I just saw a page over at musicians friend I think it was showing the availability of a new line of Marshall tube amps. Is anyone else interested in the new Haze series amps by Marshall? Like where are they made and what do they sound like? They are pretty darned cheap (for a Marshall) which has...

Somehow I'm not all that surprised.

My #1 is easy to explain. Its my 1980 Vox standard model 24. It's got the best rock & roll tone I've ever heard and more importantly (to me) the neck fits my hand PERFECTLY. Its a old friend that could never be replaced by another guitar regardless of price. Eric

I feel sorry for his guitar,as well as his victims. Hopefully he can get help for his drinking problem?

I've seen a few demos of the VG. I think its a pretty cool looking idea.It does stray from the conventional strat setup which has apparently hurt the sales of it. At this point in time however I think that with the price drop to $1000 it would be a very attractive option if I were interested in...

I can't afford it (really) and my wife will kill me if I get it BUT......... My local Fender dealer has a Fender Japan manufactured pink paisley telecaster (the reissue ) I've always wanted a paisley and this is the first time I've seen one for sale locally. The salesman (here we go) claims that...

I have a made in China Telecaster clone that was a present from my wife. It has decent action and isn't too bad of a guitar for the most part. It's neck pickup sucks though and needs to be changed. I'm looking for vintage telecaster tone as I play alot of old school (think Buck Owens era)...

If you have fret buzz at 12th fret or higher its common for the problem to be the neck is angled backwards too far. Thats the problem my tele had. I put the shim on the headstock side of the neck pocket to angle the neck forward a little. I put the shim right between the 2 screws that are...

I'd replace the shims with brass. I had to reverse shim a cheap telecaster that was a birthday present a while back. The only shim material I had at the time was old picks. I used a thin Fender pick. (.10 thou) It got rid of the high register fret buzz alright but there was a NOTICIBLE loss of...

I like the winter classic alot! Something confused me about this one though. I thought Huet played for Chicago, not Detroit?

OOps, didn't notice that other thread, Thanks! And yeah I suppose the boots could get me thru a gig!:rotflmao:

I'm wondering what awesome presents everyone got for Christmas? Did you get what you wanted? I guess I should start the list. I don't really need anything so I just asked the wife for a planet waves guitar strap for a old guit. I've had forever. She got me a pair of work boots instead:thwap...

Anyone else like dogs as much as our family does? We have a 10 year old English springer spaniel, a 5 year old German Shepherd female, and a 1 year old male German Shepherd (he's almost 120 lbs!) Heres a pic of our male GSD.Yeah he's sitting in a tree. Apparently my other pics are too big to...

I chose Woodstock. 'cause if I was there (again?) I'd get to check out all the other artists too! "starts chant" : no rain, no rain, no rain ,no rain............
