I was doing some serious thinking about all the gear I've gone through, but I really am extremely happy now. For now, I've pretty much got all the bases covered and I couldn't be much happier.

I got my Sg Classic!
It's an '01, quot;Ebony Stainquot; color. I haven't seen this color in a Classic before. I guess they made these and the Heritage Cherry, but discontinued these after a year or two. These Classics are certainly a bargin for Gibson is letting these go at. The neck is a nice quot;Cquot; shape. It seems a bit less chunky than my SG-X. I was surprised. Another thing I noticed is the brightness compared to my SG-X. I don't know if it is the neck pickup route (SG-X has none) or the lighter tuners, but this thing is considerable brighter than my other SG. The quot;Ebony Satinquot; color looks black, but in good light it becomes more brown/redish/purple. It is an different color for Gibson. The body is in very good condition- some pick marks, but oddly no buckle rash at all...no dings either. The bridge P-90 has a good grwol to it, the neck is warm and bassy. Both pickups have good punch to them clean. The neck and bridge combined are killer for cleans- glassy and punchy. I am very pleased so far with this axe. I see no reason to ever mod this baby. I don't know if I have ever said that before. Used some of the sellers pics to show the body color. The lights I have here did not make very good pics.
i have always wanted an sg classic. im jealous. clips are a must..... and by the way, killer axe.

Fender Twin 65 RI Reviews anyone?
just looking for reviews. Does it really sound sterile? Is there another clean amp out there with reverb that sounds like it?

I want your opinion on this guys.. The ROLE of the PICKUP
This is my opinion. The Wood gives the TONE, brilliant, warm, bitey, more forgiving, sustain etc.... but the Pickup gives the quot;SOUNDquot; and the certain qualities of the guitar. It is after all.. AN ELECTRIC GUITAR.

quot;Yourquot; Pedal Brand?
As the title states, whats your favorite pedal brand? are you loyal? and why?
For me its gotta be EHX(Electro-Harmonix) i love all there pedals, as of right now i only have one, a big muff PI and i love it, hopefully i will be buying a graphic fuzz and q-tron soon, i find all of there pedals have there use, they also sell tubes which are good(as far as i've heard), i am loyal to EHX because i can get alot of different sounds outta there stuff, they also have amazing reverb/filter pedals, all there fuzz pedals sound great(although i wouldn't mind getting my big muff modded) They dont have too many actual quot;endorsee'squot; but they got John Frusciate, and he makes amazing use of his EHX gear, listen to some of his demo's for the 'Tube zipper' it sounds amazing, well im done, long live EHX.

Best way to cut an Aluminum Chassis?
I'm going to cut one of my 15 watt chassis and put in Matchless 30 watt transformers and 2 more EL84 power tubes. So, gurus, what's the best way to cut holes and enlarge power transformer cutouts?
