I had no idea the internal element could be replaced, so I bought a standalone hand unit that plugs into the base ...

Yep, though you're probably not going to save much buying used because most of the time I see used ones they're like $30 below new price so you might as well just grab a new one. They go on sale for various holidays too so you can get them for like $199. You can also get a particular cable to use t...

No worries my friend! The Spark is a REALLY amazing tool, it's basically the next generation of stuff like the Line 6 Pod from back in the day but way more feature-laden and better sounding. They have a huge database (like Line 6 did) of user-created tones that you can download, an app that syncs w...

Oh it's in my original post above, this is just my Spark 40 amp on my coffee table recorded with my iPhone :lol:. Obviously things would sound MUCH better with my actual rig, but the Spark is so convenient I tend to go for that more often than not when I need to record a quick clip or two. I've hea...

What amp (and effects, if any) are you using?

I'm afraid the theory of time travel has been thoroughly debunked.

However, a very real possibility is that it could be a device that allows for instantaneous travel throughout the universe...

I hope not, otherwise I'm in trouble. I've got a few I haven't turned on for several years. I'm now hesitant to even check as I have enough on my to-do list already...

Have you priced a used pinball machine lately? Guy in my area has several for sale ...for about $10,000.00 each!!!!!

A lot of the older juke boxes are up in the five figures too...

My SX Furrian has the same control cavity issue. I started to widen it to accommodate full size pots, then gave up because I was worried about destroying the finish. .. FWIW, I use a Dremel style tool and grind the area of the cavity that the full-size pot comes in contact with but only from the bo...

Yeah. With about $24 tax and even if they went down to $65 shipping, it's more than I'd be willing to pay for the gold top considering it's MGR....

Speaking of tax and FWIW, I just noticed that that they didn't charge me any....

Just checked BOA's website & they've hit my card already.

Mine just did too, got the order confirmation as well...

...John, I share your guess that they are estate guitars. I sometimes wonder if I should leave instructions for the best liquidation of my gear, but fail to make any progress on that. I've made arrangements with a local music shop specializing in guitars and with a big online presence to take care ...

I was able to buy the Agile Tele but haven't been charged yet. $65 shipped too...

...Still looking for a P90 black pickguard. g1.jpgg2.jpgg3.jpg I just measured and If it's an Agile AL-3xxx, a Gibson LP pickguard will fit. It's 2 15/16" between the pickups, and 3 1/16" on the Agile AL2000. If it's a 2000 and you've got some OCD in you like I do where everything has to ...

OK, I called the store, and they will adjust the shipping charge to $65 which is about right for that distance. The manager didn't know how to override the system so the person responsible for internet sales will call me back. Also, nobody died, the previous owner traded them in and bought a couple ...

There are plenty of posts about Gibson gold tops turning green, some seem to like it, some don't. Gibson apparently purposely did it on some of their reissues. I read that it's from the bronze in the paint oxidizing...

You should check out Thomann's site, they've got quite a selection over several price points:

Gold top turns greeny. I'm afraid to take mine out of the case because if it looks as bad as that I'll be firing up the belt sander. I think (and hope) it's just a case of a cell phone camera not being able to capture true colors, especially under fluorescent light. It's most likely the light and c...

Don´t think we forget about your gig tomorrow, Tommy @tlarson58 ! Everything´s good and ready? Pics and videos would be great! Enjoy it! Thanks for following up! I'm a bit nervous. It''s sounding like everybody and their neighbor is coming. Think of it as a warmup for the later stadium gigs, maybe ...

Thanks for the heads-up, a solid body Agile Tele is on my bucket list. I'm going to call the store tomorrow and see if they can give me a better shipping rate. They're just outside of Atlanta, and shipping from there to South FL shouldn't cost $106. I did not see any of those when I checked the MGR ...

Are you sure you didn't mean "Hooked on a Feeling"?

Upon further reflection and assuming that the broken one you're talking about is on the right-side flange, then one of those nut/clip combos like the one that Partscaster linked to should solve the problem. I'd be proactive and replace the one that's still good as well, because you know how the univ...

Sold a few things on FB marketplace. The upside is IMHO, it is safer than CL. You'll still get the Zelle scammers, but you can report them. The downside is, not everything sells and, in my experience, it has been slow. So be patient. The only issue I had with CL in the past is that what should have...

Pretty eclectic mix....
