    Naylor Owners Corner

    I've got a Naylor Electraverb 38 the third to last amp Naylor made in Eastpoint, MI. I got it from my old jamming buddy Greasy Carlisi (Nathaniel Mayer, etc.). Altough I'm a Fender guy from way back...those Naylor amps are about as good as it gets. It seems you can't get a bad sound out of them...

    6 Volt AA Battery Hack!

    Hey all you stompbox dogs! Here's how to get 32 double AA batteries out of a 6 volt lantern battery. A great thing if you go through batteries, since 6 volt lantern batteries are much cheaper than 32 double AA batteries. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/824477/6_volt_battery_hack_youll_be_amazed/

    An Unusual Black Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul

    I picked up an interesting find today and I was curious if anybody had one like this. It's a black Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul all mahogany with gold hardware.
