Who do I speak with @ Gibson to discuss new models?

Note to self - Send rocket ideas to SpaceX. Try to think outside box without paying any dues inside box. -
Millions excitedly plan to watch something "turn off"

We had one that was like 96%. I couldn't have been more bored. It gets dark every night where I live and eclipses aren't complicated enough for me to get all silly. The moon is in front of the sun. BFD. When the sun gets in front of the moon I'll pay attention. -

Cases needed for vintage Gibsons(ES style)
badbluesplayer replied to muzicman52's topic in Gibson ES
With 335's, you have to be careful with aftermarket cases because of how the neck angles vary between guitars and cases. Some guitars will rock on the heel and some will leave a space under the heel, depending on the guitar and what case you're trying to fit. Gator and SKB are popular but the fit is supposedly finicky with them all. -

At least everybody's pretty good natured on here when things start to go out of bounds. There used to be guys like NeoConMan and the guy with the Mushroom cloud avatar, arguing all the time about everything. Some of these guys probably weren't the same person online as they were in the real world. -

You can't have a slant without falling down the hill once in awhile when you're not paying enough attention. Didn't you say "AOC is the dumbest person on the planet" once here? -
They're not in my local GC yet.... Previous discussion of Falcons and the "tone suck circuit" here - the new ones almost certainly don't have the tone suck circuit -

The originals did use Jensen P12R speakers, as far as I can tell. They had the output transformer mounted on the speaker. Is that what's going on here? The code 1098803, if that's the EIA code, that would be Ameican Condenser Corp, dated 3rd week of 1988. That's not a manufacturer I recognize. If the OT is on the speaker, then you'd just install the old OT on the new speaker and then install the speaker into the cabinet.

Sounds like an amp issue. Something's not grounding properly or a bad connection at the input of the amp maybe. Maybe...

Most current 335's are like 0.85 thick at the first fret and 0.95 at the twelfth, Some as big as .90 and 1.00. My 335 is 13 years old and it's about 0.82, 0.92. Almost exactly the same as the "Slim Taper" on my '19 SG Standard '61. They seem to have gotten about 0.05" thicker over the last ten years or so. Places like Wildwood Guitars show the neck measurements for each guitar they sell.

After 25 years of running my shop off a 60 amp circuit from the house, I finally hooked up a new separate 200 amp service. The power guys put in all new poles, a new transformer and redid the service to the house too. Nice job boys. 125 volts of fresh and clean TVA power. The first 22 kwh has been intoxicating...
