    The Eastman's, which start around $1600.00, are being compared to $5000.00 and up Gibson L5's in terms of sound and craftsmanship.

    The Quality Of Import Guitars

    Japan has been building high quality imports for three decades now. But, yes, in the past couple of years the quality of Chinese and Korean imports appears to have improved dramatically.

    Epiphone Valve Jr. tube amp...

    Check the amp forum at epiphone.com. There's a guy there who posted detailed accounts of the mods he did and also and links to places with mod kits. http://www.gibson.com/products/epiphone/forum/toast.asp?sub=show&action=topics&fid=4

    Epiphone Valve Jr. tube amp...

    Apparently they've addressed the noise issue with the combo. The ones built after December 2005 don't have the noise problem the original ones did. They also raised the price $20 on the combo. They used to be $119, now they're $139. Still a great price for a tube combo. I just bought a Gibson...

    RCA splitter box?

    Thanks everyone. I don't know why two y cables didn't occur to me. Too obvious I guess.

    Fender Champ

    Is it a tube amp like the earlier ones? Seems like an ok deal with the upgrade as long as it sounds good and is in good shape. If it's solid state, I don't know.

    Fender Champ

    My first amp in the early '60's. Wish I still had the little bugger.

    Fender "Noisless" pickups? Are they shit or not?

    I've got them in my AM Deluxe Tele. I like 'em there. My Standard series AM Strat has the regular stock pups. Sure, they're a little noisier than the Noiseless but I've always thought of it as the classic Strat sound. Don't mind it at all.

    Are expensive Epiphones better than cheap ones?

    If they're floating bridges it's there to keep the bridge from sliding around and scratching the guitar's finish while it's in the store and lots of people are playing with it. It should be removed after you buy it.

    Are expensive Epiphones better than cheap ones?

    The highest quality Epi's are the MIJ Elitists(formerly "Elite"). If you can find a good deal on one of those, go for it. Some claim these are just as good as their Gibson equivalants. I bought the Epi "USA" 1964 Sheraton for $999 last year. It had a list price of $3300. They're still selling...

    GC's "The List" sale.

    Anyone go today. I did. Nothin' jumped out at me as a really great bargain. Prices seemed all around pretty high. I've scored some excellent deals at these things in the past, but not today.

    How much?????

    I haven't done those solo gigs(restaurants/bars/clubs/hotels) since the early 1980's. This was on the Jersey Shore and I was doing a solo sing along piano bar type thing. I studied classical also and would play some of that by request(or when I knew nobody was listening anyway :D ). Back then I...
