Christian! I got a new amp!

...and this is the point where Lew gets banned permanently from the forum

I was hoping I was protected by some sort of statute of limitations on idiocy...

But I wasn't the only one who hacked guitars back them. Ever see an original edition of Chord Chemistry by Ted Green? He's holding a 1960 or 61 Gibson ES-355 that he somehow installed a Strat single coil pickup between the neck humbucker and the end of the fingerboard! I don't know how he got it in there...maybe he removed some of the fingerboard or something! Lew

Thanks! Bruce found it for me...

Don't feel bad. When I was an idiot teenager back in the 60's I took a '56 Gibson Les Paul, stripped off the gold finish and painted it sparkle green with spray paint...then stripped it again and painted it polka dot. I also had a '51 Tele routed for two Stratocaster pickups. I also stripped a tweed '59 Bassman and covered it in orange Naugahyde. I also sold a '59 Sunburst Les Paul for $750. :doh:

I don't find this so bad? I mean guitars are meant to be played, there's nothing against modding them. Vintage or not. And at the time they probably weren't that vintage (no offence Lew ).

That's a smoking deal... Only in the US eh... nothing of the sort in Europe. I'm dying for a SF head with reverb that I can restore someday.

Good luck finding that in australia....although a guy i use to live with found an original 50's fender with a jensen speaker for 300 bucks....garage sales rock!

Re: Christian! I got a new amp!

Anyone know where I can hear some good clips of a vintage PR? I don't mean something that's gone through a mixing and mastering process with a band; I mean something that's pure, straight-up Princeton Reverb.

P.S. Congrats on the great score, Lew!

Keith - I'm not sure that the Princeton Reverb clip here is bone stock (may use 6L6 power tubes) but it's sweet: http://www.el34world.com/Forum/yabb2/nph-YaBB.pl?num=1144778806/0#0 The Reverb Rocket clip is worth listening to as well...
