Been a while since I posted anything here but I need some help. I was just approached by a guy with a 2003 quilt top Brazilian board for sale. For starters seems like people either really like or dislike quilt tops. I really don't care about the top as much as the tone. My question though is...

One more addition to the family...I finally got a superlead again. I ran my last one to the ground and sold it. Been dying for another one but I wanted a clean one and I found it. Sweet price too only $900. It is an original 1973 except for the power cord. Check out all the red dye on the...

I just sold 2 Les Pauls so that I might pick up a nice flamed R9 and this might be it but I am still $3000 short. Darn it!!! I am tempted to bid anyways. The 2001 - 2003 Brazilian R9's are said to be the closest reproductions of a 1959 original ever built from the Gibson Custom Shop. If the...

What impedance can I expect from this wiring from a Stereo Jack Plate? It was definetly rewired and I have no clue what Ohm I am going to get at the 2 mono and stereo settings. Notice how only 2 connectors are used.

I am learning Dokken songs: Unchain the Night, It's not Love, and In My Dreams. After some practice just getting the chords and stuff I tried playing along with the CD and found that it was not standard tuning. So I dropped a half step and it still wasn't right. Now I have never heard of...

I don't know how the HECK this started but it started yesterday and I can't get rid of it. I tried everything (obviously not the right thing) but I am at a loss. I tried messing with: pickup height diff gauge picks light picking vs. heavy picking diff amp settings diff guitars (from 10's and...

The guy I have been going to for the past 5 years just retired. Anyone know a good amp tech preferably in the south orange county, ca area? I just need to retube a head. Thanks

I just got to play a SG Supreme owned by a guy I met at a friend's house today. He said he picked it up from ebay for $1400. The guitar blew me away. I played it through my buddie's Marshall 6100 head through a mesa 4x12 cabinet. It has a mahogany body and neck with ebony fret board and flame...
