A friend of mine bought one when they first came out. I didn’t think much of it….

Congrats! Even though I live in Cali, I’ve bought a number of things from them! I deal with Jessica and the girl knows her gear! She ordered a Murphy Lab cherry red 335 with a wraptail for me about a month ago(no ABR-1). It’s going to take about a year., but I’m sure it’ll be worth it. I got a...

I have a 2007 R-4 Goldtop that Kim redid about 2010. The flame under the gold was sick..I’ve posted shots of it here before. I’d find a photo but I’m at my Audi dealer getting the 40,000 service done… But Kim has done six of my guitars over the years!

Congrats on the Lester! Love your tennis shoes! I have a couple of custom made Chuck Taylor’s(Converse) That are colorful.

The Nitro used on the Murphy's is the Vintage formula reversed engineered and recreated. It is mostly different from the stuff used by Custom.

When I got mine a year ago, none of the plastics or metal parts had been aged. I put on some ThroBak aged covers, more correct tuners, a real vintage switch ring, a pickguard from Creamtone, ThroBak pickup rings, Creamtone back plates, a vintage jack plate & knobs. The T-o-M is a Four Uncles and...

It could be as Dickey has had a number of Goldtops. He bought one around 1991 when they played the Pac Amptheater in Costa Mesa that was loaded with P-90's. His Tech Troy sorted out a way to load it with PAF's with out routing any wood. That was I think Dickey paid about $5-6K for. It's now at...

In 1967 when Clapton did Disraeli Gears, Felix Pappalardi took EC to Manny's Music in NYC. Clapton bought a new Vox Wah Wah and the 1st black LP Custom. There was a second one that Clapton traded a darkburst L.P. Std. for with Paul Kossoff for the 2nd Custom. This was on the "Blind Faith"/ Free...

I have the exact same guitar and case! I bought them 30 years ago! I have 9309xx

I have a Celestion 10" Gold Alnico in my Super Champ! Never was a fan of the EV's or anyother high powered ceramic speaker. Almost all the speakers I use are alnico and mainly Celestion's except the Cerwin-Vega ER-123 I have in my `61 brown Princeton. It had been cut out for a 12" before I...

The guitar that Dickey used in the late `80's/90's was a `58 GT. I've played it a few times back then. The Fillmore guitar was also a `58 that was sent off to Gibson in early `72 and refinished sunburst. Dickey gave it to Danny Toler. Danny got in a bind and sold it to a DJ at KLOS, Geno...

I always replace mine with a 2", 6/32" Brass post. The 2" gets it into the wood farther and transfers more string vibrations into the wood.

I have a set on my Strat( the Hendrix set .010-.038) and a set on my ‘59 Country Club.(010-.046) They sound great and very unlike the regular Pyramid Gold flatwounds. I’ve been with Pyramid since 1996. You guys can buy strings from me instead of these big box string sellers… www.tone-man.net

Thanks for the info guys! Much appreciated! Another one to check out👍🏻

I have a ‘63 EB-1 ! It’s a great bass! I do believe that ‘63 is when they went to nickel plated covers as that’s what’s on mine. These EB basses always sound best/correct with flatwounds!
