Once upon a time I posted here, a lot. Then I went to college. Then I started playing in a few bands. Then one of my bands got pretty okay and we played a lot of shows and recorded an EP. Here's that EP: http://castine.bandcamp.com Notable: Seymour Duncan '59s were used on lots of the guitar...

Now that I have my MIA Strat (one of these days I'll post pictures), I don't need this Schecter anymore. So here it is. It's a Schecter C1+ purchased around May 2004. Comes with a Tonepros locking bridge, Grover tuners, and Duncan Designed HB-103 Distortion pickups. Mahogany body and neck...

FS one lightly used Alnico II Pro neck humbucker with a nickel cover. The cover has some scratches on it. About 11" of wire left. I'm not sure what color the bobbins are. $60 Shipped

I really love Les Pauls, Customs especially. Problem is, I seem to have this mental block about paying big money for a Gibson. Yet I'm much more comfortable with the idea of even paying >$1000 for a Fender/G&L guitar. Maybe I have some sort of subconscious objection to Gibson's business...

How close is the Citrus D-30 model in the PODxt to the real deal? I've spent quite a bit of time with my PODxt lately, and I can't stop playing with the 3 presets I've made with that amp. I love it! If Oranges are really like that, I want one. :D

Hey guys, I think I'm looking to sell my Custom Tele project guitar. It was outlined in this thread. For a summary, 2002 MIM Fender Tele body and neck Refinished with Reranch nitro products Mint green pickguard Distortion bridge, Dunc Designed Distortion neck (from my Schecter C1) All new...

We all know and love the brightly colored standard packs of EB Slinky strings - But what about the red/black packs, ? I got a set of 10-50 red/black EB's for Christmas, and I'm having a hard time tracking them down in a store to buy again. Seems that GC only sells them online and none of the...

I have a Mesa Studio 22 without a footswitch. Being the completist I am, the Marshall footswitch I'm using just doesn't cut it for me. If anyone has an older single-button "Red=Rhythm" Mesa footswitch, I'd like to buy it from you!

I bought this a couple months ago to get myself out of a creativity slump. It worked, but now I have no use left for it. I bought it through Analogman, where it was modded for true bypass. Cost $295 new. Selling near-brand new for $200 + shipping. Comes with all original documentation and...

I have a lot of leftover parts and pieces from the Telecaster project. I'll sell them cheap! ***SOLD*** 1)Telecaster Humbucker bridge. 5-hole type, with one screw at each corner and one in the center of the back. Never used, comes with screws and wrench. $8...

I hinted around about a year ago that I was doing a custom Tele project. I finished it back in June, but never took pictures because taking, resizing, and posting digital pictures is one of my least favorite activities. But, I finally dusted off the camera (and the guitar...) tonight and took...

Marshall JCM600 2x12 combo, model 602. 60W, two channels, 2x12 open-back combo. Currently has Svetlana EL34 power tubes, about 6 months old. Preamp tubes are a mix of Mesa and Marshall 12AX7's. JJ's sound great in the preamp of this amp, but mine all went microphonic, so I put the ones that came...

Anyone here have an LP Custom? I'd love to see them. Customs are my favorite Les Pauls, only Goldtops come close. My next guitar will be a Custom, but that's probably a very long way off.

Where do they all come from? Brand new empty bodies, loaded bodies, pickguards, loaded pickguards, necks, necks with tuners, etc. Where do all these major parts come from? Do buyers purchase whole guitars wholesale and split them up to make more money? Does Fender sell these kinds of parts to...

What is it about that classic rock/blues bass sound that just makes it sound an octave lower and incredibly thick, but not muddy? "Modern" bass sounds are much brighter, clankier, and more easily heard. The classic rock stuff is just deep and thick, the stuff that makes the room vibrate. So...
