MIJ RG470. $200 prefered local to DC/VA/MD right now.

gibson has been plecking guitars at random (well not exactly random, but some of them in need) and my LP Satin Ebony was plecked according to a tech i took it to. just thought i would throw that out there. I don't know if thats true. Also, Gibson wasn't using a PLEK process in 04 when I was made, from what I know. I also wouldn't know how a tech would know that from looking at a guitar. Back on topic I LOVE the ebony board, wish they were on more guitars.

I don't even think you need to boost it. Turn up BOTH gain and volume. On that channel you can get the "power tube distortion" by turning up the volume and gain, then you can set master where you want it.

I really like my studio. Got someone in my area to PLEK it and it plays amazing with great action. The pickups are good if they are your thing. The 498t in the bridge is awesome with some gain behind it.
