I think it was that Jagge’s dress was too short so he had to redo His costume with pants…and that made him uncomfortable???? or…maybe Mick was trying to play the slide in tune with Jagger’s sing8ng?? I have no idea to what Keef was tuning, but his guitar is sour!! Maybe he tuned that V and...

That is one crude and ugly headstock there On that ebay guitar. No serial number, no logo….and the shape is all wrong to my eye. I did see what appeared to be a 1980 V that had the same type of crude shape, though. That guitar would be a hard sell to me.

From what I can see in the pics, one could either play it as is or re-finish the guitar. I don’t see the evidence of metal plates in the picture you give us. If there are metal plates embedded 8n the repair and the repairs is stable, then done is done. The finish is done for, that is sure. It...

That V is so out of tune it is sad. The slide play8ng is sub par, imho, even for a local club band. Sad cut, imho….

Sorry I missed it. It sounds like an old school show…vintage offerings without huge booths of new equipment.

Thanks for the chuckles….”at least one of the guitars bearing that serial number is.” 0 So, we could watch a game show based on the old ’What’s My Line’….…..”Will the real 9-1998 please plug in?” Who has vetted the various examples of L.P.s with this serial number? ?? As for that unfaded area...

I recently placed an Eminence 820H in a 1964 Bf Champ. I had more low and lower mids and more volume that the stock speaker. It was closer to what that P8RS I once used in a 5F1….bigger..more meat to the sound.

I would suggest finding one of the newer ones.

The amp gained some volume, did it not?

Eminence ALK1028s are great in such an amp. Emi makes quite a variety of 10s that each yield slightly different results, ime. the ALK does BF Reverb cleans great, and they yield great tone and harmonic 9ntent if one deals in gain/overdrive/distorti9n…smooth on the high end in distortion modes.

I disagree….the volume doesn’t bother me. It is the change in the rhythm ri… listen to the above….. and then listen to the original… or the BBC cut…. imho, Clapton screwed the song up on purpose…perhaps because of the dictate to t urn dow?? But…whatever the reason, the cut in the first post...

Now, what special edition Les Paul in the late ‘70s…iirc…had a center section with two side pieces in the top made od fancy figured maple ??? this guitar looks like it could have been the prototype…even if the center section is off to one side a bit. Sharp….I really like the dark burst.

9 I figured as much. And did you inquire of them If the gain stage input stage was the s3cond triode in that tube. It has to be, ime, but I always like to ask someone who knows the circuit…..because there is a small,possibility that the gain is done in the solid state doma8n. (8^0????and one...

How does one switch the channels? Does the Clean channel not work when the footswitch is plugged in but work when the footswitch is not plugged in? If the footswitch indicates a problem, I would be taking it apart…IF I knew what I was doing, right? i would have that chassis pulled again to see...
