    Re: What Have You Bought Guitar-Related In The Past 48 Hours?

    Today being Cyber Monday, Musician's Friend SDOTD became the Stupid Deal of the Hour, and I kept checking in to see what was being offered. When I saw the Dean Markley ProMag Plus XM Acoustic Guitar Pickup for only $19.99 (no tax, free shipping). My 1971 Framus 12-string is the only guitar I own that does not have any electronics. When I played it last at church, the sound guy had to mic it direct. So, adding this little single-coil pickup, housed in a maple enclosure ought to give it some sparkle - and the ability to run it through the soundboard.

    Okay, so it may not be a Seymour Duncan. But since it installs without requiring any modification to the guitar, if I don't like it, it's just $20 and easy to remove.

    That's a good deal on the Promag! I have an old one that I bought many years ago. I put it on my guitar, plug it into any amp and play. It has it's own kind of sound. I did an acoustic gig with my 000-15, the Promag and a Princeton Reverb. It sounded great!

    I took advantage of "Cyber Monday" and ordered a Mojotone British style lightweight 2x12" cab in wine Taurus with tan British basket weave and gold piping to match my Avatar 45 head. The cab that came with that head is HUGE! Not only can I not get it out of my house, it sounds very boomy. This one is 3" narrower, 1" shorter in height and 5" less deep and only weighs 22 pounds without speakers. It should save me almost 10 pounds.

    I like those Dean Markley Woody pickups. A friend of mine has one from way back when it first came out, I think I bought it for him as a matter of fact. I preferred it to the onboard piezo that my (now gone) Martin HD28V came with.

    Dan, my Martin is an HD28v, lefty version, made in 96 or 98.

    This is the book my guitar teacher ordered for me. It's Volume 1, so it starts with the basics, but he claims it's the only book one needs to get up to full speed on the guitar fingerboard.

    That's the book that I learned from as a teen. I can still hear some of the exercises in my head. I still have that and volume 2.

    sort of guitar related, i bought a workbench from homeless despot's black friday sale. I had originally planned on putting it in the garage where I figured the sounds of tools wouldn't bother my mom. I've been procrastinating on that for close to 2 years. Now that she's going into a facility it's no longer an issue and I'm putting it in the room next to my music room.

    Not a big purchase as last week, but a new trem bar is arriving today for the Floyd Rose on my new Jackson Dinky. Bought it last week, but it was missing the correct bar. So yes, a new bar for the Rose. That's all.

    Not a purchase, but I traded a pedal for an Epi SG that had been stripped, I hope to turn it into a slide guitar!

    That's awesome! You might recall that I bought a stripped out 1964 Epi Olympic last year. That was a fun project!

    I'm finding that the bridge inserts are threaded the same as Gibson. but not the stopbar/tailpiece. STRATosphere has a set of Gibson hardware, stopbar, bridge, and tuners for $80, but the threads are 5 x .8 mm and the inserts I have are 8 x 1.25, but I found this:

    Check out the patina on the Rat! It sounds great! A little better than the clone that I built several years ago and much better than my Deucetone Rat.

    Just ordered a set of pickup mounting screws and a pair of Foam Pickup Rings for my 620 at Pickofthericks.com





    Maybe I'll get a custom prewired harness for it too, waiting for availability

    Edit: Just ordered a truss rod adjustment tool for it too

    This Vox AC2 RhythmVOX is so small it doesn't deserve a NAD post! (And dang 1,00 limit restricts me posting specs).

    Hee, hee. What a kick! It will never blow the windows out or annoy the neighbors, but that's not the way I roll, anyway.

    Makes my Line6 AMPLIFi 30 look gargantuan by comparison. :)

    See my posts here and here about buying a bass and an amp. They ARE guitar-related, after all. I guess I'm taking 2018 out with a bang!

    i ordered some binder post ring clips to put on the speaker wires for my stereo. Old school Advent speakers and I hate trying to wrap multi strand around binder posts. I'm crimping these suckers on and be done with it. I'm even contemplating spring pins for the back of the receiver wire clamps.

    it's a stretch but sort of guitar related

    Re: What Have You Bought Guitar-Related In The Past 48 Hours?

    Thanks, willie!

    Yes... supposed to look that way.. natural burled poplar PRS SE Custom 24. Without the story it maybe doesn't appear so wonderful as it is to me but she's one of 25 that I never thought I'd ever discover existed. I have her sister in a trampas green quilt ( also limited run of 25 in 2015) but I never thought I'd find another one! My absolute favorites of my entire collection including my USA SG, AmStd, and even my S2. Ebony board, fully bound, amazing fret-work, smoothest satin neck I've ever felt, etc, etc... most wonderful feeling/ playing guitars I've ever had.





    The sisters together-

    Sweet! That last photo, with its sibling and friends really makes it.

    Re: What Have You Bought Guitar-Related In The Past 48 Hours?

    Thank you! I honestly would've taken it in any top/ any color because spec-wise it's identical to the one ( no longer available) that I already have. The first run, PRS did for The Axe Palace in Walpole MA ( 25 trampas green quilts/ 25 blue matteo quilts). Always regretted only getting one considering the craftsmanship and price. Fast fwd 3 yrs to 2018 and doing the 3am scroll-n-droll on Reverb and out of nowhere... Bam! Literally my dream guitar's sister right in front of me! Never knew that PRS contracted an SE exclusive to another music store... this time, 25 in natural poplar burl/ 25 in emerald green poplar burl for Spotlight Music in Ft Collins CO. I don't typically even LIKE burl but I fell in love instantly. Kinda like with my wife but more enthusiastically. So that's the short version of the story. I feel so fortunate to have 2 visually different versions of the exact same guitar... the most comfortable and best playing guitars I've ever had.

    I just received a set of EL34B power tubes and a 12AX7LPS for the phase inverter for my JCM 800. I hope to install them and set the bias tomorrow.

    i went on a spree:

    EH Preacher Bass Compressor--good, not great. Will eventually get a Cali 76. The EH will work for now.
    Boss Bass Chorus--surprisingly good.
    Vox Wah--on it's way, for my guitars
    Pedaltrain pedal board for my guitar pedals, extra strong metal touring case
    Small pedal board for my bass stuff.

    I've had a compressor pedal in my head for a while. The other day I found a good deal on a Marshall Ed-1 comp. Had to grab it.
    I have t on my board, now I have to figure out exactly how I want it and get it set for my rig.
    Also received the other day a upgraded wiring kit for my MIM Tele. Stew Mac's premium set with 4-way switch. Have to figure out how it's going to work out with the Custom Shop Texas Special tele pickups I installed in it back when I got it.

    Small purchase really, but helps me with my amp. Bought a footswitch for my Marshall so I can quit leaning over to switch channels on it. The button on the amp is small, and hard to reach. Besides, I always get a footswitch for my amps anyway eventually. I know its not much, but it helps an old man....

    I just ordered a Rickenbacker original 5-control prewired harness (on Pickofthericks.com).

    One of the previous owners messed with her wiring (good thing he didn’t route it or switch pups or anything) and I like my guitars all stock.
