I've got a 2023 Gibson SG Standard '61.. Like all great Gibsons, it had a headstock break. It's been repaired, but I'm just not an SG guy. It doesn't help that this is the third SG headstock break I've fixed in the past month alone. One SG I just fixed was on it's 3rd headstock break.. The...
I've been to several of a buddies shows. One guy uses an 800 thru an 80s Marshall 4x12.. The other guy uses an 800 2x12 combo loaded with greenbacks. The combo sounds so ridiculously good. I usually hate combos, so it fucked my opinions up. I've got my eyes peeled for a cheap one.
I agree with everyone. Stack pedals if you want more gain or even grab a Mr. Scary to throw in there to get more power.. But leave it stock. There are a ton of modded Marshalls and clones out there. You hardly see any unmolested ones. It would probably be worth more bone stock, since not...
I can't justify bringing another guitar with a gross headstock into the world.. So I will not donate. Also had the chance to play them at multiple NAMMs and the necks felt like chalk every time. Gross, dry and uninspiring. I'll donate to @VonBonfire getting a Squier Classic Vibes instead.

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.
ADA MP-1 v1.36...
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...
