Here's my new Welch WG-65 LP copy. Honeyburst plain top (I'd been GASing for a plain top). Made in China, presumably. Mahogany body and neck, 5/8" maple cap, rosewood fretboard, bone nut. Weighs in at a robust 11 pounds (oh my showwwldah!). I had to intonate it (treble strings wouldn't stay in...

I have an opportunity to buy a Randall RT-30 two-channel 2x12 tube amp (apparently similar design to a Matchless or Vox AC-30) which is not working. I asked if the amp powered on and if he knew what was wrong with the amp. He told me the following: and it was damaged at an outdoor gig when an...

A lot of us have seen videos of this kid before. He is amazing. And what a great tune to cover!

I had been wanting a black/maple Strat for awhile (thinking either Gilmour's black strat or Blackie), and saw a Craigslist posting for a black/maple Squier Standard on Craigslist. He was asking $65 with a gig bag and Randall practice amp, which I didn't need. In email, the seller said that the...

Does anyone have any opinions on Squier Standard Strats from the early 2000s? I have an opportunity to pick one up cheap. I've wanted a Gilmour-esque black strat for awhile now and this one is black with maple fretboard. The seller says it needs some TLC/setup but said that the frets are good...

I haven't been around here much lately and haven't posted. Hopefully this is new to you folks. Sweet Revenge for a Broken Guitar A musician named Dave Carroll recently had difficulty with United Airlines. United apparently damaged his treasured Taylor guitar ($3500) during a flight...

I have an Amazon gift card to use and of course I figured I'd use it toward an inexpensive guitar. I was considering either a Jay Turser tele (I've never owned a Tele style) and then came across this semi-hollowbody (never owned one of those either)...

Hi guys. I just logged in for the first time in awhile, having recently moved from CT to Worcester, MA. Getting settled in the new house here (haven't hung up the guitars yet or set up the music room). This city gets a bad rap it seems, but I think I'm going to like it here. Does anyone have any...

I really love this slim-neck Agile, but find that I prefer a plain top to a flame top. The guitar is in mint condition and has been babied, not gigged. All stock. The only thing I changed was the plastic cap on the toggle switch. If you have one of these babies, you know how well they play. Just...

I understand that these were low-end Japanese knockoffs produced in the 1970s and 1980s but have little information beyond that. I found a Vibra Strat with natural finish that appears to be in pretty good condition. The headstock is Fender-shaped. I haven't seen or played it and wonder if it's...

I'd like to ask you folks how you manage to keep up with many of the discussions on The Fret (or any other board, for that matter). When I log in, it can be difficult for me to get a good overview, with the multiple subforums. Granted, I hadn't been logging in much over recent months, but still...

I just picked up this Austin (cheap Chinese Strat copy) last week through Craigslist ($50 with a TKL hard case). She plays really nicely (after I adjusted the action and intonation). I am thinking of changing the bridge pickup to a humbucker-sized P90 or something to that effect (probably...

This may be old hat to many of you folks, but I thought that I would throw it out there. I typically use a bit of graphite to lubricate the nut slots in my Strat. Last week, I used a bit of vaseline in the nut slots and the underside of the string tree. WOW. I was pretty surprised when jamming...

I've got a Traynor Reverb Master (50 watt, 4 x 10) beast that I scored awhile back in a thrift shop. It's a really, really loud amp, and sounds great, but fact is that I don't play it often, and it's not something that I'd want to carry around (heavy). I usually play through my silverface Champ...
