  1. What I don't understand is why do people on forums hate everything?
  2. Playing gigs covers my house payment. Therefore my "faith" is restored on a monthly basis.
  3. I don't really know much about rectifiers, sag, bright caps, etc... All I know is that sounds EXCELLENT!
  4. I can't remember what model but Gibson put out a Les Paul with an MSRP of like 8000. That was specific to a finish too. You could get the same guitar in a different finish for a few thousand dollars less. You've made a solid point with your incredibly vague post.
  5. Whoa, hold on there, this forum isn't for saying things that make sense, it's for blind accusations, blanket statements, and general bitching. You take your common sense elsewhere, sir. I know right... what was he thinking lol
  6. I'm not at all knowledgeable on the specs like Doctor Morbius is... But I have a really nice 2010 MIM Standard Tele and a couple of REALLY nice 2011 American Standard Teles. The pickups that came in the MIM were hotter and darker. Too dark. I replaced them immediately with a set of Fender OV Tele pickups. And that's the only mod I've done to it. It's great now! As far as I can tell..... my MIM is very close in quality. Doesn't sound quite as sweet as the USAs.... but very close. A couple months ago I was about to buy a really nice Lake Placid Blue MIM Standard Strat.... but it had sharp fret ends and the American Special Strat hanging next to it sounded and played much nicer. However...... last week I did a setup on a 2009 MIM Standard Strat - rosewood board. At first it played like total crap! Too much relief and high action. But after I worked my magic on it (tightened truss rod, shimmed the neck, polished the frets, treated the fretboard with Fret Doctor, set intonation, nut lube.) it played like a $2000 guitar. Seriously! That thing was awesome!! I almost hated to give it back to the guy I did it for.
  7. Oh yeah...... I had a DSL 100 Marshall head on there for $500. And I Digitech GSP1101 with Control 1 foot controller for $475. 1 or two lowball offers. But nothing serious. So I just hooked that stuff up and started jammin' through it and realized I didn't want to sell it anyway! {censored} sounds great I'm keepin' it!!
  8. Holy {censored}, do you still have my old MG? Yep! In fact ... in my post I was gonna say "The MG I bought off Dewy...." even. I put Warehouse Speakers Veteran 30s in the cab. Run the head on the clean channel set on "crunch" mode. Hit it with a Tubescreamer. It sounds great! Clip of MG halfstack I bought off Dewy .
  9. How do you like the Peavey Classic? I found one locally for $200 and was wondering how they sounded/responded... I love it! It sounds amazing through the 1960AV cab. Only thing is ... its not as good for hard rock and metal as my Marshalls. But its excellent for classic rock. I love to put a Tubescreamer in front and keep the amp gain down. Really awesome rich tones for blues, southern rock, R&B, country, and some classic rock... I could very well be wrong... but I'm convinced it sounds as good as any boutique amp out there. I need to make a YouTube clip.
  10. In this economy you're lucky anything is selling.
  11. Wow. I love the pickups in the Squier '51s. I wouldn't dream of changing them. Squier '51 > Tubescreamer > Peavey Classic 50 4x10 =
  12. I think few people would argue that if you played 10 or 20 LP's, that all would be "the same". So ordering online is a bit of a gamble. Sometimes the differences are subtle enough that unless you are comparing, you don't realize... one feels much better in your hand, or has a better top, or sounds different or "better" to you than the others. That being said, there have been many people who have ordered online, or bought one used online that have received them, and been very happy. What's your personality? The "pickier" you are, the more you need to go try a bunch! M I've ordered several Epiphones and 2 Gibsons and they've all been 100% keepers!
  13. Congrats! I hope you're able to enjoy that guitar for many years to come! There's nothing like a sweet Gibson Les Paul! I have a 2006 Ice Tea Burst Standard and I love it!
