Absolutely ditch the kids

When I say “super lead” I am referencing 100w amps pre-1974 pre-PCB. Jimmy Page live MSG, TSRTS. To me the SV20 is more in this vein. JMP to me means 1974 - 2203/4 circuit. Pretty much all late 70’s classic rock. I’d like to see Marshall put one of these into the Studio series. Honestly...

But the YJM is humongous lol

I am extremely confident you wouldn’t dare to say that to my face ;) And, like I want to tell these sellers, this is one of those occasions where it doesn’t matter what YOU think

I can, not sure why on earth I would lie about such a thing?

You are right of course but the older I get the simpler I want things to be. Already dealing with tubes, pedals, patch cables, strings…I’m hesitant to add another failure point when the alternative is just to pack an extra cable.

Watch out there—I bought some GHS Burnished Nickel strings off AZ that were obviously counterfeit. Posted this in the review section and AZ issued me a warning that if I did it again they would cancel my account. @anitoli is speaking the truth

Yeah it sucks—I am def not cheap but if a 20’ cable is only going to last me a couple months I don’t want to drop $100 on it

Just got this reply from a local LP listing :facepalm:: Not sure of actual weight but it’s pretty heavy it’s not chambered. I would say around the 9 lb area

Exactly! Sellers need to realize (if they want to actually ‘sell’ anyway) that weight is the first thing someone looking at these guitars wants to know.

I don’t mind the Fender noiseless pus I put in my tele build but I haven’t tried their Strat ones. I have the DiMarzios in one Strat and they do the job well enough. No Fralin/Lollar tone but as always it’s a compromise I suppose

The TAE is pricey but an incredibly useful and cool piece of gear. I use mine every day pretty much. The reverbs, boosts and delays are great

Passed on the YJM back when they were around just b/c it was so freaking humongous. I’ll pick 2555SL b/c it doesn’t stray from the original too much but like @jeffb said, I’d have picked the Marsden

My issue is always with the main instrument cable that goes from pedalboard to instrument. Always stepping on it, sometimes on concrete esp w/summer outdoor gigs just tears em up. Crackle city after just a few mos

As I do every Sat am I am reading geek boards and checking Reverb and CL. 5 seconds after I saw your Strat this hit my feed...

That is one light Les Paul! And a boat anchor of a Strat!!!

Fenders are easier since they are essentially parts guitars—here is a strat I just finished building. Just over 6.5lbs That’s the white aforementioned Custom lite next to it:
