It's been a busy weekend, sorry it's a short clip I'll record some more when I can get a little more time. This is an SG, a Vox AC10, guitar lead, a mains cable and a pair of mics on a tripod into an R24. Amp Gain 9 O'clock, Volume 12 O'clock, Reverb 10 O'clock, bass and treble set 12 O'clock...

Been invited a number of Jam sessions at a small venue at short notice lately. Didn't take long to realise I was a bit thin on grab and go options where I can walk into the venue with a guitar case in one hand and an amp in the other, then simply plug and play. Got this little Vox AC10C1...

I don't which variations there are, mine are black bottom versions. I got three other Stats including an AVRI 59, Another loaded with fat 50's and the Abby pickups just sound sweeter than the others.

Currently 27, number 28 arrives tomorrow, gave one away a few months ago to someone down on their luck, other than that I have never parted with one hence I now have a selection. Edit: Number 28 is safely home. 2012 custom shop deluxe strat. Played maybe twice and left in its case by the...

Congrats, great to see new life breathed into an old guitar. I'm glad I read this post as it got me thinking about a guitar that has been on my wall for over 20 years. It's a great sounding instrument but needs a really good set up for it to play well, so I haven't bothered with it. I think I...

Well antichef, personally I'm loving the first tele I bought and wish I'd got one years ago. And as for the country assumption with the thinline, I scoured the UK for something out of the ordinary, drove a lot of miles and played a shed full. Having been totally chuffed with the deluxe, I wanted...

I now have my Telecaster, I got it today and really appreciate all the thoughts posted here while I was pondering which one to buy. I finally decided to go with the solid body Deluxe. I wanted single coils as I have a lot of guitars with humbuckers already, I also decided that the push button...

I've made my choice. Having played more than I can remember I've settled on the American deluxe solid body as opposed to the initial thinline fancy. I pick it up on Sat 1st August so will post my thoughts once I've lived with it a bit. It was a combination of sound and finish, mine will be...

notCardio, thank you, yes I have a couple of hollow body guitars with humbuckers, I use a 335 and have cheaper one with flatwounds on. I also have a couple of humbucker loaded guitars with coil tap. I'm a bit of a guitar junkie, so having a varietyof instruments to lay my hands on is already...

Thanks Guys, as I said my knowledge of Tele's is pretty limited. After reading through the replies here so far I've got a fair bit of choice to consider. I've explored the links supplied here, and googled the remainder and now I'm beginning to appreciate the vast array of variants that are...

I'm looking to buy a Telecaster over the next month or two mainly for studio use. That said I still want an instrument which looks like it needs to be played as opposed to something utilitarian in appearance. I'm thinking thinline, perhaps I'm heading up the wrong path. I'm certainly thinking...

I don't how controllable other brands of amp with midi are with a laptop, but the H&K GM36 is certainly able to be used in that way. In fact the H&K will soon have the option of a Wi-Fi add on which plugs in to the midi port allowing full control using a PC, Apple, or Android device. Like some...

Just settling new strings prior to going out to play. Well chuffed with the guitar.

Cheers Broken_H, It's an Ibanez Talman. Not an expensive guitar but well worth the money. I think it's Ash on the top. I wanted a compact plug in acoustic but didn't want a piezo pickup as I have that option on other guitars, the mag works great. This fitted the bill perfectly as it plays really...

I've now had a chance to do a basic set up on the second Strat. Like the HSS it needed some major adjustment although this time it was because the action was way too low. Having got the HSS pretty close to ideal for my playing style I pretty much replicated all the measurements on the FSR...
