So my P22 from the MF sale arrived yesterday. I am pretty thrilled with it-I know I need to do an NGD thread with pics for you guys but I haven't had time. In the meantime I have been figuring out how i want to amplify this guitar to take advantage of its capabilities. I want to split the mag...

I just bought a P22 from MF at an ungodly price. The private reserve rep pulled cases for me and went out of his way to help me-he even offered me a setup with my preferred brand and gauge of strings. I got better service over the phone from him than I have ever received from a brick and mortar...

I started my latest guitar search with the thought that I wanted a Les Paul. Began drilling down the choices and got pretty disillusioned. They are really hard to buy online-total crapshoot. Historic prices have shot thru the roof-just too much money for me in the context of the other gear I...

The SP is just fantastic. I have used mine as a lead boost after dirt as well as first in the chain. It pairs really well with the SL drive as well and the tiny footprint is another bonus.
