    $185,000??

    :hmm http://www.gbase.com/Stores/Gear/GearDetails.aspx?Item=1902170 You could get into a Burst for that amount in this current economy. Sounded real nice on his net site though., at least when he nailed the bridge pick up and played some blues licks.

    1968 Goldtop With 50's body and book matched top?

    A friend of mine bought this great '68 goldtop from the original owner. The original owner bought it from Chuck Levins Music Center in Maryland. He ordered it after reading in a guitar mag that Gibson was going to reissue the Les Paul. He had to wait for close to a year for it to arrive, and it...

    Played an Advanced Jumbo Reissue last Thurday Night.

    I played an Advanced Jumbo Reissue at a Bluegrass Jam last Thursday night at Boe's Strings in Frederick Maryland. Played and sounded great!. It's for sale, and I was surprised at the price of only $1795 with a case. Great guitar.

    Oxford Speakers In Blackfaces

    I had removed my original Oxfords from my 66 Vibrolux to preserve the original cones a few years ago & installed a couple of Reissue Jensen C10Q's. The C10Q's sound pretty good and can handle lots of volume. I recently reistalled the original Oxfords and am amazed at how great they sound. The...

    Very Early Blackface Deluxe

    Here's a very early Blackface Deluxe that I just scored. All transformers are 1963, very early 1964 production date. No reverb. Any one ever tried one of these very limited production non-reverb models? Man, does this amp sing.

    Clark Amplifiers

    Any one had any experiences? I have heard that his tweeds are incredible. I have been thinking about having him build me a Beaufort, which is his late 50's 5E3 Deluxe copy.

    Gruhn Glaze

    As we were just recently discussing Virtuoso Guitar Polish, what have your experiences been with Gruhn Glaze. I use it, and find it to work fantastically well. Really removes dirt etc, and leaves an original vintage patina looking the way that it should.

Any of you have any info or experience as to weather I will hurt the Blues Jr. if I disconnect the 1 x 12 in the Blues Jr cab & run the amp thru my 2 x 12 4 ohm. The...

    NC Tone Conference, Burst Content

    I went down to the Tone Conference that Jimmy held in early April. My daughter goes to Elon Univ just about 20 min from where the Jam was, and she met me there. I didn't know that she had her digital camera w/ video capability with her, but she just surprised me with this little snippet...

    Gentlegiant.

    Hey gentlegiant, how are you? I have a feeling that we have met a long time ago through a mutual friend, Jeff Adams. Jeff played in a very popular band called Face Dancer, and owned an incredible Burst. The Burst is now known as Sandy, and is owned by Tom Whitrock. If my memory is correct, and...

    Another Early '60 Burst

    Check out this beautiful early '60 that a friend of mine just purchased! Serial number 0 02xx, top just refinished by Murphy! It has original finish on back & sides, but the heel was sanded. Killer set of original double whites. I love the vibe of the top wood, and just happen to be partial to...

    Celestians From China

    I am going install 2 12's in an open back cab and mix with a vintage 30 and a G12 H 30. Any one have any thoughts on this choice? Any thoughts on how the Made in China celestians sound & hold up relative to the British?
