    Neural DSP Mesa Boogie Mark IIC+ Suite

    The MK2 and Soldano are my favorite high gain plugins. I haven’t owned either amp in real life, but I also gravitate to them on every modeler I’ve had. At this point, I don’t see that I’ll ever need another “real” amp, so these really scratch the itch. Highly recommend these.

    Hipshot tuners?

    I have them on every guitar I’ve owned the last 8-10 years, and I love them. Totally legit. Only one issue ever - one of the plastic spacers below the button cracked, but was probably user error over tightening. I’ve probably had 30-40 sets.

    Solar Guitars…Opinions?

    i've had 3 of them, and they were all top-notch for a QC, fit/finish standpoint. They out-kick their price.

    7-String recommendations - Bang For Buck?

    Might take a look at Solar too. Ola knows low-tuners...

    Long awaited NGD: USA Charvel

    I had 4 of the Style 2's back around the time they came out. Great guitars! Hard to believe I was able to get all but one of them between $650 & $850 back then.

    Tomorrow is a New Guitar Day -- another Edwards

    I had a really nice one of those. Played and sounded fantastic. You won't be disappointed!

    NGD: 84-85 Kramer Focus 1000

    Had a white one back around 1991. Someone had routed a neck Bucker (EMG’s) into it, and put a big old Buckwheat sticker on the armrest. Great guitars - quite heavy!! Lotsa maple I think?

    More Live Dokken.....

    Yep - but the music was where the "magic" really happened... ?

    More Live Dokken.....

    I'd go see George, Jeff, and Mick just play the music. Don's ringer band is pretty good too...

    Neural DSP Mesa MkII plug in

    I've never had the real deal, but I LOVE that plugin. Killer sounds. I could live off that and the Soldano plugin. Any maybe the Fortin Cali. ;)

    Any experiences with the Seymour Duncan PowerStage 700?

    I have one. Probably one of the nicest SS power amps I’ve owned. I love the fact that you have the EQ options as well. Turned up to 9:00 is VERY LOUD. Never had it past noon. I run an FM3 and a Quad Cortex through it, and even some plugins from NDSP via my interface, all into an old Mesa...

    Neural dsp IIc+

    I have most of the high gain plugins from NDSP including the MK2, and they are all top notch! Having never personally played a MK2, I can't comment from that corner, but having heard many of them, I think these absolutely do it... "Justice"? ? While I have quite a few of these, my faves are...

    Epiphone Les Paul Special $450 vs a Gibson at $1800?

    I have the LPS above - “Inspired by G” model. I think I paid $300 for it? Worth every penny! I did put some Hipshot locking tuners on it, which I do with pretty much everything these days, but beyond that, no mods, and it’s probably one of my main players now. I like the burly neck quite a bit...

    IK TONEX - Game Changer?

    Love the idea, but I gotta have delay…

    Found an Edwards LPC with a beefier neck!

    I've had 4 Edwards guitars, and they were all top notch!
