    Lollars or el Capistan??????

    I have a set of N3 Noiseless in there now. Not bad pickups, but they seem a bit muddy/muffled to me. Looking for something a bit hotter, but still articulate.

    Lollars or el Capistan??????

    I have a Nova Delay. Just looking for a better tape delay sound. I should have been a bit more clear. Thanks for reply.

    Lollars or el Capistan??????

    Ran into a little Christmas cash and trying to decide between a set off Lollars ( Royal T neck, Special T Bridge) and an El Capistan delay. What say you?

    Get Your Plek On,,,,,

    Amazing improvement in playability! Definitely worth the the 3 hour drive and investment. First up was my 2013 American Special. I have made several upgrades to this guitar including Callaham compensated saddles, Dimarzio Chopper T in bridge and Twang King in the neck. Once strapped in to...

    Richie Kotzen vs American Deluxe

    I have the Chopper T and Twang King in my American Special. To me, it still sounds like a Tele , but with a little bit more low end in the bridge. However, It can still get quite bright. The Twang King is my favorite neck pickup. I think it sounds more Strat like. It handles OD well...

    New Callaham Saddles

    This is my second set. Couldn't be happier with their looks and functionality. Especially like that the saddle adjustment screws are short and very smooth on top.

    Get Your Plek On,,,,,

    Thanks everyone. I've thoroughly enjoyed the discussion. I'm looking for a Shop that offers a Plek in Southern WV or South East Ky. Anybody have any idea where I can get a Plek job done?

    Get Your Plek On,,,,,

    Anybody had their geetar Plek'd? Was it worth it? I'm not interested in a debate about a good setup vs a computer. Just interested in hearing from those who have had their instrument Plek'd. Go.

    Drive pedals for AC15 Hardwired

    I've been using a Tim, which covers 2 gain stages for me (using the Boost). I recently picked up a JHS Moonshine that I use for higher gain. Great pedal for this amp. I really like the AC15HW and the Normal channel. It just takes pedals well, especially with the Master Volume bypassed and the...

    Wah with a light?

    Is there a wah that has an on/off light? I've had trouble on stage making sure my wah pedal (Vox) is on. I use it in a couple of songs where it is half cocked and I've been caught with it off when I thought it was on. Thanks for the suggestions.

    65 DRRI Rattle problem...

    When I crank the amp over 5 using the neck pickup of my Tele, I get a horrible rattle noise that sounds like it is coming from the speaker. It is more pronounced when I play a B on the low E string. Oddly enough it sounds just fine when using the bridge pickup. Any ideas what's going on...

    Tuning, nut question.

    Never had this happen before, and I've put 11's on plenty if Teles. In gonna try using my wound G string to file the slot. Is there an angle I should follow to maintain the proper string break?

    Tuning, nut question.

    I use 11's on my Teles. On a recent guitar I purchased I have noticed that tuning the high E is problematic. When I turn the tuner, it does very little to the string tension and then I can hear the string make a "pop" noise at the nut and then there is a change in the tuning. Is the string...

    My wife and Joanne Fabric saved my gig!!!!

    My EB Jr volume pedal was not working properly. Something was causing the pedal to not go to full volume -like the spring was too tight and pulling it back. So I brought it home to work on it Saturday hoping to get it fixed before my Sunday gig. I watched a few YouTube vids and decided I was...

    Two amps,,,,stereo?

    Much appreciated! No worries about derailing the thread. It's been a good read. I think I learned something. I guess it's ok to derail my own thread,,, just wondering if it's worth it to have my new 65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue re-biased. I've read a couple of threads suggesting that the amp...

    Two amps,,,,stereo?

    Wow! I went to work and I had 4 responses to this thread. Came home from work and we're on page 2. Thanks for all the discussion regarding stereo. Let me rephrase my question. I'm wondering if there is a benefit to running these two amps together,,,,blended? These two amps will be off stage...
