Members brianeharmonjr Posted April 20, 2012 Members Share Posted April 20, 2012 Just got back from the Adrian Belew clinic at Sweetwater and they had an Excelsior in their showroom. Didn't get a chance to play through it, but it sure looks cool. I hope to try one out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tool Shedd Posted April 20, 2012 Members Share Posted April 20, 2012 any one got hands on a schematic for this thing? This guy is working on one... http://billmaudio.com/wp/?page_id=1203 the site has good guts shots of one. Looks very simple with lots of space for modding.

Members brianeharmonjr Posted April 20, 2012 Members Share Posted April 20, 2012 AWESOME! Awesome indeed! He played a couple new and unrecorded pieces that were just incredible. He was playing along with pitch-shifted delays like it was the easiest thing you could do. He's pretty incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cobalt Blue Posted April 20, 2012 Members Share Posted April 20, 2012 Uh-Oh: Is this an MF Site Problem Or Is the Excelsior No More? The scheduled delivery date had been 4/20 for the longest time, but a day ago, when I checked, the date had been moved back to 7/16. Here's a screenshot of today's Excelsior page at MF: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cobalt Blue Posted April 20, 2012 Members Share Posted April 20, 2012 maybe MF is just sold out of stock.... Perhaps, but I didn't think that they ever had them in stock, and the page says that the product has been discontinued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hipster Posted April 20, 2012 Members Share Posted April 20, 2012 Sweetwater and World Music Supply show the Excelsior in stock. MF and their sister stores had website screw ups yesterday showing ALL guitars as discontinued. Hopefully, their July arrival date for the Excelsior is a mistake also.

Members Cobalt Blue Posted April 21, 2012 Members Share Posted April 21, 2012 MF's site has the Excelsior listed again. It was, indeed, an error.http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifiers-effects/fender-pawn-shop-special-excelsior-13w-1x15-tube-guitar-combo-amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tool Shedd Posted April 21, 2012 Members Share Posted April 21, 2012 Sweetwater and World Music Supply show the Excelsior in stock. I don't think World Music Supply actually has them, I ordered one from them as soon as they had it listed in January and it hasn't shipped yet. Their site has always listed it as "Typically ships in 3-5 days" and it has been 3 months so far. They were giving an extra $42 off (and a free 10' guitar cable) when I ordered so I can wait...

Members waxbytes Posted April 21, 2012 Members Share Posted April 21, 2012 Perfect pitch is the ability to toss an accordion into a dumpster without hitting the sides. Perfect pitch is tossing an accordian into the dumpster and hearing it land on the banjo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
