I might finally be getting a Marshall 1987x if all things go as planned (which, as usual, they will not), but I won't be able to afford a cab for awhile. I am thinking that I should be able to use the speakers from my Peavey combo, this is an okay thing to do for the time being, right? As long...

I'm looking to buy some white glossy paint for my project guitar I'm starting soon. What kind of paint do I need exactly and can I get it at any local stores? I'd rather just be able to go out and buy it than have to get it online. I'll need some clear lacquer, too, correct?

I got a free body and neck from someone and I'm beginning plans to put it together, so here's what I'm gonna need: Black 1 hum pickguard 1 pot 1 white standard strat knob A strat jack plate A jack A neck plate Grover in-line mini locking tuners And I might be interested in: SH-1 59 bridge pup...

I've finally got the money to buy one sometime this summer if all goes as planned. But I just found out that they hiked the prices on this amp from 1200 to 1600. So will I still be able to find one on ebay for 5-600 like you used to be able to or are those days gone do you think? Should I be...

Is there an amp out there thats got jangly cleans (think early Beatles) and Marshall plexi crunch? All for under 2000 new or used? I don't have the money yet but I am starting my amp search now so when I have the money this summer I know exactly what I want. I'm not too picky about the rest of...

I decided that although funds in my bank account are starting to run low, I NEED a fuzz pedal. My favorite fuzz tone is Hendrix's Band of Gypsies era tone, which would lead me to the Fulltone 70. I've heard both good and bad things about it, such as it is can pick up radio stations and might not...

hey, I'm looking for a new strat and this one is looking like the one at the top of my list. I would go American, but I don't want to buy used off-line and theres no good used guitars in my area. And since the nearest place that MIGHT have this guitar is an hour and a half away, I would like...

Hey, Awhile ago the volume pot on my Squier strat crapped out, so I bought a new one to replace it from the local guitar shop. When I had it all wired up, I put on one string to see if it would work and it worked fine. But when I finished putting the guitar back together it cut in and out. And...

Hey all, Today while in the guitar store I found a made in Korea Hardtail in a sweet tiger burst finish. It was the first time I've ever played one, and I was really impressed. It even made the crappy amp I was playing through sound descent! They want $640 for it, is this a good deal? If I get...

Hey, I really really want a maple neck strat but theres no way I can afford a new guitar, so I want to put one on my Squier. Dont care about brand, just want one that isn't too cheap or too expensive, looks nice and feels nice, has 22 frets, and will fit my Squier. Will the 21 to 22 fret thing...

Has anyone played one of these amps? I can go try them, but the shop is closed until Tuesday. What do you think of these amps? I am starting to think I want one of these more than a Marshall but I'm not sure yet. Can they get good plexi tones to play Zep/Cream/Hendrix and all other sorts of...

John was cool enough to send me a ts-5 he modded to try out. I love the sounds I'm getting from it, theyre much smoother than what my amp can do. I'm not a great reviewer, so I made a clip. I'll let the guitar do the talking. To record, I went Squier strat (neck pup) --> TS-5--> Peavey amp -->...

I'll be getting my Marshall soon and need a cab. I've seen Carvins go pretty cheap on ebay. Heres the model I'm looking at: http://www.carvin.com/products/single.php?ItemNumber=412T&CID=GA I would like to get something with Greenbacks or Vintage 30's, but if I cant afford them I'll get...

Hey all, I was going to wait until next year to get a Marshall, but I decided to get it this year since it's the only thing I'm sure I want :smack: I'm pretty sure I want the 1987x reissue. The 1959SLP is too loud for me and the Bluesbreaker is too heavy for my weak self. But I still need the...

Are they capable of getting plexi tones? I'm looking at them, and a 1987x reissue. I think I want the 1987, but can't fully decide. :smack: Any opinions are welcome. Chris
