Pics, cuz it happened…

So, a little over a year ago I contacted our very own Josh Gravelin @JGravelin about a bridge pickup for my Talladega. The stock DD is a cool pickup. Kind of a fat Tele if I had to describe it. For a while I had a Duncan custom shop humbucker in it and then put the DD back in for a few years. I...

Love my IR-J. These preamp pedals are the next big thing. I can see myself getting one more of a different variety to increase variety.

Jazzburst is one of my favorite finishes. 🤤 How long have you lived in Urbana? I grew up in Tuscola and lived in Champaign/Urbana for 8 years until 2004.

Ok, I got trade-in offers from Dave’s and CME. Gonna take it in to GC on Monday and see what they’ll give me on trade.  CME quoted me a market range of $1500-$1700 and offered me a % of that (understandably so cuz they’ve got to take some time to list it, make some money on it, etc…) I’ll do...

$1,700 for the pair.  I’ll be up in Milwaukee mid-November. If no-one here wants it then I’ll likely see what Dave’s will give me for it in trade. 

I had a Diablo at one time. Early 90’s, ‘93-‘94 I think…?  I remember the neck on mine being pretty substantial. Everything else I’ve ever heard from here was that they were on the slim side. Mine was trans red with a non-reverse headstock. I threw a pair of Duncan Distortions in it and it...

You buy the Friedman and I’ll boil that fucker myself 

Hell, I’ll meet you halfway and lunch is on me. 😉

October bump…
