Fellow pickers,
I'm now back in ol' Sweden after a fantastic road trip in the US of A!

Sorry for not answering y'all - been travelling. Am now outside of Phoenix, Az. Honestly, I can go more or less anywhere in Tx. Am on a 3500 mile roadtrip in the South West just to meet local people, ...

Hi guys!
First - being a Swede, excuse my lack of vocabulary... the language barrier...

Another one for Clem's booklet. But not just that. Clem is THE go-to guy if you need your pp properly adjusted or fixed. Anyone can make things shine, but to actually get your pp as good as it gets - ...

This guitar - as a beautiful and great instrument as it is - is not to be considered a bolt-on. ItÂ´s a wood neck - thatÂ´s it. A bolt-on is a guitar with a bolt-on changer in combination with an ...

Honestly, Clem Schmitz is THE guy to go to if you want to have your pp set up to perfection. You donÂ´t know how a pp should feel and work until youÂ´ve sat behind one worked over by Clem. Clem ra ...

Over at my side of the pond IÂ´ve done 6 gigs over 4 weeks time this summer. All outdoor. 2 on PSG and 4 on the bass. Pretty fortunate having those opportunities these days I guess.

Mike JohnsonÂ´s red pushpull is a 1982 model. It has the old original chrome surrounded BL705s.

Clem Schmitz has serviced that guitar all the time he resided in Nashville. Even some years after ...

My 1982 PP Blondie! Love her!

MikeÂ´s "famous red" is a 1982 push pull w/ orig BL 705Â´s. He cares very much for that guitar - heÂ´s had it for many, many years. He doesnÂ´t fly it to gigs - he brings a LLG for t ...
