Epiphone Valve Junior MODS Anyone have access to the Epiphone forums? They aren't registering new members and I need info on the mods that are going around for these amps. I was going to build a small tube amp but for the price of these why bother. Most people are having good luck with the...

OK if you actually know and have experience with the replica Bassman, Champ, and Deluxe amp KITS that are out let me hear what you think. I have read several other threads on here but have not seen a concensus. It appears that one company in knocking out the chassis and the enclosures and...

This is really so pathetic it is kinda silly, but it agrivated me so bad I am going to post it. I went into the place just to see if they had a 137 so I could see it in person, and in their high dollar vintage section they had a used classic for 2500 bucks. I just had to but their balls on it...

If you pull the crap stock 3 pick up assembly out of the things and put in a new guard with some pat # hums or better, they sound great....but don't tell anyone. AND whatever bunch was shaping the necks those years did a pretty good job. I like the maple and mahogany ones, but prefer ebony or...

Just wondering if there is a way to identify them...I can ppost a picture of the magnet in question in the humbucker from the side with the tape removed if that will help..... Thanks !

What the heck are these ? They are marked Gibson on the base in that 80's type script, and have solder on wiring form factor like a circut board exposed on the base. Nickle covers, 6 polepieces, look like standard LP pickups, except from below....may be epoxy on the bottom. They actually...

I have had an early 80's 2 piece flametop with what appears to be an early style small headstock and neck in dimension. It is however clear maple, no volute, and inlaid with what appears to be older looking inlay material. It doesn't look a thing like any of my other 70's-80's Les...
