It seems that the the LP Jr. is about $200 more new or used. It also only has one pup, so I'm thinking that the price spread has more to do with the Gibson brand and that its made in America. Anyone out there play both of these and can compare?

This is just a preview since I just installed this yesterday. So far, so good. Also, to give credit where credit is due, this was inspired by the Jerry Donahue wiring. The implementation, however, is mine.

Did anyone of you tried to detach the metal plate holding from the coils? I want to upgrade a bridge pickup in my Godin guitar with Alnico but the metal plate of the stock pickup has two pickup adjustment screws on each side. I am planning to remove the metal plate from the stock pickup then I will put that metal plate into the new Alnico pickup. Anyone knows what Im talking about? Please advise. tnx

Hi Guys !!

I just bought one of these in hopes of gettin that classic quot;waylonquot; sound. The intro to quot;Are You Sure Hank Done It this Wayquot;, and quot;Lukenbach Texasquot; sounded SO much like the record does! I plugged this baby in and was blown away by the accurate and authentic tone just like one those old records! If any of you are looking for a phase pedal, get an MXR Phase 90! Its the one pedal that i've heard and owned that actually sounds like the old records that i'm trying to immulate! This things well worth the $69.99 price tag. FenderBender

so i'm thinking of buying a les paul bc i really want to put some phat cats in it. the only thing is, gibsons are so expensive. are the epiphones comparable, or should i shell out the extra cash for an lp special?

This looks like my most probable pick for my next amp. Pro's and cons? I forgot who, but somone has one of these....

I purchased a G12H-30 about a month ago under the guidance of Lew and others on the group! I installed it the day I got it (which took some real work, not extra work, but more than I expected) As with most things, I really got a charge out of doing the replacement myself. I allowed the what I believe to be the honeymoon period of about a month w/ about 10 gigs. Let me say...IT ROCKS! I was most dumbstruck and awe-inspired when playing slide. Having that round full bottom makes slide and neck work WAY more musical sounding (as far as the tone goes...I'm still working on sounding musical myself). Bridge work? Forget it. HUGE! MEATY! with the DRRI on about 6 I was in heaven, sure is a shame I have to play on about 2-3 at gigs!

First off, let me say that John is a class act and a hell of a nice guy! That being said, I opened the box and pluged in to my practice rig in the garage, an Ampeg AX70 and played with my Washburn NX6. Had to get in there quick before the wife yelled quot;Dinner!quot; First impresion: I'm blinded, all I can see is cool blue! Wow what an LED. You can actually use this thing for stage lighting during your ripping solos! I love bells and whistles. Plug in, Whats the first thing we(probably only me) do? Crank the gain, set the EQ to 12:00 Clean was down and Vol. at about 9:00. I was greeted with a beautifull fuzzy clang of the strings and into harmonic feedback( I was still plugging everything in!) Volume on the amp is low for marriage reasons. The amp is on the clean channel. I hit the ominous Am chord. WHAM! Bigger sound, more bass, seemed a bit clearer and the gain! Oh the gain!
As I calmed a bit, i brought the gain back to 1-2:00( my usual) and remembered what makes the Spina Drive quot;Sparklequot;, so I up the clean to about 12:00, quot;bringggggggggquot; Nice! Back the clean off a bit and the Vol on the guit, what a nice balance of warm fuzzy and clean shimmer. Right into quot;Southboundquot; Yeah!

so lately ive been noticing some stuff with my amp.....most of which is a big drop in the volume. also a few weeks ago i noticed the clarity to be not as good, but ive just left it for so long that i cant tell much of a difference by now. but the main thing is the volume. now, with the master volume at 5, i get a pretty good bedroom playing volume, a bit loud, but reasonable. now before, with the master vol. on 5, it would shake the hell out of all the windows and knock things off shelves and stuff like that. so whats the deal? do you think i just need new tubes, or is it something else
