January 23, 20232 yr Another one that came to mind is what sounds like a car horn in “Just Got Paid”.
January 25, 20232 yr Having been to Michigan in the 90's for work, it's amazing to me that they produce anything, nevermind anything of quality. Glad I'm wrong. Michigan is basically the canary in the American coal mine IMHO.
January 25, 20232 yr I got the 50s wiring harness from JonseyBlues installed in the SG last night. The aged nickel PAFs from Mojotone look amazing, but I stalled out getting the spring screws to grab, and since I wasn't going to try my hand at soldering, I dropped it off at the guitar tech today. Looking forward to having it back soon.
January 25, 20232 yr Popular Post The American Deluxe Tele w Pure Vintage '64's saw some action last night at a benefit for a friend who just had a brain tumor removed. It was basically Dirty Years, but with a different singer and lyrics.The Koffs played too. I think we raised a lot of cash.
January 25, 20232 yr That is awful. So I’m going to go repost it to some other guitar buds right now.

January 28, 20232 yr I didn't realize Epiphone got rid of the round notches on the pointy ends of the headstock, I guess for their higher line of stuff. That definitely makes them more attractive and Gibsonesque.
January 29, 20232 yr Author oooh I'm interested to hear how that goes. Some kind of Les Paul Junior/Special has been on my list for a minute. Rip Tom Verlaine. I think most associated with a jazzmaster but lots of pics with him and this interesting lipstick pickup strat

Only difference is my Epi 339's headstock is a bit longer. Edited January 30, 20232 yr by hullabelew

February 1, 20232 yr Have any of you run into a guitar/amp combo that JUST DOESN"T WORK? My Vox "Tony Bruno" combo is crapping out. Probably a power tube, I haven't taken it in yet. I borrowed my buddy's Fender Deluxe Reverb in the meantime. It sounds fantastic with my G&L ASAT Tribute Bluesboy Tele, almost better than the Vox. I broke a string in rehearsal the other night, so I grabbed my Warmoth partscaster strat and plugged in . . . oof. A terrible match. I just couldn't get it to sing at all. Must be the pickups.

I'm having a hellacious time getting my AM Std Strat to play nice with my Super when it's breaking up. Cleans are OK, but I just can't get it decent on OD. I hope to have my Strat Plus back soon so maybe those pickups will work better.

I assume you mean that the amp is driving okay, but the guitar just doesn't sound as good as your StratPlus. Have you tried it through the normal channel (a little hotter on that amp, if I recall correctly). Bridged the channels? Fiddled with the tone knobs on the amp and guitar? Do the tone knobs on the 6g4 behave like they do on the 5f4, where the treble is basically a drive knob?

Do the tone knobs on the 6g4 behave like they do on the 5f4, where the treble is basically a drive knob? I've actually never played the Strat Plus through it. I'm just spitballing it may be better with the pickups I have in it. From channel to channel has not been a huge change I've found. Somewhat better on Normal, but it's mostly just the character of the distortion is not super pleasing. My next move is swapping out the V1 tube. I put NOS 5881s in it the other day but that was almost zero effect. If pre tubes don't do much I'm going to start tinkering with the cap values on the normal channel. The controls are a bit different on the 6G4A, it's three generations removed from the 5F4 (5G4, 6G4 in between).

Beautiful cleans, but ratty fizzy breakup. I had it modified to change the way the preamp tubes clipped and eventually sold it because I liked my Deluxe Reverb loads more. Good luck.

Yeah, not going to lie, listening to it next to the brown Deluxe is making it sound worse by comparison.
