I was able to purchase a new unused pair of PG-102 from Mark's Guitar loft(instant gratification:salude ) I installed them in my Cherry 2007 R8, that had already been treated to an RS Vintage kit as well as a TonePros bridge and strung with Pyramid Nickel strings. I am truly impressed. These...

Sickness once again struck this morning-dreaded AMP aquisition syndrome.I picked up a Carr Hammerhead.(New old stock-not the Hammerhead II) WOW. 28Watts of EL34 love. Definitely NOT a one trick pony. Absolutely sweet. I highly recommend giving one some play time.:wail

After years of hoarding NOS tubes, I finally decided to try the Emery Sound "Superbaby". Not playing out anymore trying to tame down 50 watts or so to get decent tones and not incur a civil suit from the neighbors I figured the price was right. I emailed Emery Sound and expected a long delivery...

I spoke with Dave on Monday morning and advised him to select one for me and send it UPS overnight. On tuesday morning the brown truck dropped it off to me. For those...

I just installed the Caps and Pots upgrade kit sold by RS Guitar Works. Included is 4 CTS audio taper pots and 2 Hovland caps as well as a bright cap for the neck pick-up and a schematic to change the wiring on my 2002 R8 with 57 Classic Pups. Wow-I'm absolutely amazed at the difference. I had...

Anybody figure out the chord progression in Gov't Mule's "Beautifully Broken"? He uses several voicings that I can't figure out. I think the solo is in A minor. Any clues would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone out there really like the stock ('57) pickups in your R8 or R9. I've had a 2001 R8 for the last couple of months. It weighs about 8.6 pounds and plays absolutely lovely but those pickups lack something. Anyone with suggestions? In the past my favorite Gibson pickups were the 490R and...

Has anyone out there ever dealt with Plexipalace? I'm currently in the market for a 100 watt Marshall Superlead head?
