A nice triple neck in 1953! Bob, you had it made!

I was kind of thinking more along these lines, listing gear used:

1954 Fender Pro Deluxe 8, stock with original
Trapezoid direct string pickups.

If it is indeed a '62 and it is a Deluxe, it will most likely be the non Reverb 6G3 circuit. Also know. as a brownface deluxe amp. These are known for their great overdrive qualities. The most Marshal ...

I too like hearing the details on all the gear used. I am nuts about music gear. It's fun and interesting. I can't seem to ever get bored of it or run out of new things to learn or try. From guitars, ...

Maybe it's just me, and to each their own, but I kind of frown little when I hear of people parting out vintage. Parting out, because it's worth more than selling the whole unit. I don't know why I do ...

Being fairly new to NPS guitars, this is my first glance at a Guyatone. At first sight I thought it was a Stringmaster. Did Fender have anything to with the Guyatone? Or just give them inspiration? Wh ...

Cool Ben, yours is identical to mine it seems. You mentioned replacing one set of tuners. Were they broken? Seized up? What did you use for replacements? I suspect any stock replacements would be very ...

Thanks for posting Ben. Please post a photo of you Dual 8 here. I'd love to see it.

This is good info. Thanks very much. I will try some of your suggestions. I knew something was up. I have been playing around with blues licks but I do want to learn some old country as well. I neck t ...
