Hi, all...
FYI, Vinni has gone production with moulded V-Picks in addition to the custom shop models. They are very similar in performance and the quality is still top-notch.
He tells me that...
Haven't been on the forum for a while....man it's grown. Congrats to Robert and all for getting to such a thriving community.
I did the Epi Jr thing about six months ago. I did most of the mods I...
I've tried Davas years ago, but I don't know about the Master Controls. In my opinion, there is really not another pick like the "V". If you like them at all you'll get to loving them real quick and...
Hey, Robert!
What's good about them? Just about everything...
The tone is wonderful for most styles. I like the fact that they are sensitive to attack. They can be very mellow hybrid picking....
These V-Picks are really taking off. Giant threads of raves about them on the PRS and Axe House forums.
I know, I know...I've already written about picks in the product review section.
Truth be known, I'm continually and incessantly searching for that evasive "perfect tone" like many of you are....
Dillions are great!
I have a tele thinline clone, it was so good out of the box, I have never had to do anything to it. It's a nice axe. I also have a Dillion PRS Hollowbody clone, that I have...
Robert,
Blessings, thoughts, and prayers to you, your Dad, and your family.
Over the Christmas/New Year Holidays, I read CLAPTON'S GUITAR by Allen St. John. It's a great book about a luthier and Blugrass/Ole Timey guitarist named Wayne Henderson in Rugby, Virginia. It's a...
Hey, Robert.
I have been out of state for a couple of weeks, so I haven't been lurking on the forum much.
I have a "Premium" model with the soapbar style single coils. It is natural (clear)...
Thanks, guys!
Like someone once sang in a song, "what a drag it is....", but I won't complain
...it beats the alternative.
My vote would be to go for the '69s....That's the first mod I did on my MIM Vintage 50s Strat. FANTASTIC pickups! Smooooth and full with great harmonics, and can put on the attitude, too. That mod is...

You might try this. Coat some hardwood toothpicks in white glue. Force as many as you can into the unwanted holes. When the glue dries, cut off the tops of the toothpicks with an...
Bigbear,
I will have a set available in about a week. I am retrofitting a '51. Wuz going to keep the pickups, but if they'll help you out...
How much is fair? I have PayPal account, do you?
...
Tone,
I don't know if I've ever heard it said better......Amen.
tehuti,
I picked up my Bel Air 2x12 at the Santa Ana store and the extension cab in Hollywood. My only tube amp. Not totally versatile, but very nice tone after swapping out to JJ Tesla tubes....
I saw a "vintage" model Dean resonator yesterday. WOW! It had an antiqued sort of bronze/brown finish on the body. Very cool vibe and pretty nice tone. I think it was like $599.00 or $699.00. A...
I've been wondering about them. I'm thinking about buying one as a gift, and maybe one for myself. Tell us more...
tehuti,
Check out the Agiles www.rondomusic.com , I think you will like them. See other postings in this forum re: my rantings about Agile. They are big bang for the buck.
Welcome to the Forum!

Here's a really cool website for Japanese guitars of the 60s thru 90s. For those of you brave enough to admit to being bored with Fender, Gibson, etc.

I received my '51 on Thursday. I was very pleased to see that it has some pretty nice birdseye action going on on the fretboard. I have already sanded off the decals to ready it for silver spaghetti...

Yeah, and if you really want to be cool (and illegal), light your
Cohibas with hundred-dollar bills.
You did get me to thinking, and I found this info on the web......
Brian May uses an english sixpence in his recipe for tone, many others use coins, picks made of brass, shell, wood, and just about anything else imaginable. I found a guy on the internet who fashions...
