I have an SG that I keep as my primary drop-tuned guitar (C# to be exact). I've been trying to find a good hot pickup I like in it. Thus far I've gone through a Gibson T500, BG Hellabucker, Wolfetone Blisterbucker, and now back to the Hellabucker. While I generally prefer the more musical feel...

I'm looking to buy a pair of Mesa OEM 16 ohm Vintage 30s with T4416 magnet code. I'm willing to buy a Mesa 212 cabinet to get the speakers if you are local, but I'm not keen on shipping a cabinet just to get the speakers. I also have a pair of Heritage G12H30s and a pair of Classic Lead 80s...

...and it conveniently requires two half stacks :yes: TL;DR: The Orange OR15 on the left runs dry and fully cranked into Celesiton G12-65s, and the Granger SLO clone 50-watter on the right runs wet into Marshall T3987 magnet Celestion V30s. The ramble version: I’m not currently in a...

What's the best way to get this junk off? It looks like it might've been laid face down on some cardboard which stuck to it. I doubt it hurts anything, but I'd like it to be clean so I can potentially sell or trade it. Here's a shot of the speaker: Closer up:

So my buddy IRL (Mr. Willy here on the forum) jammed with me a week ago and heard my amp (50-watt SLO clone. Mr Willy says it sounds more like a Dual Rect) and me complaining about too much low-end. I also have long giggled about how I keep my mids DIMED and never experiment otherwise. Well...

...you and your buddy learn it isn't still loaded with the original G12-65s you wanted :doh:

A buddy of mine has an old slant Marshall with G12-65s. It's all black and in decent shape. He got it pretty cheap about 10 years ago when we were working on starting a band together for around $400. We've agreed that I'd buy it from him, but I'd like to offer him the right price for what they...

https://m.imgur.com/a/PxgS7 My favorite is the SG with the headstock plastered to the body. :no:

Can anyone help me identify my SG's neck pickup? The first two pics below show the underside and top of the pickup. I'm including a pic of the bridge pickup because I am quite sure it is a Gibson Dirty Fingers which is original to the guitar, because the SG Exclusives came with cream pickups...

Anybody have a speaker that does this? I love both of my Bogner cabs: one has Marshall T3987 Vintage 30s, the other has EVH signature Greenbacks. I wish I could have the cut and aggressiveness of the upper mids and highs from the V30s especially for slicing through a band mix, along with the...

I've been planning on getting a second amp to run simultaneously with my current amp, but lately I've been reading a lot about W/D and W/D/W setups. I know that 2 amps isn't W/D, but I have in mind that I would put my effects on one and leave the other dry. That being said, what is the...

So I bought the SG Exclusive I mentioned the other day. Picked it up late Saturday night. She needs some work before she'll be a great guitar, but I'm pretty sure I have a keeper. Like a good Norlin, she's got vintage looks and vibe without being worth so much I can't customize it without...

This one is for sale within driving distance. Ever heard of Exclusives? I sure haven't. For the most part I'm not keen on SGs in the Norlin era because they often lacked good things like neck binding, but this one has it. The bridge pick up looks a little crooked, but shouldn't be hard to...

Anybody got a 2015 Gibson with one of these? I've started shopping for an SG and I've noticed in addition to the tuning crap that I would rip off the nuts are funny like on this one. According to this RT comment it seems it is for conveniently adjusting the string height at the nut. I wonder...

Anybody have one? I thinking about buying this one which is local to me for the kids for Christmas. I figure it's good enough for them to bang around on their V while I try to show them a chord or two. Then maybe if one day they really get interested, we could hand-wire a real amp into the...
