Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!
I saw a gear page post that Ed King has passed away, I hope its not
true.

I sold my last tube amp last summer to help fund my home purchase.
Ive been rocking the Boss Katana since.
Due to availability of parts and the reacquisition of my former 4x12
I can build this for a couple hundred bucks plus a head cab.
I already have an output transformer -Metro Amp Drake...
Im going to install a new pickup switch with 50's braided push back
wire and I need a piece of that black plastic tube than covers the wire going to
the jack plate.
I can get shrink wrap but I want to use the same stuff that Gibson uses.
Thanks Jimmy
Im getting to be concerned with how my refret is going.
I have a friend that has had 2 refrets with this tech and
was very happy with the work.
I called him and was quoted 1 week, when I dropped it
off he said 2 weeks. I waited 2 weeks and called, he said
1 more week plus.
Called today, 3...
How long for refret & cust service question EDIT

6/32 screw sticking out.
Because of this I may leave it with the Nashville bridge, maby put a
tonepros up grade but keep the...
I just got a 1996 LP studio and the shop I got it
from did a fantastic set up on it.

I tried to do a set up and I cant get the strings back
nice and low with out buzz.
I need to learn this my self so I dont have...

Does any one have any experience with a peephole camera that automatically records
if some one gets close the the door.
Im getting dizzy with all the choices and most say the doorbell must be pushed but I
want one that comes on with motion detection.
Thanks Jimmy
Ive had a pair of Boss Katana 1x12 combo's (50watt and 100watt) for
a couple months or so now.
These amps sound, feel, react, anything you can say,
exactly as a tube amp does.
Ive had some very cool tube amps (Marshall clones since 2005) and
they are all gone and Im never getting another.
