Oh OK. Thanks for sharing. I was just curious. 👍

What shop? I use a shop in France, IIRC, for parts because they have awesome prices called ADP Guitar Parts. But it usually takes longer than 25 hrs lol I got a Faber tailpiece foe like $40 plus $7 shipping or something. From France to the US! Since I usually don't need parts immediately, I can...

That's a good idea. One thing I did as a solution to me leaving my house and thinking I left the amp on was to use a wifi smart plug in the wall and them I plug my surge protector into that. This way, if I ever leave and wonder if I left my amp on, I can just cut power to the smart plug and it...

2023 Epiphone '59 Les Paul Dark Burst Aged. I'm not up on my Epiphone models so I'm not sure if it's Inspired By Gibson or whatever they do with the 'Gibson Custom Shop'. It has 1 scratch on it....and a couple of missing digits in the serial number. And it has the 'USED' stamp but I don't...

I just used a dot of super glue on mine and it holds them in. I had the same problem. I tried building up the walls of the holes with super glue and then decided to just try and glue it in on the 2nd hole lol. That was much easier and quicker. This was on a LP-style guitar with Gotoh tuners. I...

Yea I bought bias probes just for that very reason. It makes me super nervous working inside this amp. The Eurotubes EL84 probe I ordered for this amp came in the other day. So I checked plate current with that vs what I calculated and there isn't much difference. 4 or 5 mA I calculated around...

So I think the issue with my stereo pedals has something to do with how they're hooked up - with one jack going to the fx loop of amp #1 and the other going to the front of amp #2. If I run them both to the front of each amp, they operate correctly. The volumes aren't interactive. I can turn...

Thanks, all! Well, that didn't last long. I've already removed the blue amp jewel and blue silicone bulb cover that I installed previously. It seems that I inadvertently left the amp on Standby for around 4 hours in a DARK room and never even noticed it. From like 1 - 5am. So thats the end of...

Well maybe a dark burst IBG Les Paul body. Crossing my fingers that it's still there in the morning.

I started one of these at Strat Talk and a few other forums that ended up being pretty active. So I figured I'd try here. There isn't really a Lounge to talk about anything guitar-related and off-topic is off-topic. So I posted it here even though everything purchased won't be guitars only. It...

Lol you got that right. That is the main reason I ordered bias probes to take direct plate current measurements. It's much safer vs me trying to probe points inside an amp that's powered on. This way, all I have to do is use the probes for current and then take plate voltage to calculate plate...

Is that the hammer with the removable hammer heads? Mine came with black plastic, yellow plastic, brass, & aluminum heads. I used it ALLLLLL the time on everything lol. I would also suggest picking up 1 of 2 things. Or even both. Either an Ernie Ball Power Peg string winder or the...

Here it is finally! And permanently! 2024 Hot Rod Deluxe! Now with blue jewel instead of the stock red. The white bulb was too bright through the blue so I added a blue silicone bulb cover, as well. The last 2 pics are before and after the silicone bulb cover. On the left would be the former...

Picked this up around 6 weeks ago while it was on sale at AMS. I knew my bday was coming up and I wanted a new amp so I took a chance on this one without even playing through one first. 😮🤣 So its been put up for the last 6 weeks. My bday is in 4 hours(central time) so I figured it's finally...

Well this has gotten interesting. I bought some EL84 bias probes and returned them because they measured cathode current not plate current. Or it included screen current, not just plate current. So today, I did some measurements & calculations to figure out how my amp is biased. My...

Hmmm. 1000 pts for a pack. I'd possibly put the colored circles that represent the ball ends on my truck window but that'd be it. Again, 95% of people wouldn't know what they were and would likely assume it's related to LGBTFABCDEFGHIJK because of the rainbow colors. You'd have to know what...

Oh yea? I might have to try those. I had wanted to try some reinforced strings since my high E's always break at the ball end. One did yesterday. Then I ruined the one I got out to replace it when I kinked it on accident. I keep single 9s and 10s for just that reason. I learned that early on...

Hmmm. I wear my D'addario t-shirt that I got for free all the time. But the average person wouldn't know that since it only has the multi-piece 'D' on the front. So you'd have to know the logo to know it was D'addario. What sucks is D'addario freaking deleted my account after I ordered it...

Same as most days. The Sunburst Indio 66 DLX Plus. New bone nut a couple of weeks ago. It's got CTS 500k volume pots and 500k no load tone pots. A Seymour Duncan Antiquity neck pickup and Seth Lover bridge pickup. Faber reliced tailpiece and locking studs. Gotoh reliced ABR1 with Faber...

I have an EP Boost. Just a volume knob. I also have a Demon FX Dual Boost. It's an EP Boost and a Fortin 33 Boost in 1 pedal. Neither of those have tone knobs either. The 33 Boost does its own tone shaping in the circuit. It cuts A LOT of bass and modifies the signal quite a bit. It's...
