    Best M-69 rings?

    I haven’t posted in many moons and no one has posted about plastics since many moons ago so who currently does the best M-69 rings? Anybody making vintage correct plastic all the way round the guitar?

    Mission Customs PAF demo

    https://youtu.be/DvqfnwqiILI Just wanted to throw up a quick Iphone vid of these fantastic sounding pickups! My good buddy Dave Onorato talked me into trying these in my 03' Lester and I am thrilled with the results. My plank finally gets all the great midrange honk and compressed chirp off of...

    LIX FROM THE DOLL HOUSE (Calico Critter battle and Greg Martin call out)

    So Charlie Daughtry asked me to post these videos which were just a silly prank/punk that I was directing at my ole pal Greg Martin making fun of his videos but the real back story about these is my wife's evil intrusion into the hallowed "back room" where my wall-o-death stands disallowing my...

    Vintage PAF BLISS!

    Where is this Burst now?

    Knowing this site I was a little reluctant to post about this since it's probably already been discussed but wondered about the whereabouts if said Burst in this old PH video. It looks kinda familiar to these old eyes for some reason though.....Hmmmmmmm! I call upon the LPF hounds of deduction...

    Throbak SLE101+ MXV's!!

    I just spent the last couple of days playing Jon's newest creations in my ole 03' R9 and have to say that once again he has knocked it outta the park! The problem was that I was so happy with my original 101+'s with the short A5 mags that I was truly biased and thought I wasn't going to like...
