An update! I got two very nice strong black plate RCA 6l6gcs from ebay, total cost $85, they are without a doubt the bomb.. in this amp 6l6gc to me sounds much better than el34s; super happy about this and now I'll look for another pair, but at half power it sounds phenomenal and the overdrive tone and harmonics are that Indescribable goodness that in my experience only comes with old tubes

FYI/PSA... I have this item in my Reverb watch list, and the seller sent me an offer for $1800.

BIG BUMP for the Earl Slick guitar and a price drop.

Who here bought it? I was having a hard time resisting. Had I not recently bought a new Gibson Studio Session that would have been mine.

How to get "woman tone".....

This is a question for the tinkerers: is there much of an audible (noticeable) tonal difference in replacing tone caps? Either in changing the value or the brand? Does the pickup matter , i.e., P90 vs HBs vs single coils? thanks

This is a great thread. Hamerhead, a Junior like that is my dream!

Nice score, congrats!

I dunno, he didn't have any tremors during the intro. 2nd time I saw Sabbath was the Born Again tour. That album was weak, but the tour was tremendous. They did some deep cuts like Rock n Roll Doctor and Supernaut. He had his congas onstage and was beating on them during instrumental passages. They encored w/ Smoke On The Water! I saw Deep Purple twice on the Perfect Strangers tour, 1st was the night before I had to take the SATs, 2nd was headlining the Texxas Jam. Good times.

Sherman, Set The Wayback Machine to 2007 & Another C/O Build at the Hamer Shop. Words & Pictures by Jol Dantzig. December 19, 2007 "Kimono Gold" Greg V Talladega Project One of my inspirations for the Talladega came from listening to Greg V's CD Tailgate Troubadour. Introduced by a mutual friend, Greg and I developed a bond over the course of time I was immersed in the development of the Talladega and the Double D pickups. His input was instrumental in the direction I took. Our conversations about attack, decay and string separation drove me to evaluate pickup after pickup and prototype after prototype. When I shipped the first Talladega to Greg, I waited nervously for days before he called with his feedback—I wanted him to love this guitar they way I did, because it was so intertwined with our friendship. Happily, he did, and so does just about anyone else who's played one. Of course, as is often the case, Greg wanted a second one. For an encore, I decided to make Greg an even more special guitar with a cool finish based upon an eighty year old "lost art" technology that was used on old resonator guitars. I knew Greg was a fan of Gold top guitars, so I went ahead and finished off his new axe in gold crystalized lacquer and complemented the old-school appearance with distressed nickel hardware. It's not really a Designer model, but I wanted to share it, so enjoy. Oh, and don't forget to click on the photos to see 'em up close!

Thanks, I was actually looking at this one but decided for humbucker routed and no headstock repairs...👍🏼

Lots of microphone wagging going on. Or is that just part of being 80? Not sure if he could sing Highway Star anymore but he's holding his own in this tune. I hope I can still sing at 80. https://youtu.be/u6jXzpZ9zZk?si=3TyQJz3FdTvmXIdh

I got one on the way.

Sideways Y.

Bass higher and guitar lower but not that low or that high….

Why?

Just covering the belly button.

My R0 has a nylon nut. No tuning issues and sustains forever.

Then definitely the Artist... they really are great guitars... regret selling mine and need to look for another "plain no frills" one🤘👽
