OP here. Maybe we can drop back to talking about Singlecuts in a nice black finish?

There was actually an Artist Package Singlecut with an ebony board and rosewood neck. And it had a natural finish, which I don’t personal care for, so ai wouldn’t have minded doing a refin to black. But that was getting into silly $$ territory already, nervermind new hardware and pickups.

Do I dare? Is it the one that triggered me a while back as it is? Let’s find out.. Ok.. yeah, that’s one of them. And there was one more. I think it was an artist relations singlecut that had soapbar pickups, one piece McCarty bridge bridge, and binding. Can’t find it though.

Core 594 Singlecut, solid black nitro, ebony board, gold hardware. It’s a classic combo. But I think it’d have to be a dealer WL run to get the ebony board and gold hardware, even though the solid top color doesn’t need a nicer flame pattern (or any flame). If you can even find a black 594, and...

I had a refinish done by the PTC on a CE-22. When the factory does it, its a no brainer to me if you can spend the money. But I’d be selective about which outside shop I’d send it to.

Of course Cambridge has published a journal essay on the topic. And of course it’ll cost you $25 to know the answer. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/popular-music/article/abs/power-ballad/33764F82EAF2A3EBD19A77A5DC23827F#

Yeah I was just reading that Line 6 doesn't isolate the ground on the switching system. So it can create a ground loop and induce hum when connecting to another amp.

You'll see in this video that the FS1M is just your basic latching footswitch. I don't know why the manual says not to use others.

I'm still looking for my hands-down favorite clean sound from an amp. I like my Electra-Dyne with a Blue Note in front to brighten it up, but I'd love to get the tone I want without a pedal - for cleans anyway. Curious to try a Badlander. Or a Matchless :rolleyes: Mesa Dual Rectifier - I have...

This is why some ingenious YouTubers are making guitar bodies out of concrete, and necks out of aluminum. A) can live in a trunk just fine B) great for rear wheel traction in winter

See my post 2 spots above yours.

Jon has done similar videos before. Really like his playing. I agree that listening to 50 different high gain examples is a bit fatiguing in one go. I can’t do it myself, and I like high gain tones. But I don’t think of these videos as really having that as the main purpose, actually. More like...

I forgot to reply to this. For me, ‘chime’ is a sharper attack, bright, but with some grit and harmonics in those upper midrange and treble frequencies. I think it combines well with a ‘plunky’ guitar tone, but there are probably a number of guitar setups that can get you that. I keep coming...

My body was fine, car was fixed, ego was totaled.

Another vote for black. I may have a chance later today to do a quick mockup for you.
