TS-484 This is the Eastman version of the Gibson ES-339. I had if about a year and a half so far. It hasn't left the house, so I can't give a real world review of the guitar. The guitar is well-made and the parts, the fit, and the finish are all first-rate. Since this is the Duncan board, I...

These show your ________ threads are interesting and worthwhile as there are usually some interesting and excellent guitars posted. Couldn't find any decent pictures of my Standards, however, I did find these. Yes, I know they are awful. First is an old Walnut SG FIrebrand which I bought in...

I'm older than the moon and have never owned a fender because of their pickups and narrow neck radius on almost 999% of their guitars. A local store handles Charvel and one day I had to give one a try. The baked finger board magically called out to me and carried me off to distant shores...

Bought a V2 when it first came out and really appreciate the pedal. when the V3 came out, I went to a local dealer and tried the pedal. First up, Truetone folks redesigned the V3 series to rectangular shaped enclosures. Next, Side by side, the V3 sounds clearer and smother. Yes, I bought...

Truetone makes two dual pedals. Originally bought the Jekyll and Hyde. This pedal has much more than I'll ever use. Realized that I was using it mostly as a two stage OD pedal, I traded it for the VS-XO.

https://www.americanmusical.com/epiphone-sg-muse-electric-guitar/p/EPI-ENMS-LIST Slightly different model. This is the SG Muse. Had the opportunity to try this at local store. The knobs look weird. Go figure, I'm a traditionalist. Really well-built, and its $500!! Played really nice right...

Have a Guitar to throw into the Mix Have a Guitar to throw into the Mix Have played both guitars. Would rather play the Viper. Just liked the neck better than the Epiphone necks. Here is another guitar to consider. Can I throw another guitar into the mix? Have never seen or played...

Re: Who Has A Cool "Explorer" W/ Duncans Sold this one about 4 years ago to get a SG Standard. It had a Jazz bridge in the neck and a SD in the bridge and they were fantastic in this guitar. This guitar had a sound that demanded that I play Saturday Nite Special and Gimme Three Steps out the...

Re: Best Sounding Solid State Amps. “I really like the Orange CR120. It's basically voiced like a Rockerverb, but it's all analog solid state circuitry.” Just got rid of my old Kustom HV-65, its one of their hybrid amps. So, I went amp shopping. I walked into the store and spent some...

Although I'm not an Alt 8 user, I would like to mention a Kramer that is on the Gibson site. Since there was a recent discussion about these pickups, I am posting some of the pertinent information for you Alt 8 users. Mahogany body with quilted-Maple top veneer • Mahogany neck with SlimTaper™...

Kramer Guy I have the Rajun Cajun in my Fender Frontman 25R and it is the best speaker on the market IMO, for any small wattage amp that has a 10" Speaker. It handles up to 75 watts and has a much heavier magnet than anything which Fender puts in their amps. It'll transform your amp into a...

What did you think of the amp? Had a chance to see this amp over the Thanksgiving weekend up in Chicago. It is an excellent sounding amp that is a cross between an early Marshall and a Vox. It doesn’t try to be a clone of either amp, but takes the best of both worlds. Yes, it is a...

Went to visit a new music store in town. When I walked in, there were a couple of LP shaped guitars with headstocks that reminded me of Heritage. When I went over to 'em and read up close, they were Prestige guitars. http://www.prestigeguitars.com/ They seem like solid well built guitars...

Basically, I'm looking for a tube amp that is going to require minimun upkeep over the years. I no longer play out. Am thinking of selling my Haze and replacing it with a Fender Super Sonic 60 112 or a Mesa Express. Was window shopping on the GC web site, I came across this amp. It was...
