Re: Thoughts on Lambertones and Lollars

Another fan of Lollar imperials here… I think they nail the vintage, lower-wound humbucker tone. And as above, they work well when the coils are split too.

Re: When you dislike your own music?

This topic interests me. I've always had this sense that I should be writing music - I've done a fair bit of parts of songs, and actually finished a few. But the only outlet I've really completed songs for is electronic where a few main motifs go a long way. And I've got to a point where I need to ...

Re: NGD: 1975 Guild f50r

Huge congratulations Ant. Looks fantastic and from how you describe the sound you got a good one. :-) I think you nailed it in terms of the ‘headroom’ description above. These guitars have that in spades. They are favoured by some recording studios—(along with the smaller Guild 12 string) for their ...

Re: Modern guitars with baseball bat necks

I played an old Italian guitar with a stupidly large baseball bat neck and loved it, but it was a bit rubbish otherwise. Are there any low/mid-range modern options that I might find in the guitar shops here that aren't more than $2k? Maybe get a generic tele and replace the neck... is that what peo...

Re: What's on your work bench?

My first thought was: double pots! Did you make both a 250k and 500k tone circuit???

Re: acoustic search USA (san fran/santa cruz)

Have permission to hit one or two guitar stores in san fran upon arrival next week. Will then be in santa cruz for two weeks. Guitar centre san fran looks like a good bet. Also like the look of 'real guitars' (more high end vintage stuff tho) Id like to find a simple workhorse used acoustic. Martin...

This amp sounds fantastic!
Yes, it really is impressive. Two completely different channels that totally nail a genre. I think they may know a thing or two about how best to record such an amp also ;-)

I sanded back. Nitro sands off quickly.
Yes I'm sure it does, and it has a very low flash point too. :sarc: And the vapours are not good for you.

Re: The Acoustic Thread

I'm Gassing for a Nylon crossover acoustic electric; pretty limited field, especially in NZ. Obviously there's the Lowden Jazz but thought I'd check out Goodall. I've only met a couple of Goodalls but one of them is in my thoughts almost every day. And yes, they do one! https://reverb.com/item/6696...
