If I had the custom shop make me a single with a demon...
