I am a pretty big egnater fan. if you are into garage punk/rock tones check out the rebel 20 by egnater. i have both the rebel 20 and the renegade and i would say the rebel 20 has a *slightly* better raunchy distorted sound than the renegade) I have heard that the rebel 30 sounds a bit...

See if you can find a YGL-3A Mark III to play through. i came across one of these in a music store and it had some of the nicest cleans i have heard and a decent reverb and tremelo if i recall. They wanted 650 and a google search showed that some of these have gone for as little as $400. So now...

There are a bunch of amps out now with a "record out" option, some with a built in load so they don't need a speaker. The Egnater Rebel 30 for instance, great sounding tube amp with a silent record out., Your guitar player can get all the amp-tone he wants, and the line out will sound really...

If you do a search there have been a few good threads on ISO boxes. My 2 cents is to skip it. I tried to build one and although it served the function, it didn't do it well. The low frequencies would boom around and not stay isolated very well and the sound was never the same as if i were...

Check Egnater Rebel 30. Switchable, record out with cabinet simulator (I have a renegade with similar record out, and it sounds really good) that can record silently. I'm a big fan of all these Egnater options and have a Rebel 20 and the Renegade head. They have a great amount of flexibility...

I borrowed one for a while and basically hated it. Really uncomfortable to play for me with the tiny body, I never felt like i could play naturally. Your mileage might vary, but if you play it for ten mins you could probably tell whether you would be able to deal with it or not. Daav

Thanks Zaphod. There are waaaay too many forums for me to keep track of, but this looks perfect. Daav

Hey all, i have had the rebel 20 for about 4 months now and i really like it. It has a great range of tones, but I would say that only one or two that i have dialed in really nail a great tone and it can get muddy, especially when pushed with a powerful humbucker. I am trying to get down to one...

if it is for practice, then what does it matter? Sounds like you are a little concerned with what is the "right" song. When you start recording you are putting yourself out there a bit and that can be nerve wracking, people WILL judge you by what you record, since you are putting your creativity...

http://guitar-music-theory.com/ this is a pretty good theory page that gives you what you need to know. Don't sweat it at first, learn some chords and learn a few songs, and go from there, but then come to something like that after a bit and see if it doen' tall fit a bit better. Daav

Thanks for all the opinions, i think i can live with the little dings i have, but i might have one or two that want to put out for resale and wanted to get them in as presentable condition as possible. Dave

Is it possible to do anything to fix or reduce the impact of small dings on a guitar body? I am thinking about small dents. I know that in woodworking you can use steam or other moist heat options that can sometimes help these, but I wonder if it would work on a guitar body that is already...

couple more as well...

OK, if i did this correctly, there should be a photo attached of the guitar, and my late 80's CIJ strat (bill lawrence PUPs), and the MIM jaxx bass (fralin PUPS) as well. You can see the case that came with the SG, but not the original case that he threw in as well, which is in great shape too...

Here is a +1 for obsessively watching craigslist. Scored a 93 SG Standard in excellent condition (maybe 3 small (less than a quarter inch) dings on the body, nothing through the finish) SG in heritage cherry for $500. Apparently my message came in literally one minute before the next person's...
