I actually own a flame top R6, I found used on Reverb, and which I've modified quite a bit. I added a Bigsby, which is both a blessing and a curse. I also swapped out the bridge pickup a few times before settling on a TV Jones Powertron humbucking pickup. Which is a beefier version of a Gretsch...

Organ trio Jazz from the 60's is one of my all time favorite genres of guitar music... and George Benson is someone I sometimes think does not get all the love he deserves, because of his crossover pop success in the 70's... he is a phenomenally tasty guitar player!

Here is my recent experience with Joe B for what it's worth... I've known for a long time that he's a polarizing figure. My brother tried to turn me on to him years ago, but something about the shades and the slicked back hair seemed like too much of a put on costume... which immediately didn't...

The mojo is in the mind!

It's a beautiful guitar I wouldn't obsess over an arbitrary rating... enjoy it for what it is!

I'd have to argue that my first was the best, perhaps not so much for the music, as for being in the moment and being part of a historic event. I was 12 and in junior high in 1968. I was a latch key kid and had plenty of unsupervised time before mom came home. I had already owned Disraeli Gears...

I have a theory. While we all admire extremely good looking guitars, and maybe even lust after them in our hearts. Guitars are at the end of the day utilitarian tools of the trade (think Martins largely simple unadorned aesthetic!) The really fancy ones feel like museum pieces that should be...

Is any one familiar with the TV Jones Powertron, its a Filtertron style pickup, that can drop into a P90 rout, that claims to be a cross between a Gretsch Filtertron and a PAF style humbucker? It sounds intriguing but I've never heard one before...

Who doesn't love a good P90.... I'm the sort of guy, who usually immediately bonds with a neck pickup, but finds bridge pickups a bit annoying until the opportunity presents itself to play them at volume cutting through a full band... so I'm always on the hunt for an option in the bridge that...

I'm a little hazy on whether a mini humbucker will pop directly into a P90 route... but that's an intriguing possibility... I did find this offering yesterday from TV Jones a P90 sized Filtertron which claims to split the difference between a Filtertron and a PAF... could be brilliant could be...

I've never been happy with the bridge pickup sound in my R6, however I do love the neck pickup. I was wondering if there were any good solutions out there for a putting a PAF sounding pickup in the bridge position without radical modification like re-routing or changing the over all look of the...

Thanks for the prompt reply! I live in New England and my neck has gone out of wack with the extreme summer humidity and I've had to raise the action too high for my liking. So I decided it was high time to gain some confidence in basic setup. I realize as a newbie I should proceed with...

I'm hoping someone can answer this. What size of wrench needed for adjusting an R6 truss rod? I ordered a 5/16 and of course it doesn't fit. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I certainly respect Eric's right to talk about his own personal experience, and also in a sense turn it into art if he so chooses (Tears in Heaven, Layla etc.) But he's chosen to turn his personal experience into a political crusade and his political crusade into songs, which makes for bad art...

It's rumored that Pete Townshend wacked Abbie Hoffman hard with his SG when he tried to commandeer the mike during The Who's set at Woodstock!
