    Fender Nashville Power Telecaster

    Acoustic pickups I put a Dean Markley piano black Pro Mag Something, full humbucker sound hole pickup in my Samick Jumbo acoustic and played it just for fun thru my little Marshall MG15CDR that has a real mini reverb tank and a closed back. It sounded fantastic, but I was using one of my...

    Anyone swapped a Squier Tele pickguard?

    Pickguard Great idea. My Squire Standard is Walnut stain with a black pickguard. I don't care for the white pickguards on many colors, but they look good on white guitars like my Deluxe Squire. I also like black pearl or shell pickguards. I put one on a Squire black strat and it looks...

    Changed strings

    Changes I know when I ned to change strings, usually, because one or more string will sound off and chords won't ring true. Lots of times it is only one string, like the G string. It will sound dull and not blend in. I try to change strings fairly often so the guitars sound right. Also...

    Anyone know how thick the Maple cap on the Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus top is?

    Yo F4Dphantom2 Yo Phontom, Can you imagine a phantom made out of cardboard? That would be equivalent to a high class company like Epiphone using contact paper on their Plus top LP's. It just isn't a serious comment and must have been a joke. Actually Epiphone LP Standard Plus Tops are...

    Fender Nashville Power Telecaster

    Nashville That has to be an awesome guitar. I have two stereo guitars with piezo bridge pups: a great and expensive Schecter C1 E/A with two Seymour Duncan humbuckers, super strat style, a '59 in the neck and a JB in the bridge, I had the tone pot changed to the one that you can get lots of...

    Agile 3000 3100

    I have had a great interest in a nice Agile LP for years. Anyone have any advice on the 3000 3100 models? They have some nice ones right now including a Tribal Green one and the specs look good. Since I haven't owned an Agile my questions is to those who have and how they feel, sound. and...

    GFS Pickups?

    Pups I sometimes roll with GFS pups; but, I really feel that it is definitely worth the money to spend the extra money and get quality pups like SD's. I love SD's. I like a SD '59 in the neck and a JB in the bridge. Very hot pickups. I have also noticed that some of my guitars, Peavey...

    Behringer Gm110 V-tone Amp

    Gm110 Just recently had mine stolen along with my Fender Hwy one fat strat and brand new Gibson SG faded. Know who did it and threw him out 0f my house and got a protection order against him: my nephew, to use the term without value. He assaulted me on the way out and I pressed charges on...

    Peavey Classic or Valveking?

    Peavey amph The Classic Thirty and the Delta Blues, like I have, are built in Mississipi. The Valve King is built way cheaply in China and is not nearly a comparable amp. The VK design is probably disposable, whereas the USA made amphs will probably fixable for as long as we will be...

    AD30VT - loud hum for first 10 minutes

    Vox Those Vox Chromies have been known to have a lot of problems, probably because they are so extremely sophisticated. Possibly the new version has addressed the main concerns in regard to performance and reliability. I have a Fender Super Champ XD modelling amp that has an actual tube...

    Need an intervention

    Bass pickups Marnold, I have had very good luck with Seymour Duncan pickups in general and notice a difference between them and GFS pups for instance. I should have bought hot SD quarter pounders for my P bass instead of the hot GFS pups which are okay and a big improvement over the stock...

    Soon to be a new Daddy! Epi G-400 on the way!

    Viper I have the Epiphone SG, the '66 Gibson Standard copy. It is awesome. I also have the Viper fifty, inexpensive SGish copy. The Epiphone is a nicer guitar and sounds great and is fancy with lots of nice details; but the Viper fifty is inexpensive and has hot pickups and is a great guitar...

    Anthem Guitars

    Thanks Thanks Anthem man for posting to the forum. Plenty of us here really appreciate getting some "real" information direct from the source. Believe me, it is much appreciated. Thanks for taking a little time out for us and sharing. Duffy Winfield, Pa.

    Soon to be a new Daddy! Epi G-400 on the way!

    Name Heywood, I don't know man, my '66 EPi SG copy of a Gibson has the SG nametag right on the truss rod cover and is an authorized by Gibson issue. To me it is an SG and it is really nice trans cherry with nice details not to mention great pickups and feel. I also just bought a Gibson SG...

    Need advice on a rondo tele

    I would not hesitate to roll with the SX. I would not hesitate to roll with the SX. I have three SX guitars; two sst strats and a copy of a Gibson LP Special with two P ninety pickups, solid mahogany with set mahogany neck. I'm playing the P ninety right now. A beautiful antique burst flat...

    Gibson SG Question, simple

    Another question. The Faded brown SG has Gibson open coil humbuckers that sound really good, seriously. I want to solder on some metal covers, nickel plated or maybe even black chrome or chrome. When I do this should I put tape around the inside of the sides of the metal covers to eliminate...

    Strat tone

    Disconnected bridge pup wire Most likely it is a broken wire going from the bridge pickup to the five way switch or the ground. Easy fix, even if you have to pay a tech - plus you could have him solder it back onto the switch so that the bass tone control will control the bridge pickup, a...

    Just wondering, what type of music is your main thing?

    Type of music I enjoy listening to rock most. As far as playing goes I have been playing blues for many years and really enjoy getting into the blues groove. It gives me a chance to express my personal blues I guess and delve into the intricacies of my personal reality; close my eyes and get...

    What could be wrong with this AD30VT?

    Chromie Kazz, So you didn't get the one with the known volume problem? That would be a good move, these amps have a tendency to be problematic but they are awesome amps. I'd like to get one myself. Did you get an AD30VT or the bigger one? I'm sure you will be happy if it works great. Do...

    SX tele?

    SX tele I have a great desire to pick up an SX tele. They look great and have the classic look. The new stock at Rondomusic.com have a squirly looking headstock, not at all traditional, but are probably great guitars. The SX teles are built of solid alder, not plywood, have maple necks and...
