    I'd be embarrassed as a guitarist to play through such slop, Don. Why don't you go to Best Buy? They have little amps there that'll make you sound like a pro. Shoot, I'll go to Best Buy and pick one up, and we can make a trade. It's pretty even, but I'll throw in a pack of Best Buy brand strings. Top of the line, top of the line.

    Ha! I was afraid you were going to tell the truth- something about my skills not being up to the level of the gear!

    I bought the Nova used in almost mint condition for a lot less than the guy I bought it from paid for it new 9 months ago!

    Great looking amps. I hope you get a lot of pleasure out of them.

    As for being worthy of the gear. I'd be playing a cardboard box with one rubber band for a string if things went that way.

    I could get into one of those. If I still carried lunch to work. Working from home these days, though...

    Hey, remember those lunch boxes that had a Thermos® bottle snugged into the lid?

    I can't get nostalgic about lunch boxes--the boxes were cool enough, but the glass or whatever on the inside of those thermoses broke so easily. We're talking late 60s, early 70s. I had three over elementary school time, and each one of them: broken glass. Plus other thermoses to replace them: more broken glass. And if you forgot them at school and had gotten milk in the thermos, by the next day, you had a rancid mess. If you left it over the weekend, you came back on Monday to find that a giant clabbered milk monster had eaten the principal, all of your teachers, and their aides. And you were happy, but then you found out the milk monster had eaten your crush, sweet little thing, now part of the milk monster's stomach.

    I really need to get a job.

    audio technica ATH-M50x headphones, I was getting tired of switching the Sony back and forth between the audio interface and the computer. Sooner or later I was going to lose the 1/8" to 1/4" adapter.

    Plus the ATH-M50x have the option of using straight cables as well as coiled. When playing guitar the coiled cables were a bit of a nuisance.

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

    I've been itching for a super Strat for years and have had a few guitars to try to get that thing- Hamer Diablo, Carvin Bolt with a Floyd, and a Carvin DC135. I played a Big Apple Strat years ago and loved the sounds that it offered, but it's not a type of guitar that I want to spend a lot of money on.

    I received a Carvin Bolt kit build yesterday. It's got two humbuckers and currently has a 3 position toggle switch on it. I've got a 5 position super switch coming today. The one piece alder body and maple neck have a tung oil finish. The frets are in great shape on the ebony fretboard.

    It showed up dirty with rusty strings. I took the whole thing apart, cleaned it and applied lemon oil to the whole guitar. The guitar is built with good components and just needed cleaning, re-stringing and setup other than my desire to have a 5 position switch with humbucker and single coil sounds.

    I'll post my own pic after I wire it and set it up later today.

    Nice score, Don! I like the looks of it much more than a Fender Super Strat, but then again, I'm partial to natural finishes like that.

    just bought a 22 fret maple fingerboard Tele neck from the Chinese factory that made my beloved Squier CV50 neck. Looking forward to this one. Got an MJT body that I bought 2 or 3 years ago (dang, how does that happen the time going so fast?) that's waiting to be built. I don't even remember what color it is anymore, but I think it's white blonde.

    put in a pre-order for the preamp pedal that I originally thought I bought from a member of another forum but it actually turned out to be the delay the preamp is designed to pair with. Now I'll have both units. For less than the price of the delay alone.

    No money changed hands, but I traded a SS amp I don't use for a jumbo acoustic!

    Never posted these. Thalia makes them. I believe they do some Fenderers as well. Nice and soft. Custom available.

    Bill Moore--

    Congratulations on your jumbo. I'd love to find a good lefty jumbo.

    Enjoy playing it, and give a review if you have time. That's a pretty and interesting looking acoustic.

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

    ch willie, I took the guitar and a set of Martin light gauge strings to my friend Russell. I think the neck could be a little lower also. He played it a while, and started into a story about another fellow, and his wife both have jumbo guitars, and his slim body is being dwarfed while playing in church. I told him this one was a little gaudy, and plenty loud, but didn't think the lord would mind.
    I'm afraid he's gonna want it now!

    Well, Bill, you better grab you a stick in case you have to convince him to give it back. Just kidding, ha ha.

    It really is a beautiful instrument, and I hope you have a lot of great years with it.

    Got an MXR Carbon Copy delay pedal for my bass pedalboard. I can't try it out though because my son is working from here this week, so the house has to be quiet. when he stops working at 7pm, then it's time for us to visit. He'll leave Saturday and the guitars and basses shall sing.

    Cool road case!

    I just received something that I ordered. I probably shouldn't say much about it until I take a pic. It's cool, though.

    Yes, it's a simple "crate style" case. This amp is lightweight and small so wheels and such would be pointless. I liked it a lot.

    I want to get one for a Princeton Reverb size amp. I've had amps get damaged in my car before. It was a Marshall DSL 401. Loved that amp but the pots were mounted to the circuit board and one of them got broken and the amp was never the same.

    2018 PRS S2 Studio. I was interested in these when they came out briefly in 2018, but couldn't afford one at the time. This one's almost like new. It's got some cool tones- I'd say Gretsch-like, but I have no real Gretsch experience to know for sure. My only concern is the teeny tiny little neck. It's a narrow and thin and the round shape seems to make it feel even smaller.

    Great purchase, I was hot for PRS in the early 90s but couldn't afford one, was a student at the time. A Review is mandatory!

    Wow, I didn't know PRS made guitars that looked like that. It reminds me of a pawnshop guitar my brother got for Xmas in 1968. I eventually inherited but never played it, and not sure where it is now, but no one in the family has it. Dumpster probably.

    But I dig that vibe and I dig the fact that you've got an incredible guitar behind the patina.


    Do you think that you'll be able to get used to the small neck?

    That's a pretty guitar. I was seriously considering a PRS SE 245 during my search for a short-scale electric. Thing is, I really wanted a Fender, and when I found a short-scale Tele, I had to jump. The 245 still lingers in my mind...

    Here's where the numbers can let you down! I measured this guitar's neck today and it's actually not small at all! In fact, the numbers would lead me to believe that it'd fit me like a glove! It's 1.679" wide at the first fret, 0.866" deep at the first fret and 0.952" deep at the 12th fret. It's the shape that makes it feel small and that's because of my lousy caveman thumb hanging over the top playing technique. The "Rounded C" nack on my ES-335 was over 0.020" thinner at the first fret and felt a lot larger than this neck.

    Anyway, it's a really cool guitar! I hope to give more details in a separate thread.

    It's a 2002 Classic Series '70s Strat. MIM. Check out my thread on it in the Stratocaster section.

    I donated some money to the Les Paul Forum. Let's face it, the Fender Forum exists only because of the Les Paul Forum.

    I consider that Guitar-Related.
