Re: lower output p90

Turn the volume down on the guitar and treble up on the amp. That is how P90's should be. That's what I do for years. Could never quite understand the treble bleed mod that everyone was going on about back in the previous decade. I generally set all vol and tone to 5, then adjust the amp to suit. T...

I associate the Telecaster with Ed Bickert and Bill Frisell.
So many for this one. Haggard, Paisley, Lange, Richards, Springsteen, Danny Gatton, Andy Summers...
Or indeed any member of the Hellecasters. Glad to see Lange get a namecheck at last.

Re: The Gibson Les Paul Model thread

Hey, ignore the two on the left as they're home made but the others are a 14 R9 in Sunrise Teaburst which looks more like honey burst in person and the far right is a 92 Classic Plus which is my first Gibson and I got it from Ian Morris from the Dudes so its a bit of a special one for me.

Second time listed I think
Price is up there ….
I really like vintage white finishes. But yeah, it is an eye-watering price.

Re: Eastman D'Ambrosio Series

For some reason I can’t open that link, but my El Rey Eastman has the D’Ambrosio name on it. I think he has been designing guitars for Eastman for a while. I really like those new Romeo and Juliet models.

Re: The Gibson Les Paul Model thread

Had these for years, not much has changed. 2000 LP Standard in a red flame type finish I brought from someone (Danny?) on here quite a few years back, and a 2008 LP Studio Faded. The Studio currently has some EMG's fitted, 81/89 TW set with push/pull etc from memory. Haven't really decided if the o...

Re: VHNGD - '72 Strat

If I’m not wrong I think 300k are generally known to sound a bit on the dark side. Well, I either do remember reading that somewhere or I’ve made it up Higher resistance pots usually leads to brighter toans :thumbup: This is true. I have a drop in set with 300k pots.

Re: VHNGD - '72 Strat

I just love old Strats in that colour. Nice one Molly.

It was not uncommon for parts used in Fender’s assembly line to bear serial numbers from different years. So it could even be all original if they are close.

Re: Definitely a guitar thread not keyboard related

I picked up a Korg G1 afew years ago. I really like it. Good piano sounds, built in speakers that are not naff, and a really nice hammer-action keyboard. Just turn it on and play. Again, I really don't know what I'm doing with keyboards, but I really like this piano. And when I want to use it with m...
