I think originally they were in house and then Warmoth? I've always wanted a Valley Arts but never ended up with one. When I first started playing and was wondering what would be a good guitar, a guy I know who toured for years from LA said Valley Arts or Tyler was the best of the best.

Really seems to depend. The GC by me I've heard just completely turning people away at any price unless it's a premium guitar.

Powered Kemper is an awesome form factor imho if you find some profiles that work. But if you add the floor controller, then you might as well consider any of the floor modelers (FM9, Quad Cortex, Nano, ToneX, etc) and a power amp since it works out to the same number of gear pieces as a...

Really love the Nano Cortex. Captured my JMP, and now I can footswitch between high and low inputs and easy add reverb and delay without having to mod the amp. It's made playing just easier and more fun.

I have a Tokai LP that I'm considering sending out for a Kahler install.

Yeah, I like very low action and I suspect I won't be able to lower an FRX enough on an LP to get there.

I like the idea of an FRX. Should just try it. I think all my tuneomatic are ABR though, and I think it needs Nashville posts? Nevermind. I see you just remove the front post entirely, so it'll work with an ABR just fine

The Trad Floyd is what I'd want. Also, there are some goldtop LPCs with a Floyd and the block neck heel (GC used has one right now).

I thought the models were sorta meh except for the 2203 and JPC+, which sounded very much like the amps. I think it does a great job with captures. I just made my own; finding others seems like a hassle. I have captures of a JMP 2204 (low input dimed; high input crunch; high input boosted) and...

I thought the Archon had that midrange honk big time. I would get a Rectifier for honkless high gain metal.

The Handwired series is really good IME. Layout looks good and should be easy to work on. I've not spent any time with the circuit board Voxes. The Vox Showroom website has great and nerdy rundowns of what seems like every Vox amp.

Best amps ever.

For tight aggressive metal I much prefer V30s. G12Ms have their place though.

As far as recent reissues go, I think it started with those 6402 cones in the very late 80s, early 90s. The cone code changed to 1777/H1777/53h1777 at some point. People debate whether that is a different cone or just a different stamp. Production seemed to then move to China with a...

I've had a couple. Some of them neck dive and it sucks. The one I have now balances perfectly and ergonomically is just perfect for me. I'd definitely want to be able to try or be able to return before buying another.

I have no idea but chiming in to say that I bought a used Charvel that someone installed a big button for a kill switch and damn is that thing too much fun. I'm sure I'm the most annoying motherfucker around whenever I play that guitar because I cannot stop myself from pushing that button.

Lately GC ships these on a pallet. I've not had any issues. The last time, the carrier even agreed to take the pallet with them so I didn't have to find a way to get rid of it myself.

It's not any issue. Just unscrew the baseplate and swap the magnet. There does tend to be a lot of wax and some Dimarzio's have odd spacers and little rubber rings to create an air gap between the pole pieces and the magnet. But none of that interferes with swapping the magnet.

Looks really fun.

Love it
