I have a set of double white vintage authentic (pre-MXV) SLE-101 LTDs that I'm using again. They weren't in anything a couple of years back and I tried to sell them (not at an exorbitant price, mind you) and no one seemed to want them. I'm sure at some point (maybe now), they'll be considered...

Love Billy Squier. I saw him a couple of times back in the 80s -- one show was opened by Ratt -- and also saw him on the 2009 tour. He was still playing great; he played a Les Paul Special most of that night, but pulled out some others as needed.

McCulloch left before that. Macca had Lawrence Juber playing in Wings during the Back to the Egg era, which was before the drug bust. McCulloch quit to play with a new version of the Small Faces.

R8 Hand-picked top, page 93 burst - SOLD! I've got a few guitars and amps that I'm thinking of selling. I'm selling simply because it's time. I have a ton of guitars and amps and really don't play that much, anymore. I only play at home and I'm playing acoustic most of the time. We're thinking...

Hey, all... Just thought I'd share a little amp that I built for my own amusement. I had the idea of building an amp with a Komet-style preamp mated to a Princeton Reverb output section so that it wouldn't blow out my windows when I played it. As I was working out the design, though, I decided...

Hey, all... I built a BF Vibrolux Reverb clone last week and am having a couple of issues with it. It (mostly works) and sounds good, but there are two issues. The first is that it's just not as loud as it should be. It's not as loud as my blackfaced 70 Deluxe Reverb, but close. The second is...

I'm listing my 2001 '61 Reissue SG/Les Paul. This is the relatively rare model with the vibrola. I've made some significant upgrades to this guitar, which I'll list, individually. I'm somewhat ambivalent about listing this, but I really don't play it that much; I'm more a Les Paul guy. I'm...

Selling my MK III combo as noted above. Simul-class with reverb, no EQ. Cream tolex cab. It was recently in for its 30-year checkup at Uncle Albert's in Indianapolis (an authorized service center). We replaced the filter caps with new Mesa caps and had to replace a couple of orange drops that...

Thought I'd post some pics of my new (buffed and assembled yesterday) Explorer. I've had several natural/'76 reissue Explorers, but was never happy with the color. I want a Korina, but don't want to pay $8k for a reissue on eBay. I bought a Korina kit from Precision, but wasn't happy with it...

This is more a "free to a good home" thread, I suppose. I picked up a gold Kluson aluminum wraptail (KLP-1126G - $70, list) by mistake. I meant to get the basic stop-bar (without the adjustment screws). I could, of course, have just removed the screws and used it, but I'm far too anal, so I...

Hello, again. I've been gone for a while. I sold off a bunch of guitars and amps about a year ago, but have been buying some more lately. Recently, I bought a 2014 model R8 (originally from Dave's Guitars, it has a hand-picked top with Stanley Burst, ahem, "page 93" finish) that was made in...

Relisting JTM45 Replica -- Genelex KT66 smoked glass BACK ON MARKET BACK ON THE MARKET I had listed this before and had agreed to terms with a buyer, but he was unable to follow through (things happen, no hard feelings), so I'm re-listing my JTM45 clone at a discounted price. I started with...

I've got a matched quad of NOS Mullard EL34s. They're labeled GE and are in the original boxes. These are brown-base, single halo xf2 EL34s from Blackburn. These have been used only long enough for me to warm them up in my amp to measure current draw. There is a pic below. Current draw for...

Since the sale of my JTM50 Black Flag replica went so well, I'm now offering my JTM45 clone. I started with the basic components of a MetroAmp kit, but made several significant upgrades -- and a couple of mods -- when putting it together. It's definitely not your average "kit" build. The board...

So, I won Banker's drawing; now it's my turn. I thought that continuing with giving away tubes would be a good idea. Unfortunately, my tubes aren't quite as nice as the one's John put up. The winner will get a choice of either: 1) a matched pair of Gold Lion reissue KT66s. I've had these a...
