Ghost of Electricity Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 New gear day! I've been GASing for a proper amp ever since I got rid of my '65 Fender Twin...and today's the day. The acquisition: a Vox ac15cc1. Haven't had the chance to take it for a spin yet but will soon- two rehearsals and one show this weekend. Oh, happy day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 The younger me would have considered this sacrilege, but I recently outfitted my drums with a type of drumhead that I once thought were crimes against tone. I put Remo Pinstripe heads on my toms and an Evans Hydraulic (oil filled) head on my snare drum. These heads are a crime against resonance, but I need a punchier sound for my current band and so far these heads are working out pretty well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yea...grizzly bear, oh man, love them... its a 1963 Guild T-50 (Granada)...one of the last models with the Franz pick up (like a p90, but crisper)...i got a steal, you can find Guilds cheap all over because they dont have the name recognition of Gibson, buy they better built guitars...

Congrats! You'll have great fun playing with that thing.They are great guitars. I'm hoping to run across a Starfire someday of around the same vintage that appeals to me.

Whoa, I've never even considered looking for a Guild. Somehow they've been totally off my radar. I'm definitely going to keep them in mind next time I get obsessed with buying another instrument.* Jerry Garcia is another guy who played a Guild. I think he had a Starfire during the early Dead era. *EDIT: OK, now I'm getting obsessed: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smokestack Joe Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Im guessing that a Fender Jazzmaster is a more quality guitar then a Fender Jaguar. if anyone was had played one or own them, can you explain the differences? I know the Jag has different tone controls, etc... both look great though and down the road i would like to rock one out big time! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmyjimmy Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Im guessing that a Fender Jazzmaster is a more quality guitar then a Fender Jaguar. Nope. When those models were initially released they were Fenders top of the line solidbodies. As with most Fenders sold today the primary characteristics of the originals is still found on the current incarnations. Between the two models, it's not a question of quality, it's that they go in different directions tonally. And that's achieved primarily by the tone circuit and their respective pickups. I haven't played either model in ages. I know their are subtle spec. differences between the two, a quick wiki search ought to get you any additional info you need there. These are also referred to as Fender "offsets". Poke around a little and you'll find places dedicated to these guitars by their enthusiasts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Jaguar has a shorter scale length than a Jazzmaster if I recall. More along the lines of a Fender Mustang, where the Jazzmaster has the same long scale length as a Strat or Telecaster. It's a matter of feel and sound preference. Longer scale length = higher string tension, more difficult bends, twangier overall sound. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
In a little rowboat Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Well a week in to it and the Guild is clearly the best buy Ive made in years...it just what i needed, really great tones and construction, very playable...and a bargain compared to some others i looked at... Been few months since i brought this up...but im simply not a jazzmaster guy...and i tried really really hard to like mine, even after bridge and pickup upgrade...it will be up on the ebay this week, if anyone's in the market...

TCP Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 That should have said "did you get that on ebay or what?!". I've done some looking around on my own and they're hard to find. Strangely it seems like most people just randomly ran into them. I think a lot of instruments like that get tossed because people don't know what they have... the rest get sold for too much, or at least the easy to find ones do.

jmacomber68w Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 A lot of Guild chatter at the moment. I'd love to get a chance to play around with an older bluesbird. I'm under the impression that for much less than a les paul, you get a great, yet similar guitar. Did they make them with p90s only? Any info about them would be appreciated! Decent guild site, its run by a friend of a friend http://goodeguitars.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
