I know where one can be had for €700 today

I was looking at the fretboard height to the body which I thought was less than normal - looks like they ran the strings very close to the body. The base for the bridge looks a little unusual to me and I wondered whether that was because they were trying to recess it. Maybe, it's called a "hyp...

There are plenty of simple £250ish all tube amps should you want one: Orange Tiny Terror Vox Night Train Epiphone Valve Junior Bugera V5 Marshall Class 5 Laney Lionheart VHT Special 6 That VHT is likely to be shite, Fryette took the majority of his designs with him + didn't have any input on that ...

Well I've owned tons, and my father has as well... combined we've had some real gems... he even had a '74 Les Paul custom and a '62 Fender Strat... tons of Gibson semi-hollow bodies. He once gave me a light bust ES-125 from the early 60s, it was awesome. just like this one http://www.archtop.com/Pag...

I wouldn't see why...

Others have burried pickups under pickguards before, I can't imagine a thin maple veneer would be that much more dense?

I have my heart set on a 360/12 with toaster pickups but I don't have £2k floating around :( http://www.rondomusic.net/photos/electric/harm3semi2tstoast5.jpg a touch neck heavy but sounds excellent, and only $360, i loooove mine Keep looking, last year I bought a black Rickenbacker 360 off a guy o...

I went in looking for one of these



There's another shop, a bigger one, that stocks them as well. I will go out tomorrow and see if I can find one

They tend to vary from model to model. http://www.rondomusic.com/photos/electric/callistogd1.jpg http://www.rondomusic.com/photos/electric/ngg1stdbobk1.jpg I quite like that SX does some goofy models just for good times http://www.rondomusic.com/photos/electric/hawkmnmhna1.jpg http://www.rondomusic...

If I could get a kit where the maple top wasn't already bound on I might go for it...

I wish someone local to me had these guitars. I hear they're great for the low price and i've only had the chance to play a tele styled one. Great guitar, felt and sounded like a tele should! I'd be keen on picking up a les paul styled one, especially the Agile ones are really good sans pickups. Th...

One of the best amps I ever owned was a Vox Viscount Solid State... just sayin'

Personally, if someone told me the pedals I make amounted to nothing more than resistors, caps and a metal case I would be more than a little disillusioned. The circuit design itself has worth. it sure does. However, if I am gonna pay over €1000 for an amp I'd want it to be perfect out fo the box...

Yeah, obviously there's more to it Mike I was being facetious, toungue and cheek advice.

http://www.gumtree.com/london/06/51976106.html buy this because I can't

Mesa makes great stuff, but I can't justify spending £600 on it Would be a a hell of a lot better than a RI Bassman at €1299 :wink: Its true that a lot of wankers use mesas to sound like wankers but they do sound good, no doubt about it in my mind. Some of my favourite amps are mesas, particular...

So over lunch I went to a store here in Dublin that sells these SX guitars, they had tons of them. I went in to buy some pedals and check out the guitars... I was looking for a 335, Les Paul Jr., or anything else that might have caught my eye. They only had one 335, they wanted €171 for but it did...

http://stetsbar.com/gallery/LP.Hyperspeed.htm Found this when i was looking for horrible accoustics in google's image search This was a prototype Midi guitar made by Gibson in the 80s. They came stung up with all B strings. I think it's sexy as hell, if there was a pezio pickup that didn't sound hor...

not to go off topic but speaking of horrible acoustics

super all the way! i'm not a fan of the reissues but they sound ok if you replace the speakers and the tubes. and, twins are much better if you put high gain 12ax7s in 'em. I'm finding this out the hard way with my 65 DRRI. Decent amp but badly needs a speaker / tube change. If you're gonna end up ...
