The copper one. I have nothing to do with the auction, but neither of those guitars do anything for me.

It's a shame for the families of the affected. Terrible to lose a job with no notice. Even worse around the holiday.
I don't know how the greater musical instruments industry plans on surviving in this day and age. You can't keep shoving out a million guitars (my estimate for the entire...
The ones I get for my Eclipses are the Shorty Toggle Switches in whatever color I'm looking for.

I play the guitars that make me happy.
Only once has anyone ever come up to me after a show and talked to me about gear, and that was a guy who thought one of my custom made guitars was an Epi Les Paul and asked why I was playing it while the other guitarist had an LTD EC-1000.
I showed him a...
For internal guitar related soldering, I end up using something like this for stripping the super thin gauges like pickups.

I use a small vice to hold connectors and wires (when I'm working outside of a guitar, anyway). Other than that, some heat shrink tubing and an electronic solder (I like thinner gauges) and you're off to the...
I have the 1-15 version of the Ampeg combo above. I feel like it gets the job done (I'm a guitarist mostly, but I sit in on bass occasionally with groups.)
In my experience, the sound guy at the clubs I play want to take a direct feed to the board anyway. I end up just using my combo for...
It's super fake. Wrong logo, headstock is the wrong shape, knobs in the wrong place, EMGs are fake, back logo and serial number font are incorrect....
Knob layout should be like this:
Headstock shape should be like this:
Perhaps, but I doubt it. The guitar was white originally and has yellowed in the 40 years since it was new.
Here's a section that doesn't see as much light, and you can see the white binding showing through in sections. It makes me think the clear has yellowed but the color hasn't.
For me, standard tuning would is .010-.052, which is the same set I'd use for Eb or Dropped D.
D Standard is .011-.054
C Standard is .012-.056
I use the same gauge whether it's 25.5 or 24.75.
I also have a 27" baritone that I use the same .012-.056 set on. It's typically in C standard.
