NGD: Gibson Firebird V
I took a resistance reading of these stock pickups and I thought something was broken. Neck read 15K ohms and the bridge read 23K ohms. Then I found out that's normal because these are ceramic magnets and very thin wire. The correct pickups would read 6.1 ish for the neck and 6.7 ish for the... -
It Followed Me Home, I Think I'll Keep It
The things I would do to that guitar... I'd play it dirty. (Congrats on your Holy Grail amp. She's a beauty! See what I did there?) -
NGD: Gibson Firebird V
Thanks! I was looking at Onamac but I'll check out the Mojo Tone ones. -
NGD: Gibson Firebird V
I plan to get ohm readings on these. If they're higher than mid 6, I'm gonna swap them. In the neck pocket is "VS"= Vintage Sunburst I assume that's "VS F 10"? Vintage Sunburst Firebird but what would the 10 be for? It's a little sloppy in here. Hard to say if that's factory or if... -

New Gibson Jimmy Page double neck
I played an EDS-1275 once and I found it to be really impractical. I thought it was cumbersome and not really for me. -
NGD: Gibson Firebird V
They were stock starting in 2010 and used through 2017 or 2018, iirc. -
NGD: Gibson Firebird V
I'm a huge fan of Johnny Winter's style of playing and his tone so I've been lusting after a Polaris White Gibson Firebird for awhile but the $3500+ price tag has given me pause. I started looking at the Vintage Sunburst ones and I bought this last Saturday. I couldn't let it get away as the... -

Any SLO-30 owners here?
Yes. You can dial in really nice cleans on the OD channel. If you do, you can then dial in a great crunch on the normal channel and your switching is sorted. Like @Family Man said, I play mostly on the crunch setting of the normal channel. But, this amp does it all and does it all very well...- Torren61

Guitar Kit
I do understand why folks would buy a guitar kit but I'm always thinking "What am I getting fro under $200?" For ME, I'd prefer to start with somehting like a worn out and beat up Iceman and restore it. Costs more but look at what you have by the end of it. OR, buy just the body and neck and... -
Gibson X - Jimmy Page
ES-1275s are the epitomy of impractical. They are uncomfortable (to me) as well. They are not daily players. -
Have you ever built a guitar from parts?
This thread title made me chuckle. It's like asking the people in the bar if they've ever had a beer. -
Gibson X - Jimmy Page
How many songs with iconic guitar riffs written by Jimmy Page can you name? On top of those, he's played in many many famous songs by other artists and you may not even know it was him. His value and contribution to Rock and Roll cannot be overstated. And people are always looking for a way... -
Anybody else stopped looking at new guitars?
The last new guitar I bought was a Danelectro 12 string just so I could fool around with "When The Levee Breaks". The rest of my guitars are used but high end. Trades, trades plus cash or cash for used guitars is what I've been doing. I pretty much have all the guitars I've wanted. So, I'm... -

Converting An EF86 Back To 12AX7
Yeah, I appreciate the input but I want to fix the problem. There IS a proper fix. Of that, I'm sure.- Torren61

Converting An EF86 Back To 12AX7
It always sounded like that. I can dial in cleans and crunch and high gain and ultra high gain and "Plaid" gain which is too much. How does one lower the gain on the EF86? Thanks for taking the time to fool with this.- Torren61
