To all ~ I've composed this thread before, but I feel the need to repeat it because of MJ's consistent, phenomenal work. 2 weeks ago, I picked up a rather plain looking '59 VOS from guitarsale.com that had wonderful highs and warmth with the standard BurstBuckers. Once I received her and...

To all ~ Will Potting my Custom Shop PAFs Ruin the harmonics and Overtones? I'm getting some bad squeal from my MJ pickups (through high-gain) and am going to send them back to her for potting with the Antiquity Covers ON. Any thoughts on how this will affect the existing tone (which is...

To all ~ Ok, I couldn't wait any longer since John Boles from Guitarsale.com opened my box and took a few quick pics of my guitar, played her and weighed her before he left for the Greensboro Jam this morning. Extra special thanks to Dave Carpenter, John Boles and the folks at Gibson for making...

To all ~ About 2 months ago, I approached MJ during NAMM about winding a set of original spec '57 PAFs to model the pickups in Duane Allman's Cherry Burst. Well, knowing full well that the pickups were '57's (swapped from his original '57 Goldtop), the process of winding PAFs at Gibson was...

Folks, Hate to have to do this, but I'm in over my head in bills. Who knew that January would be so brutal, already. Let me know if you have any questions. '57 Reissue Darkback http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7379530906&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT& rd=1 Landgraff...

To all ~ At the expense of a few hundred dollars ($179 or so), I decided to splurge on a new pedal for my rig. I browsed through MusicToyz and picked up an XOTIC RC Booster. Now, having read some varying reviews on the pedal, I decided that I'd try it with all of my electrics and various OD...

To all ~ Need some cash, so I'm unloading some prized music pieces. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Lee M. Numbered Timbucker Set (Zebra) http://cgi.ebay.com/Timbuckers-Zebra-Bobbins-EdA-Wind_W0QQitemZ7359853941QQcategoryZ22670QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Gold Klon...

To all ~ Been a long time since I've posted, so I wanted to share a recent tonal discovery. A few weeks ago, I reworked the speaker configuration in my Reissue Vibrolux (two 10's) to accomodate my original cone JBL D120F and one of the stock 10" Jensens. The results are the following with my...

To all ~ I've posted this on a few other Forums and wanted to make sure this made it into the system. I had a small "Tonefest" at my home today since my wife is out of town and I'm free to jam all hours of the day...so this is what I did. 1. Resistors and Capacitors / Treble Bleed Mod: I...

To all ~ I've waited to post this thread for quite some time since I wanted to get reacquinted with my '92 Clapton Strat and get a feel for how she sounds acoustically and plugged-in through my Vibrolux - it had been a while since I played her given how obsessed I've become with my Les Paul. I...

Anyone have anything matching this description? Let me know. Lee Moore donald.l.moore@bankofamerica.com

To all - I think the search is finally over. The quest for the perfect OD/Distortion pedal has ended with my purchase of the Landgraff OD. I didn't think a pedal existed that could take you into sonic territories such as the great JCM 800 crunch and the infamous SLO 100 lead tone. I'm pleased...

Before I post a full review of the Antiquity I's in my Clapton Strat, I need to ask an important question. Is it vital to get the pickup heights absolutely correct before the pickups will truly shine? I know that there was a lot of banter on the old Forum about the heights of the Antiquities...

Ok - I just picked up a very nice Korg DTR 2000 and had an opportunity to play around with it over the weekend. I've noticed a couple of items that are disheartening: 1. On my Strats and R8, the readings jump all over the board when I pick a note or an open string. What I mean is that I will...

To all, For the longest time I've been unhappy with how the G on my various Les Pauls (past and present) sounds at certain frets (i.e. frets 11-15). It feels like the string is slightly too thick as an unwound string (using an 10-56 set from DR or D'addario) for that area of the guitar when...
