The Peavey amps I've played through/own don't sound anything like the Fender or Vox amps I've ever tried. In that, and short of actually trying one, I'll guess that a Peavey won't sound anything like a Mesa. :) Matt

I may have to give a Windsor a "spin," one of these days, but I've currently got my heart set on a Classic 50/410. I'd tried out a ValveKing 112 before plugging into the Classic 50/410, and realized I'm a bigger fan of clean tones at lower volumes, rather than lower volume distortion. That's...

If it had a Bigsby, I'd truly be jealous, otherwise I'm diggin' those P90s! :)

My 'Johnson' is probably bigger than yours. I own a JG-622-E acoustic/electric bass. :D

Ya might get a 4-way or 5-way switch, to replace the stock 3-way. With a 4-way switch, you'll be able to use both pickups either in series, or parallel. With a 5-way switch, you could do series and parallel switching, plus get a bit creative with some out of phase switching options. I have 4-way...

I own both an Epiphone Les Paul Jr. 90, and a Gibson Les Paul Faded Double Cutaway. When I get the chance, and I already have the parts - Bigsby B5 vibratos, Tune-O-Matic style roller bridges and Wilkinson EZ-Lok tuners - I'll be taking both Pauls to a shop for the bridge and tuner upgrades, and...

Here's a place that sells Fender Atomic Humbuckers... http://aampselectricguitarstore.com/fender_pickups/fender_atomic_humbucker.html Matt

I'm guessing this'd be more of a problem in bigger cities, with more radio stations competing for that bigger market? When I used to live in Indianapolis, I'd pick up a radio station through my Vox T25 bass combo. Been living in Connersville, IN again, for the past 6 years, and haven't even...

Should I go with the 20" or 24"? Do I really need to go for the processor upgrade, or would the standard 2.16GHz configuration suffice? What about the video card? Would the 128MB standard configuration be good enough for something that's primarily going to be used for recording/editing/mixing my...

Just a quick update, here. I finally got my means, and yesterday I ordered a Gibson Les Paul Faded Double Cutaway in Worn Cherry. :) Granted I probably "don't need" it, but...well...I suffer from G.A.S. :p Matt (G.A.S. = Guitar Acquisition Syndrome)

Okay, this question's fueled by CMT having a Hee Haw marathon. There's a particular, and peculiar (to me) Gibson that I've seen Roy play, other than a ES-335. The "peculiar" one is the same body type as the ES-335, but it has a dogeared P90 at the bridge, and what appears to be a Filter`Tron at...

I once thought I didn't need a Les Paul, and earlier this year bought an Ibanez JTK2 Jet King for the "solid body/dual humbuckers, but without the Les Paul price" factor. Then I turn around, late this summer (and totally on a whim) I ordered an Epiphone Les Paul Jr. 90 from Musician's Friend...

I'm seeing, and hearing (on the radio) this happen quite a bit, lately. What happened? Did somebody, somewhere along the line, repeal the laws against what's known as "bait and switch?" On the radio station I listen to at work, there's a music store that advertises "Fender Stratocasters from...

Well DUH on me! I saw one, at a Target store in Indy, this evening. When I saw the "by Fender" in smaller letters, I flashed back to a mention of the Starcaster by Fender at the Surf Guitar 101 forums. Is 37 too young for CRS to be kicking in? :p Matt

When I looked at it, it doesn't look like a Fender or a Squier name on the headstock. The Hello Kitty ones I know are Squiers, but I thought that "bait and switch" was illegal business practice, since Target's advertising them as Fender Hello Kitty guitars, not Squier (by Fender). There's a...

On Monday, I played some kind of a Strat knock-off by Behringer...$150.00 starter package, at H.H. Gregg (electronics/appliances), and although the high E string was completely missing, I was impressed. Not enough to buy it, but it'd make a great start, for someone new to electric guitar. What...

The Melody Maker I tried was their current offering...Les Paul body with a single P90 at the bridge, and a volume and tone knob for it. I'm resisting the temptation to sell the Epi (before I put a Bigsby B5 on it), and buy a Gibson Les Paul Junior, and mostly 'cause I'm trying to avoid the...

On my Squier Fat Telecaster (metallic green), I have an oval sticker on the upper hip...yellow background, black letters, that says I DIDN'T DO IT! On my Ibanez Artcore AG75TBS (translucent blue sunburst), I have a Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon sticker, and an Alice In Wonderland (Alice with...

I have an Epiphone Les Paul Jr. 90 that sounds WAY better than a Gibson Les Paul Melody Maker. Don't know how it'd compare to a Gibson Les Paul Junior (keep forgetting to try one, whenever I make it to GC), but with the Gibson upgrades I have for my Epi, I'm sure it'll sound every bit as good as...

I never knew Think Geek sells guitar gear, until this showed up in my latest Think Geek Newsletter... http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/tools/8e2b/?cpg=43H Matt
