Guitar Gear Forum

Some familiar names, cheers to a proper introduction

Some of my gear:





2012 Fender Select. Maple/Alder body, Sanded the neck to natural, SRV texas specials middle and neck with a gotoh trem.




1988 475XL Special with the rare desert crackle faded nitro finish. Converted to passives.




2010 ESP Custom Special order. Changed the neck contour and thickness and ordered snow white, which has never been offered in the USA.


2005 RG1570 Cosmos with some finish work that I have done.

Welcome.

Don't lurk. Post up.

We are a wild bunch, but always helpful.

Nice gear dude!!!!

Nice stuff! Good folks here! Jump in!!

Thanks for the compliments and warm welcome

Man, those Splawn cabs are pretty. The tolex on the corners is so perfect, I thought for a minute it was a spray coat.

Good eye - it is spray coated

I had the cabinets coated with duratex. Splawn has a special method of application that makes it look like tolex

If weight equals inferiority then you would be right - those cabinets weigh just as much as I do

Yeah the Ibby finish I am responsible for. Took the guitar completely apart and spent quite a few hours bringing the finish back up to a mirror shine. It was part of a collection fromf a store owner in SC. I did an even trade with another guitar, and gave it some TLC. It now has a JB in the bridge, PAF in the neck. One of the best playing guitars in the lot

Thanks man

Amps aren't really all that special. 5150 II that is far from stock, and a low serial number '94 mesa Tremoverb. I did gut the 5150 II and turned it into a 2 channel amplifier. Currently working on a lead volume/gain boost design to replace the crunch channel. I much preferred the lead channel gain turned down for crunch. Sounds good.

The tremoverb is under the knife. Designing a quad bias system and beefing up the power supply for quad KT88's. Improving a few designs, and currently board designing in what little free time I have.

you seem allright, glpg80
in the sense that you are also a nerd.

I do my best to keep it off the forums these days. I should be trying harder

Hey Matt! Cool to see ya on this side of the fence.

Danno! Sup man.

How is the new route?

ACtually it sucked.....bid off it on to another one. This one is DEEP IN THE HOOD!
But its pretty decent to carry. Hows things?

Mailman poon.,.....

Welcome man! I'm pretty sure I remember you from HCAF.....didn't you have an avatar of a kid with a "beard beanie" for a while? Or did I just imagine that?

Awesome gear!!
