The most important stat is a wound 3rd.
Is Deoxit safe for an amp input? I have some of that handy.
Only a month or two old, it's a new Mesa Boogie. If it's one of those things, why or how does unplugging and replugging in the cable make a...
I have a strange situation where I hear a constant background noise whenever I first power up my amp and take it out of Standby mode. The noise is...
Yeah, essentially it seems to be both a headroom and mid scoop issue. Now that I've figured out a better EQ for me with this amp (way more Mids),...
I recently switched from a Princeton Reverb to a Mesa/Boogie California Tweed. The Mesa is fantastic. Between the two amps, the EQ on the...
Yes. It happens whether a guitar is plugged in or not. Whenever a lead/cable is plugged in to Input 1, guitar included or not, that’s when it happens.
It’s hard to describe this sound, but it’s like a faint “dial tone” background noise. It shows up as soon as you turn the amp on and the tubes...
Right, but I’m comparing 2020 ‘61 USA RIs to Custom Shop variants. There’s also other anomalies, like my 2013 Standard, which has pointers (was...
I’m talking about specifically 2020 USA RIs, which have ABR-1, etc.
‘61 RIs have ABR-1 and knob pointers. I can’t fathom what the difference between pickup rings might be (lol), but you’re right on the reflector...
I'm fairly certain the new Gibson regime versions use actual bumblebee/paper in oil caps in the Custom Shop models. I don't necessarily view this...
I think I get what you're both saying. From an external perspective, the "heel" on the outside of the neck where it meets the body definitely...
Yes, this. My 2020 Les Paul Standard had a very light brown rosewood fretboard. I immediately thought, “Oh no, the dryness!” But of course, it’s...
Not an SG, but the 2020 Les Paul Standard 50s (P-90s) Goldtop I recently purchased new was close to flawless. The nitpick I would have is that...
I think it's pretty common for those to not fit exactly, due to variances with wood and plastic, etc. At least that's been my experience. They...
Interesting you say this. My 2020 Les Paul has "whiter" cream binding, like your lower examples, but my 2013 SG Standard has pinkish binding.
Curious what the fine folks think: If you could get a gently used Gibson Custom Shop VOS '61 reissue for ~$1,000 more than a brand new 2020 Gibson...
Sorry for the delay, here’s a few pics with the new tuners. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
It has the modern tuner screws rather than push-in bushings. (Which is not surprising, since it isn't Custom Shop.)
