    2000 Aged Goldtop

    Does that have the ultra rare super lightweight Lifton? If so, I believe they only appeared for the 1999 Aged 40th Historics and the 2000 aged gold tops made for Japan. I've got one of the Yamano run aged by TM... killer guitar!!!

    Wizz Pickups Duane Allman Cherryburst / Goldtop - Layla / Fillmore PAFs sound or video clips?

    I'm a giant fan of the Wizz Laylas... I've got 2 sets done in vintage 50s wire that are my all time favorite aftermarket pups. One set in a Y2K Murphy Aged Yamano Spec Goldtop and the other in an Aged Allman Sig Cherryburst. They are absolute tone monsters!!!! ?

    Wizz Hot Lanta Pickups

    I have a couple pedals from Missing Link Audio (Peacock & Statesboro) and they are really nice and highly recommended. As far as their pickups go, I don't know who Mason-Dixon is as they just came out last year, but the parts are off the shelf and they bear little resemblance to real PAFs. And...

    Wizz Hot Lanta Pickups

    I have a couple sets... they are amazing!! I love the Layla set as well and it's really fun going back and forth between the two. There aren't very many recordings of Duane playing 'Lanta, but in the usual suspects making the rounds Duane is on fire, so I do believe he was definitely inspired by...

    LPF Data Breach / Security Compromise ?

    Its not chrome... I got the same message on my iphone. It seems that after Apples 'forced' update last week they gave themselves axx to your passwords and now they are popping up all over the place. Google is doing the same thing... all part of the ongoing digital war where big tech is trying to...

    Neck humbucker suggestions.

    Wizz and Rewind both make some killer Jimmy Page sets, both pre and post 1972... so you might want to take a peek at them. In the meantime, if you're up for some tinkering I would try mixing and matching the ones you already have to see if you can find a combination you like. For the Epiphone...

    Upgrading a 2001 R7

    I believe '57 Classics first came out in '93 or '94 and the changes were made in '05 or '06. ish. ✌️

    Upgrading a 2001 R7

    Tom Holmes was a consultant for Gibson and he designed the 57 Classics. In the beginning, they followed his design, but in order to cut costs they changed to cheaper covers and changed from PE (plain enamel) wire to Poly (polyester). This change, of course, changed the tone considerably. So in...
