Years ago I did my own changes , but the car was older and I was younger ! Seems every time I attempt something under the hood I end up bleeding somewhere . I don't want to jeopardize my guitar time because I've slashed one of my fingers . Learned the hard way .

In the mid '70s I loaned my '57 Esquire to a good friend , a guy who inspired me to play guitar and was in my first band . RIP Greg . More recently I loaned a 2004ish Strat and a Peavey amp . My friend's grandson bought the Strat and I got the Peavey back . Just gotta use good judgement ...

I'm not too picky . Standard .009 sets . Fender , GHS , Ball , D'addario for Tele , Strat , Gretsch , Epi , Gibby . Everything .

Absolutely !

As much as I love tort , I chose rw with cream . Really like that combo with that body .

My assumption when these came out was that the bodies were alder ( ash ? ) With walnut stain . Right ? Wrong ? I dunno !

I have both , I was using the BJ , then discovered the PJ . I gigged with the PJ , an early tweed one , for years . They are both 15 watt Fenders, but tonally not the same . While the PJ has such a sweet spot at about 12:00 , the BJ might better suit the OP because it does have a master volume ...

I have a Little Giant, and a Night Train , and while I love the NT at 15 watts it seems to lose something when I knock the power down . As far as the Little Giant goes , it is a great low power amp with the right tubes . I used it for years in our band rehearsal room , a couple pedals and it is...

I did this with my Esquire back in the '70s , it was ok but I still used the bridge pup the most . This Esquire had been used a lot and abused a little ! By the late '70s I had it restored and removed the Strat pup . This Esquire sounds so good , it doesn't need a neck pup , never missed it ...

I have a Reverend as well , a Sensei Jr , with a single P90 . Kind of the poor man's LP Jr . It is one of the lightest guitars I own , plays great , sounds great . I don't know what music you're into , but the lightest guitar I ever gigged with was an early 2000s Fender Telecoustic . There...

I just ordered a set to try out , gonna put them on my '76 black beauty of course ! I finished all my leftover Halloween candy so a little treat from Sweetwater will be welcome too !

So true , Bassmans have been coveted by guitarists for decades ! I recently took a blond Bassman out of hibernation that I bought in 1980 because I thought the blonds were just so cool looking . I took it to my tech and he re capped it and turns out it is a 6g6 circuit , tube rectified . I had...

I would hazard to say that Neil's sound is as much a result of his amplification as the guitar he may be playing . That , plus he's just so damn good ! I think many of us seek out " our sound " when switching guitars too .

Please keep it as it is ! It would be a crime to rout a cavity in that beautiful guitar !!
