I'll get everyone I know to vote for you if you agree to send me that Les Paul once you get your new Gibson.

Make sure you know what you're doing before you mess with the truss rod. You might be able to find a guitar repair book at your library that will have all the info you'll need on setting up your guitar to your liking.

What type of Tele did you get rid of?

My gear:

Guitars:

Fender Muddy Waters Tele

Danelectro Mod 6

Seagull S6 Acoustic

Bass:

SX Jazz Bass copy

Amps:

Behringer Vintager 112 (guitar)

Peavey TNT 115 (bass)

I'm hoping to upgrade to a better guitar amp after I take a month or two of lessons and get a better idea of exactly what I want/need.

Drums:

'65 Ludwig Super Classics, Black Diamond Pearl

'65 Pearl, Tiger's Eye Pearl

(Both are 4 piece kits w/ various cymbals)

Keys:

Wurlitzer 206-A Electric Piano (student model w/ built in speakers)

Some sort of Yamaha keyboard

Conn Home Organ (Grandma-type)

Misc:

Old teardrop-style Mandolin

several horns: trumpet, pocket trumpet, cornet

Bodhran (Irish drum)

Large marching/parade snare drum (courtesy of the Aleppo Shrine Temple)

Loads of small percussion and sound effects devices.

Those are nice amps. They make a Classic 30, also, which is probably $50-$100 cheaper and might be better as a practice amp. The Classic 30 is definitely on the short list of amps I'm considering (along w/ Ampeg Jet and Fender Pro Jr. & Blues Jr.) once I can put aside another $100 or so.

Blues Jr. is 15 watts. Hot Rod Deluxe is 40 watts. Other than that, I don't know what the differences are.

I'm leaning towards getting myself a Pro Junior, but lately I've been advised to get an amp with a master volume control, so I'm considering the Blues Junior as well. Pro Juniors are supposed to haver better tone, though, so I guess I'll have to do a comparison test at a shop that has both amps.

If you want to know all about Fender stuff, this isn't the place to be.

I LOVE my new Fender Muddy Waters Telecaster. I got it for $499. It's made in Mexico, but it has better quality pickups than the Standard Mexican Telecasters. Red (the only color available, since that's what Muddy had) wouldn't be my first choice, but I've quickly grown to really like it.
