    what kind of ES-335 do I have??

    I have an '87 335 with no pickguard and no sticker on the inside but the serial number checks out. Any ideas? I thought all 335's had a pickguard and sticker inside the F hole.

    help wth filling a chip in a guitar finish....

    I have an older, non Gibson guitar that has a dime sized gouge in the finish and would like to find out how to fill it in. It's black and is probably a thick urethane finish. Do they make a black epoxy filler or other material to fill it in. Not looking to do any fancy finish work here, just...

    Les Paul lower strap button remedy needed...

    the lower strap button has loosened over time and now appears to be stripped. I was thinking I could cut a small piece of wood to take up the slack in order for the threads to catch on something and ultimately remain tightened. Just wanted to double check if that seems like a reasonable...

    Any Atomic 16 owners in the forum?

    Just picked up an Atomic 16 and have a question about the speaker input jacks. Can I run the on board speaker and a cabinet at the same time? I'm guessing I can, but need to know what ohm rating the extension cabinet needs to be? All I have are 8ohm cabs at the moment. thanks!

    how different are 6550s from EL34s...?

    can you measure the ohms from a speaker jack this way?

    the speaker ohm rating on an amp I just picked up isn't labeled and I wanted to make sure it's either 4, 8 or 16 ohms. can I just plug in a speaker cable, turn the amp on and measure with a multimeter? similar to how I measure pickups on a guitar? thanks in advance!

    Marshall DSL 50....good, bad or indifferent...

    sold all my amps and kept one, a '66 BFSR. Interested in finding something with different tonality, so that I'd have just two amps, each being unique. Don't have a huge budget. Wanted to get something in the british, Marshall flavor. Should stand up to the rigors of gigging too...

    Is the Small Clone a decent chorus or....

    just put out the extra cash for Analogman's version.... the Clone Chorus. The Small Clone seem to be pretty inexpensive. Just wondering how the quality and sound is. Don't really expect to use much chorus, but wanted to add one to the rig for a few songs here and there during a gig. What...

    Anyone using their Timbuckers with the RS Kit?

    Just lookin for some user feedback on how the combination between Timbuckers and the RS wiring kit work with each other. Just got the call that I'm the next in line for some Tims and wondered if I should match them up with the RS kit. Any and all feedback is welcome. Thanks!
