    New Strat

    Thanks, All. I'd been telling myself that my next new guitar (before having bought this one) was going to be an archtop... but... this will actually see much more stage time than a 335-type would have. It's typically a few-several yrs between guitar purchases, so I guess a semi-hollow is on...

    New Strat

    Thanks to everyone for the kind comments. The middle knob is temporary - it's from Stew-Mac and is an 'ivroid Tele'-type knob. I didn't care for the more golden/yellow/tan ones that came on it stock, but I didn't have a matching set in parchment, etc. I have a set coming. The Torque...

    New Strat

    Classic Player 60s with a Motor City Pickups' Torque model in the bridge position. I've had it about 6 weeks now... something like that. Here it is:

Asymetrical clipping is where the top half of the waveform is...

    I modified it with a mini-toggle switch to select between an OD mode (with asymetrical clipping) and a faux-RC Booster mode. I also installed a mojo-laden Blue LED as well as improving all 1uF coupling caps from electrolytic to stacked metal film (same value) and replaced the 10uF output cap...

    Melody Gardot

    I only learned of this chick a few days ago and have gone completely crazy over her stuff. She's in the general camp of Norah Jones, but completely different in various ways. www.melodygardot.com www.myspace.com/melody Just today I got her Worrisome Heart in the mail from CD Baby... great...

    Anyone tried the Roadhouse Strat?

    I wish Fender would upgrade the funky logo on MIMs like this - like on the Classic Series for instance. I played a mpl neck'd model @ GC and liked it. Very nice/light body weight on the one I check out.

    Sounds great, Robert; I really dig the Tele thru this amp.
