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

Does an authorized dealer have to stick to the MRSP?

New American Ultras and Player Plus models being discounted. Indication of things to come?

Wanna try out an affordable offset? I just posted this on Craigslist. It seems easier for me to provide you photos that way. Please jump om this before some CL knucklehead comes my way. Never having had a Fender offset, I opted for this. The Puisheen guy below is all to blame. The Jazzmaster guy. He even has a promo at the Fender / Squier website. After purchase, I had my local guy set this up, check out the whammy, -11s, polish frets etc. Bought a new Gator Jazzmaster case. This is as Like New as they come. I'm following the one -in/ one out rule. I just bought a Gibson SG Classic. $500 via Paypal Family and Friends to HFCers with free shipping to lower 48. I pack well and ship pronto. No trades. Price is HFC friendly. No trades. Thanks for looking. https://cleveland.craigslist.org/msg/d/cleveland-squier-40th-anniversary/7838663272.html

Found them Maybe 25+ photos, including pickups, case, etc . Now what? Files too large to post here. I think these are worth sharing/saving for the record/ It's a one-off.

I bought it from Greg V. Had lots of photos on Photobucket, including many closeups, but I closed the account. Can you look for postings under my HFC name? I’ll look for them on my PC or God knows where. I may have taken them on a Samsung Galaxy. This is why e photos have some limitations.

Saw him at the Cleveland Agora in 1978 when he released the solo album. For some reason I keep thinking it was reviewed by - - the Wall Street Journal. Damn, if I put together a personal top 10 concerts list, that would probably survive the cut. The power of that band was off the charts. Would anyone know who was in the band back then? BTW the elpee got wavied in the back seat of my car. Never replaced it. The Wild, the Innocent and The E Street Shuffle suffered the same fate a couple years earlier. RIP. Thanks for the experience and memories.

Several years ago I bought the Gibson 50th Anniversary Townshend P90 Special when Wildwood was clearing them out for $999. It sounded terrific. really terrific. I don’t remember how many Hamer P90 Specials went through my hands because they didn’t do it for me as much as I kept looking. I wasn’t bonding with the 50th Anniversary neck wise, scale length, width and radius but I’m willing to give it another try, I can get a long with most any neck shape. The used 50th s out there are too high IMHO and I haven’t seen a clean one. Maybe I’ll wait but why. You may have seen the Greg Koch demo. Gibson has had a recant similar version (not Alpine White) but with features similar to the 50th, including the lightning bar wraparound tail piece. Retail is $1600. Any alternatives to the current Gibson SG Special Heritage? P90s, wraparound Not interested in humbuckers or Epiphone versions. used VSOP? something or other? Not a Junior not an Eastman. what about TOM versions. Any other advice such as replacing the lightning bar? thinking the tailpiece is key. I’m sure many of you have been down this road. thanks in advance.

Anybody buy/keep one? Either the P90 or humbucker variant, either the Standard or Pro models? There are so many reviews on YT. Does a reviewer have to inform the public that the manufacturer or a jumbo retailer like Sweetwater put one in their hands as a loaner or freebie? I’m intrigued by the guitar but it’s hard to find a really objective review, especially when the reviewer don’t understand/explain the onboard boost or delay feature. It seems like a lotta guitar for the money (chambering, SS frets, etc) but i’m not sold on the electronics.

Anybody else catch them in Chicago on Halloween 1969 at Aaron Russo’s Kinetic Playground? Liverpool Scene (?) opened. The Kinks followed with their opera Arthur (dedicated to The Who) and then reprised their other great stuff. I was/am a huge Kinks fan. The Who followed and in turn dedicated Tommy to The Kinks. The Who’s “encore” was essentially Live at Leeds but four months BEFORE Leeds. Mind you all of this was ten weeks after Woodstock. I knew the storm was gathering when Keith’s kit was nailed to the floor or riser (can’t remember which). Those were the days. And all for $5.

I had four that had Duncan Double Ds Best guitars i ever had

Is the shop anywhere near the fires? And the warehouse? sure hope not any update on his health?
