No, it’s the one I messaged you about in your WTB ad, I am the same user name over there

2021 Splawn Competition 50, fully loaded, mini headshell, like new condition, includes foot switch & Splawn padded cover $1600 shipped

I sold my Les Paul Standard Goldtop which had the 50s neck and I have an Edwards LTS arriving tomorrow. I think the gold tops would have a similar or the same neck profile so I will repost if it is closer to a 60s than a 50s. I have not played a classic

How does changing the snubber cap value on CF impact the tone vs removing it? Like going from 470pf/500pf to 330pf? Also, I have seen a BE Deluxe for sale in the past where the owner had the BE converted to the Jake E Lee Specs but was able to keep HBE voicing if I recall correctly

The schematic for the Small Box 50, it looks almost identical to the JEL I know I must be missing something but what else would be involved to convert a small box 50 to a 50 watt version of the JEL 20? The sat switch is a common mod on the small box.

In the Headfirst videos, Jason references The 2200pf or 2n2 on V1B-6 as cutting bass and tightening up the amp, how much different or noticeable in feel would having the 1000pf in that position? Also on the V2-3 (fat cap), 22uf vs .68uf & V2-8 (cathode follower) 470pf vs 330pf. would the...

Thanks again for all the replies. I have been using the Headfirst JEL mod schematics and Jason's great video explanations to learn more about different mods (SIR #34) etc. I am a long way from picking up a soldiering iron but now trying to learn how much and what impact different values in...

Sorry if my post was unclear, I have swapped out the Wolfgang pickups in the striped series guitars for those other options, at one point I had all 3 colors, and non of them did I keep the Wolfgang pickup, which I think is a great pickuo btw

The SD 78 is my favorite out of all the VHish pickups I’ve tried. Bare knuckle, motor city, arcane, and the EVH Frankenstein in the striped series guitars and SD 78 won out

I use my Suhr reactive load into IRs with studio monitors and have had FRFR cabs as well. I just picked up an EVH 4x12 and it’s good to have that option as well. I am trying a Celestion F12M-150 into an EVH 1x12 to see how that goes with the full range live response in a real cab

How different do you think the Wolfgang pickup sounds in an Alder Body vs the basswood body Frankie?
