Re: Tech Question for Amp Gurus
I'm not close to being a guru, just used a lot of gear over decades, so take with a lump of salt... You're not likely going to get a very good line level match between a line out and an effects return, but you're also not going to blow anything up. If you can control the level of the line out from t...

Incoming Agiles
Today I saw a new Reverb seller with a gaggle of cool lefties all at once. Several really caught my eye, but 2 more than the others, and his prices were reasonable. The only problem is he's across the Atlantic ocean from me, and, well, trans-atlantic shipping costs are horrible these days. I shot hi...

Re: Odd Rondo interaction
What this experience tells me is Kurt is still having a little bit of trouble keeping his listings ummm, up-to-date and accurate. It IS hard to get good help. ;) Exactly. And it is really hard running a small business - you have to wear many hats concurrently and can't always deal with all the deta...

Re: Odd Rondo interaction
It's getting weirder. Even though Kurt canceled my Rondo site order of the maple fretboard Hawk, he just now messaged me on Reverb that they only have that guitar with a maple fretboard. Seriously! I told him I'd take either, but it felt like he was messing with me after last week's maple board canc...

Oh now I see. That's what Gibson was trying to do, jump guitars. They just didn't do it well.

Re: Odd Rondo interaction
After a few hours, I saw he didn't modify either listing, so I went ahead and purchased via Reverb this time. Hope that works.

Saturday I was cruising Reverb and saw this P90 equipped SX Hawk discounted. I already have this exact model, but thought for $159.95, I could grab another one to mod.

Dad joke problem
It's good because I could point to it and say that's "Jean Luc Pickguard".
It's bad because it might be the worst guitar dad joke ever.

Re: Sam Ash To Shutdown Remaining Stores
Sad stuff. In my opinion Sam Ash had a good model. As a long term customer, I never had a bad experience with them either.

Re: New GC direction
I guess I'm confused and pardon me because I haven't been to GC in about 10 years. But didn't they always have a 'high end' room where you could play and test some higher end stuff off the floor, usually only reserved for 'serious' buyers ? Depends on what city you visit. Mine only has 2 huge secti...

Wow, I disagree with almost everything GC's new CEO has to say. https://www.guitarworld.com/news/guitar-center-new-ceo-future He says the "gigging artist" is not being served because GC doesn't focus on high end guitars. How many gigging artists does he know? Anyone want to take an R9 to a...

Nice use of data tracking
Yesterday, I decided my Jaguar build really deserved a case, so I looked for the best price. Everyone had the Gator Jaguar (GWE-JAG) case at $119.99, which is a little more than I thought it should be. That's the same price as the SJM case at Rondo, but Rondo doesn't do free shipping, so I dove furt...

Re: Vocal mics?
On sale at Musician's Friend for $30 (it often is), is a Digital Reference drv200. Fairly close to the Shures, but a budget version. I have a pair just in case I need extras. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/digital-reference-drv200-dynamic-lead-vocal-mic/430558000000000?cntry=US&cur=US...

Re: Incoming: Rafferty semi-hollow
The neck is comfortable to me. It's not a baseball bat or super thin, somewhere right between. The fretboard radius is 16" across the entire fretboard.andrewsrea wrote: ↑Sun Mar 31, 2024 10:08 am Let me know how the neck feels. Imports are coming in lately with a flatter fretboard radius than I like.

Re: NGD: Rafferty
I appreciate that info! Don't kill yourself looking, I don't need it to travel. Worst case scenario, I could get it one of these for $30. Supposedly it has 20mm padding in all directions. https://www.americanmusical.com/world-tour-deluxe-es335-electric-guitar-gig-bag/p/WOR-ESAG20DN?utm_source=google...

I've had a couple of days with it now, and have done some tweaking. The mark under the volume pot pictured above was polish, not a ding. It rubbed right off. After adjusting the pickups to where my ears like them most, I have no intention of replacing these pickups. They're actually great, articulat...

Re: Vintera II Jazzmaster
I like it all except those saddles - I'd swap those. probably for Mustang saddles for better control of string spacing. Since they won't make them lefty, I won't have to worry about it. I think the extra metal resonance he talks about is due to the long distance from the trem to the bridge. It's fun...

Rafferty is a new budget brand that just popped up recently. Of course I have no affiliation. Their website is not even finished yet, and there are no reviews out there. As such, I will go in-depth to share my buying experience for this forum. I took a chance on it, and it's a mixed bag. There is a ...
