I can't ever argue with a maple board, especially with that gorgeous vintage tint on your new Strat! She's a beaut, love the colour

Thanks Rikki, it was the colour and neck tint on Birdseye maple that attracted me. Luckily it plays and sounds as good as it looks.

Liking FFTC's very nice proper Fenders in this thread, I.e. Maple necks.

Resistance was futile in the face of so much GAS. So it is with a guilty hear that today I became the owner of my third Strat-type guitar....a G&L Legacy....it sounds sho nuff funky and plays very nicely too.

My self-imposed one-in/one-out policy means that I have to put up my lovely Gibson Les Paul Junior (2010 Nashville) for sale, here.....

Does anyone else prefer maple board Strats too?

My beautiful bare-wood finish Gibson Les Paul Junior is up for sale to fund another guitar purchase. This one is made with a truly exquisite piece of mahogany and was built in Nashville, USA, in 2010. It is all original, as far as I know. I am not the first owner, so not cannot be certain; but I see no signs of it ever having been messed about with.

This genuine USA Gibson LPJ comes with a well-padded Gibson gig bag. It is set-up beautifully and has almost no fret wear at all. The electrics are all in good working order and that lovely P90 pick-up sounds as clear and edgy as you want.

It is amazing how many tones you can get out of this guitar, just by adjusting your right hand position and how you hit the strings. It could work well in so many different styles and genres. It is very light and comfortable to wear too, with a tummy tuck in the back.

The tone and volume pots are very responsive and allow the tone to clean and warm up nicely when rolled off.

I do not want to post this quality guitar, as it only has a gig bag, not a hard case. If you wish to arrange and pay for a courier at your own risk, that’s OK with me and I will pack it inside its gig bag, in plenty of bubble wrap and brown paper.

price dropped to £475 collected in Nottingham.

Sold for £450 in the end to a nice gent in Poland.

SOLD!

I run a small board and a bigger board, both do much the same thing; but the big one has mostly bigger & better quality units and all in a bypass loop for better signal and easier multiple switching.

I have no idea why the photos post upside down, even if I pre-rotate the pictures on my computer to be wrong way up to compensate....anyone got any tips, please?

A sub-heavy silicon fuzz with some new twists: An input impedance control (push/relax) that adjusts from passive pickups to line level. It works very well for re-amping bass tracks that need to be fuzzed up after tracking and keyboards. There’s also a three-position sub control switch, a treble tone control, adjustable pulse width, and a wide fuzz depth control. More flexible than any silicon fuzz to date. This fuzz sounds grerat on both bass and guitar.

It runs off standard 9v DC Boss-type power supply. It has Velcro on the bottom and is in good used working order with no scratches or chips.

Custom pedal built by Coopersonic of Nottingham. This is a cool pedal and works especially well in front of drive pedals. People say wah / anti-wah is what Brian May used to get some of the cool synth/filter-like distortion sounds.

As I understand it this pedal is a wah and an anti-wah working against each other. It is variable by the big knob in the middle, as to which side is the more dominant. The switches give various different tones and ‘atitudes’ of the wah and anti0wah sides of the pedal. There are internal gain pots to fine-tune volume/gnarliness of both wah and anti-wah.

This pedal runs off standard 9v DC Boss-type power supply. It has Velcro on the bottom and is in good used working order with no scratches or chips.

Now £50 collected in Nottingham or I can pack & post for an extra £5.

High quality double by-pass pedal made by Tone Factor. Very clean switching and noise-free circuits. Can run one or other loop or both together, or just bypass both loops. This pedal runs off standard 9v DC Boss-type power supply. It has Velcro on the bottom and is in good used working order with no scratches or chips.

Now reduced to £25.

Cash on collectection in Nottingham or I can pack & post for an extra £5.

This excellent chromatic tuner will keep your instrument in tune easily. It can be calibrated for alternative tunings. Battery included.

He about some nice P90s, like the original 50s and 60s Gold Tops? THse are the Gold Tops people pay really big money for and they do sound amazing and very distinctive.

I have a couple splittable-humbucker guitars (notably a PRS CE24), and about nine Strats... no comparison IMO, the Strat is the sound and the split hums can't compete.
[/quote]

I'd agree with that; but as someone else mentioned...the audience won't the difference anyway....but I would when playing, so it's worth separate guitars to me.

I have a 335 with Seymour 59 and JB that split....they doc fair imitation of a single coil; but really not as good as 50s style Strat with a nice single coil pup at neck and a maple neck for that Nile Rogers sound.
Single could Strats, Teles or ASATs are all great....if you want a great Tele the ASAT Special is killer...pips are very P90

That was a bass amp, the BLX80 I think.

It could well have been, cos it sounded terrible for guitar; but it was owned by a guitarist I played with and I hated the sound of his guitar though it.

A horrible small combo by Trace Elliott with a vertical slit for a baffle board. V weird and truly awful sounding.

There are some great boutique clones of 50s Fender Champ amps. THey are quite cheap and were originally designed by Leo as home practice amps. You can swap out tubes for ultra gain to get early breakup without max volume. I got one made made by Cayman Agnew in Dublin, second-hand for about £125.... A few inexpensive upgrades and it is freakin A for home use....
