There was a guy selling Epiphone Probuckers with the quick connect system on the local craiglist style app here in Japan, so I decided to give it a shot and went ahead and ordered them. It was only later I found out that they were coming out of Asia, and that they might be potentially ‘fake’...

Bought a used Epi LP junior from a guy who modded it with an orange drop capacitor and an unknown Gibson pickup. The PU says 'T' on it and for some reason it's mounted the other way. The sound is smooth and fat without overdriving the amp.The mid range doesn't stick out substantially like some...

Someone I know is selling Epi Japan LP HBs for 40 bucks.I have no experience with these. Any good? Sent from my SCV33 using Tapatalk

This is from an Epiphone LP custom Korea that I just bought recently.It says 'DCJ'. Sounds good, I'm thinking it's a Duncan Custom. Then again, what does the 'J' stand for? Sent from my SCV33 using Tapatalk

Hello everyone, I have an Edwards(ESP) Les Paul with a jazz in the neck and a JB in the bridge.The neck sounds fine but the bridge is just WAY too much for my ears. Its sounds like every single frequency maxed out, like the pickup is gonna explode if any more juice is put in it. Are there any...

This is the one with the Sheffield speaker.I found one for 86 bucks. Great clean sound. Not a big fan of the lead channel on it's own, but with the thrash button engaged the drive channel comes to life. Very American sound. I liked it a lot. What were your experiences with this amp? P.S if you...

Just got this Tokai Breezy Sound Tele from a pawn shop for 300 bucks and I don't have a clue if its new or post 1985. On top of that it has a 5 hole pick guard(which is kind of an annoying feature if you like tinkering).Any help appreciated Thanks. Sent from my SCV33 using Tapatalk

I want to know what year it was made in. The serial numbers are in the neck and bridge PU cavity and the pups are Seymour Duncan SH1 neck and JB bridge. The pots are noble with kck caps. I paid 300 bucks and the setup was quite messed up, fixed now though. It plays perfectly. Any help...

I picked this up for a 100 bucks at a local pawn shop, plays like a dream. Does anyone have any info on these, specifically​ the pickups and year. The serial number is 009381. Thanks. Sent from my SCV33 using Tapatalk

I saw one on sale for 750 bucks.What's the word on these? Will I get the Mesa sound heard on so many records or is this it's own amp with it's own unique voicing? And lastly, how is the reliability of this amp? Cheers. Sent from my SCV33 using Tapatalk

Take a Vox nightrain (v1) and an Orange Tiny Terror, A/B them through a Vintage 30 412 or 212 and you have a plethora of tones. I use EHX tubes in my NT so it's super bright, but through a v30 cab it evens out and the thick mode sounds like a Bogner ecstasy red pedal. Add a maxon and a SD 1 to...

I have been on the fence for a LONG time, but I found one for 260 bucks and I LOVE it! It's a tone machine. Just wanted to share. Sent from my SCV33 using Tapatalk

Is is suppose to be a copy of an Alnico blue or is it its own thing? So confused. If I was to change it to another alnico, which would be better, Jensen Mod 8 or P8R8? Sent from my SCV33 using Tapatalk

I opened the back screws on this amp for a speaker upgrade only to discover that the wood on the back panel is nailed in, so you cant go access it from the back.Are the two screws on the side for opening the front? Help needed pls.

One the best classic distortion pedals I have ever used. I know thats a bold statement. This pedal can deliver blues, the brown sound, thick distortion, and when fully cranked with the tone knob around 2, you got yourself a useable rat fuzz tone. The mid switch is another beast all together...
