An old pal of mine who was into building amps once made a Marshall 18-Watt clone with a switch that bypassed its tone stack entirely. Possibly the best-sounding amp I've ever played through with its t ... | |

I seem to recall that the original Deluxe 34 did offer (or custom-create?) bent brackets that supported a guitar at the edges and allowed for a carved body.
Unfortunately I see nothing like this on ... |

I prefer to use plastic fingerpicks on my resos, because they are louder than metal picks, you can really dig in with 'em, and they don't fly off your fingers as easily as the metal ones when you do. ... | |

The two BR-9s pictured above both are sporting Sentell pickups. I think they sound great. Your new LS5 will almost certainly fit perfectly inside one of George's beautiful new mounting plates ... |

My P90 arrived today and the OEM doghouse does not fit over it. I thought that this might be the case as the P90 is a DiMarzio Super Distortion.

I have yet to find a source for the postwar ivory 481 knobs, the the brown prewar (and postwar KEH) 481 knobs are readily available -- but they're quite spendy. PM for more info. | |

Gibson also used the brown 481 knobs on their postwar Kalamazoo KEHs, and ivory 481s on all but the very first BR-9s.

If I were Marty I would feature him on steel on at least a couple of numbers.
Agreed. But then again, I am not Marty. (Nor is anyone else.) |

If you wanted to, you could consider the common 6-string C6 tuning (lo to hi: C-E-G-A-C-E) or 8-string tuning (lo to hi: A-C-E-G-A-C-E-G) to be Am7. Same notes; same intervals. | |
