Thanks for the suggestions, I'll look at those. I'm planning on making a purchase sometime within the next 6 months...I like to plan way way way in advance. I try not to impulse buy anything. The modeling stuff is out...I'm sort of a simple guy when it comes to amps. I have a mesa road king on...

What 6l6 based amplifiers are available, new or used (and be realistic), within this price range? The pignose g40v with mods would be cool IMO as a 6l6 based home jammer.

To reiterate, I'm glad you all expressed your opinions. The point of all of it was to get more than one opinion. I have an old cheap epiphone lp that looks cool but is actually warped-- although you can't tell from looking at it from afar. It was stuck in a flood in my basement. For years I hung...

I started this thread to facilitate and open discussion on the subject. If I think it's neat and artsy, or even cool, so what. I'm glad you all expressed your opinions about it. I wanted to see what everybody thought about it, not just yourself. That is all I have to say about that. Post I don't...

I still think it's cool because like you've said yourself, it's more of an art form. The techniques that the guy in the youtube vid uses are creative to an extent (ok, maybe not the hammer part.) I have never done it myself but thought about it after watching that vid. I would probably wuss out...

man I can't wait to get my new guitar and relic the s#$% out of it so that it looks nice and old and worn out. :rolleyes::D just fuggin' with ya and sorry but I'm just so used to saying relicing. Ok well thoughts on distressing a guitar only in this thread then.

Yeah man, tube was bad. It's good that you figured it out before the thing caught fire :eek: jk jk and not that a bad tube would cause it to catch fire. You should have had the tube tested with a tube tester and compared it to the stock 12ax7 before stickin' it in there. I suspect you would've...

Yeah I have been playing a long time too. I have guitars that are naturally worn out. I have guitars even older than those guitars that are still brand new looking, because I babied them more or never gigged with them. I think that relicing a guitar to try and fool other people into thinking...

Oh and I would also look at the Michael Kelly Patriot series, in particular the Patriot limited. The hourglass limited is very very nice sounding as well. a demo of that guitar can be viewed here (he plays some metal on it at the end if that's your thing): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XboWG3-N3PU

HEy guitarded, I would highly recommend looking into purchasing a tech21 Sansamp. They come in a few different flavors and can be found here http://www.tech21nyc.com/sansamp_intro.html You can achieve a variety of truly overdriven bass tones with a sansamp (ranging from slight to raw and...

I used to want one of these a long time ago when they came out. They made a gothic sg too. I've played it and it sounded and felt like a normal lp, but a little on the bland side from what I remember. It didn't seem as heavy though as say a gibson lp studio. If you only need it for the studio...

And no, the old sunn cab isn't a legit sunn cab, it was made by fender. If it were real I would keep it.

LoL relicarizaton would work too:cool:... alright well from now on i'll just say "I want to make my new guitar look old and worn out" and we'll all be happy. But on another note, Jay over at guitarfetish emailed me back and said that they are completely sold out of xv820s, and that they expect...

I'm not trying to discredit your experience. You know a lot more about guitars than I do and that's fine because it's your profession. I'm also not saying that you are wrong outright, just that I disagree. I was just making a point that most people have come to perceive the term as meaning one...

LOL ME TOO... but i'm working on it

I'm not super crazy about buying a "reliced" model for 1000+ new. I do however think the process is sort of cool and I would like to try it out someday on my own. To me there is something alluring about beat up old guitars. Of course the sound of any guitar takes precedence over its looks to me...

Thank you for your help. I have been looking around for a while. The stores in my area only carry the big names. I really hate how expensive our hobby is at times. I do politely disagree with the definition you have asserted here. That may be what the term means generally, but in the guitar...

wbc, thanks for the input, it does sound good imo. I probably will be buying the guitar but the one I want is out of stock right now (the trans honey with the maple neck). dammnit. Mutley - that doesn't make sense because I started the thread. If anything my post served as reasoning for why I...

Hey, it's kind of hard to put that kind of worn look on a guitar when you only play out every once in a while and otherwise just play in your music room. In fact, it takes years and years to do it naturally. Unless of course have a habit of swinging the guitar wildly and deliberately knock into...

Yes please do. I have thought about "RELICing" mine. It would be a really cool project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsHNTHUbXOk. or maybe not! :D
