I've had a Quilter Cub for over a year but I'm not in a band right now so have only been able to play it at home. I get an occasional chance to crank it a bit when the folks are all out. It can be quite hard to dial in because there are three inputs (which can be combined) for different Fender...

Washers I got from the DIY shop a few years back. 20 pence each. Never failed.

Awesome!! My Bernie has upgraded tuners and pickups (BKP Abraxas). I wouldn't trade it for an LP Standard.

I can't afford private stock but I couldn't own a great guitar without gigging it although I would probably cry for a long time if anything serious happened to it beyond the usual battle scars.

I have a Bernie SE and an S2 Singlecut. I love them both and the S2 was my gigging guitar for four years. Lately I've been playing the Bernie and my Tele and haven't picked the S2 up in months.

I retired 6 years ago and was playing in bands until Covid struck. I have health issues which meant I kept out of the way and only recently have ventured to pubs a few times. I was very fond of a few pints but stopped drinking shortly after the virus appeared. I now have a few drinks every few...

I gigged a Yamaha THR 100 Dual for few years and loved it. I preferred it to the Cornford Roadhouse it replaced. I got a Quilter Cub last year. I loved it, I hated it and now I love it again. It takes a while to understand how it works particularly the limiter which is essential for tuning your...

Gorgeous!! I have RY's in an S2 Singlecut and they are awesome.

I have the BKP Abraxas set in a Bernie and they are amazing. The neck and bridge match perfectly for me and they can do just about anything. BKP's have become very expensive though.

Your new guitar looks amazing. Congratulations!!

You have to be logged in to visit The Pub I believe.

Agreed. I have the Abraxas set in my Bernie and they are awesome. I've read that the bridge has less top end than a PAF/Mule type pickup which means I can wind the treble on the amp up a bit and get incredible clarity from the neck pickup. I have Rebel Yells in my S2 Singlecut which are also...

I have an S2 Singlecut and a Bernie SE. They have different qualities and I love them both. I do not think the S2 is a 'better' guitar than the Bernie.

In this vid around 2:20 Paul says he doesn't want his guitars to be refretted unless someone has played the hell out of it for 10-20 years. I've had my Bernie and my S2 for about six years and they are both showing very visible wear particularly under the top E.

I have Rebel Yells in a 2015 S2 Singlecut. Really great pickups. The neck on clean-ish settings gives a very fat strat type sound. The bridge has a lot of punch and the low end is really tight and clear, no mud. To me, the RY's are modern but can give a vintage vibe if required, the Abraxas are...
