    Anybody watch "Some Assembly Required" on the Discovery Channel last night? Hosts Brian and Lou travel to the Gibson guitar factory to handcraft a classic six-string Les Paul electric guitar. It was a good 15 minute factory tour. Some of the old vintage guitars are selling up to $100,000.00.
    Guitars:

    Electric: Washburn HB-30, Squier Tele Custom Deluxe, Jay Turser Strat.
    Acoustic: Seagull S6.

    AMPs: VOX AD30VT, Peavey Envoy 110.

    Modelers: V-AMP 2, Digitech RP-100A.

    Pedals: Boss RC-2 Loop Station, Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble, Digitech Bad Monkey, Ibanez DE7 Delay/Echo, DOD VFX40B 7-Band Graphic EQ, Ibanez CS-5 Super Chorus.

    I caught it - pretty nicely done. The Gibson factory looks much bigger and busier than the Fender factory which I've only seen in short video clips.

    I'll have to catch it again - my dogs dragged me out for a walk in the middle of it !

    We usually get Discovery shows 1 - 2 weeks after the US
    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

    Warren bro...you must get a dual tuner TIVO....so you can record 2 programs at once....or record one and watch another...

    I have a series 1 single tuner that does not require a tivo subscription that I would part with cheaply to a fellow fretter.
