OK so I've never had a "real" amp like this. I'm kind of embarrassed to say that 90% of my playing has been either through a Sony reel-to-reel tape deck, or an 80's SS bass amp... I had a Peavey practice amp of some sort, that I loaned to a guy who moved away with it :angryfire and lately I have...

Re: Don't put stuff off, or New Build Thread He says, and I quote, “Nothing makes ME sound good, but it plays great.”

Today I got a Sawtooth Tele copy (from Walmart) for $55, and an 80’s Squier Bullet from Goodwill for $60. I bought the Bullet, cause I love the necks on these. This will be the 3rd “E7” Bullet I’ve bought for the neck. They have the same square heel as a Tele, but I’ve never been a fan of the...

Re: Anybody want a brand-new Tele (copy) for $55? SURE you do! Well, it showed up today. It’s FANTASTIC considering I paid less than a tank of gas for it! It’s a full-depth Sycamore body, the neck feels nice and full, it’s matte finished like recent Squiers, like a thin seal coat instead of...

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sawtooth-ET-Series-Electric-Guitar/54789703?variantFieldId=actual_color I just ordered one for myself. The green ones (they say there are 2 left) are cheapest, but the most expensive ones are $125. THe exact same guitars on Amazon are nearly $200! A friend of my...

Re: Don't put stuff off, or New Build Thread So I guess the moral of the story is, don't keep putting off doing things, or calling your friends, or living your life because "Oh, we got lots of time, I'll get to it later..." because you may not have the time! So I gotta pack this thing up, and...

Re: Don't put stuff off, or New Build Thread I kept having to futz with the wiring, and since the body is Palouwina (but with Maple veneer front and back) I had to get Minwax Wood Hardener to keep the bridge and trem screw anchors from pulling out of the wood. I kept scratching the paint, and...

So, this is my buddy Ron. (Sorry for the artsy photo, it was the 90's and I was in photo school) Ron was my best friend in high school, we both got guitars at the same time (1984, I got a crappy Hondo LP and he got a crappy Hondo Strat) He could play all the cool stuff from the era-EVH, Rhoads...

So I recently bought a guitar that came with DD pups. I fully expected to want to switch 'em out, as you do. Is there a chart somewhere that says what mine are, and what SD pups they would equal? These should have a sticker or stamp underneath, right? So far I like how it sounds, but I don't...

Re: "Show Some Ibanez Love" Thread I had the bass (can't remember the model number) a few years ago. RIGHT after I bought it, one of my daughters needed surgery, and I got laid off at the same time, so it went away in the Great Gear Purge of 09. (And I got less for it than I paid for the...

http://alvarezguitars.com/guitar/aat33wnt/ I just typed this out on my stupid phone, like, 3 times and managed to accidentally swipe off the page and deleted my post. Imma just leave this here until I can get to a real computer and type this all out (again, sigh)

OK so I have a project that I'm trying to finish. It uses V-T-3 way wiring. I don't have a lot of time to work on this (OK, it's because I'm lazy :rolleyes:), so I looked online to see if anyone makes pre-wired harnesses like that. I found this, purportedly out of a Gibson M2). It has these...

Or, it could have been called, "How did I end up with so many black Fender copies?" Anyway, my Dad likes going to garage sales. He called me up the other day, saying, "Hey, is $50 good for a guitar and an amp?" This is the same guy who got me a Squier SE (with a real pretty sunburst finish) and...

OK I have this Tele I've been working on, it's a lefty that I'm building for a freind of mine. I have everything I need, other than the neck. I've been looking for a neck for it, and right now there seems to be dozens of them on Ebay, for peanuts. I usually get Allparts necks, and have had good...

Ok so I have this D.C.-LP copy that I've been working on for... far too long (70's Hondo set-neck, maple neck/Sen body, if it matters) I picked up a set of Artec Alnico 2 pups for it ages ago. If I install them the proper way, the white coils go to the inside, and everybody knows Zebras are...
