There's pretty big variances in the same batch, let alone years and ohm rating. I've got a buddy who's running through speakers, finding the best out of year groupings and then comparing them. The difference is pretty massive. Even if you get some "Golden Era" 2000-2004 speakers, they will all...
Mogami Gold or Platinum because they have lifetime warranties. Also all Livewire cables have a warranty at GC, you can just hand them the cable and they give you a new one, no receipt needed. Livewires are decent cables, it's nice being able to get a replacement quick.
I'm conflicted. Made in China Epiphone. It's essentially a Chibson. I can get a Chibson Black Widow with a Gibson logo for $334.60 right now. Some Chibson builders are shooting Nitro now..
Go with the official Chibson or a rip of Chibson, that is the question...
$500 Local NJ - 07920
$500 + Shipping CONUS (I use pirateship, it will be cheap)
I just put a box together for this thing to protect it in shipping. I have 2 layers of foam on the front panel, wrapped in bubble wrap and then wrapped in packing paper and sort of double boxed.

Products in China will obviously become unsellable by retailers starting in May.. But more importantly, American made guitars will also slightly increase as raw wood, pickup parts (or pickups), tuners, bridges, pots, strap buttons, and cases are all made elsewhere. A lot of retail companies are...
Some did. Some didn't. I had 4 412s and 1 vertical 2x12. They all had Black Shadows up top and Vintage Black Shadows in the bottom/sealed portion. They sounded great with IIC+'s (and other Mark Series amps), but sounded like absolute ass with anything else. I ended up selling all of them one by...
Title says it all. I've been looking for one of these for a while. Just lost out on one local for $2100-2300.
Looking for a 6L6 version, I would be open to the EL34 version as well.
I'm in 07920 NJ if anyone's in the NJ/NY/PA area.
I've been pretty disappointed with Dimarzio's offerings lately. I went through an adventure trying their new(er) pickups; Dreamcatcher, Illuminator, Mirage, Titan, Mirage, Fast Track 2, and a few more. I hated them all. I couldn't put my finger on it, but I just couldn't get the exact tone I was...
Oh I'm with you, man. I try to keep 80% or more of my deals local. Especially since I get a ton of broken guitars for dirt cheap or free, fix them and sell them.. I'm not paying sales tax on every $300-500 guitar when I can't show a receipt for the "$250 refret" or "$150 rewire" or "$300...
We've had years to prepare for this kind of stuff. I keep receipts for everything. In the pro photography realm people won't buy shit from you unless you send a detailed invoice. Which I'm glad for. I sold a medium format camera body for $3300 last year and Ebay issued a 1099 showing a profit of...
That Metallica concert happened 33 years ago. Metallica's heyday was over 3 decades ago. Get over it.
Another thing to note is that Moscow concert was free. Those suckers, Metallica, lost out on all that big money. Meanwhile Taylor Swift played to more than 10 million people during her Eras...
If you have a local Walgreens, they can print up to 24x36 posters and the quality is pretty good. I've had several prints made there with some of my amp photos. Obviously, the picture quality has to be good for bigger prints. Here's one I made for a buddies limited JP2C. I just looked up the...
