    The Word...

    ... "Minty" :hmm Does this word drive anyone else here nuts? It's like the one word, or term, that just makes me wanna smack somebody... and I'm pretty much a non-violent guy 99.99% of the time. It might be because I always see it associated with guitars that are definitely not... minty...

    2015 Custom Shop Guitars, my first encounter with them...

    I was over at Carter Vintage Guitars in Nashville yesterday and I check out a few new Les Pauls, man... I'm impressed! I played an R9, an R8 and a Waddy Wachtel model with a monkey bar on it. All three had the nicest necks, on reissues, I can ever remember playing. For me, the initial...

    Single 1968 Celestion G12M, model 1511 Bass Speaker, 55hz

    I found this orphan in a closet the other day. These are basically the "holy grail" of G12M's, the 55hz bass speakers. This one's from 1968. Date code: "JA"... October of 1968. Speaker cone code: 29 102 014 Model: 1511 No issues, sounds insanely great... HUGE tone out of this speaker...

    Pre-Rola Celestion G12M Greenbacks, Quad, Matching Date Codes, 75hz (lead) Speakers

    I took these out of a Traynor cab I bought about 30 years ago. I actually found 3 of these cabs that a music store was closing out and bought them all. This set of speakers were used for a couple of recording projects over the years, in a 4x12 cab, with a JTM 45 or a 50 watt plexi, they...

    Y'all see this??

    I was cruising thru some of Carter Vintage Guitars vids, with the idea of eventually going over there, with a recorder, to get some reverb impulse responses together (for mixing), as it's an incredible sounding room. Long story short I found this vid of Jd with a killer sounding Greg Martin...

    Tone...

    Yup, right here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVHTDZJof54 Did a little tune up and re-bias on the Purple People Eater recently, pairs up nicely with this badass guitar. One of the best bursts I've ever heard.

    OT: Tele Content... and some fine guitar playing!

    I don't work for Carter Vintage, I don't own this Tele. Just wanted to get that out of they way. Killer sounding Tele and Jd's doing it justice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrpgPePoJys I've always called a good Les Paul a "Tele on steriods" and it's interesting to think how many "Les...
