Revolver & Sgt. Pepper

Welcome...lots to see and learn here. Great site...good people.

I saw the band back in '69 in NYC. At the end of their set, Alvin threw his guitar about fifteen feet into the air and let if hit the stage and walked off. The crowd had been very rude to the band when they first started their set. They closed with "Coming home" and the crowd went nuts. I think that was his way of giving the crowd the reverse "V" that the Brits use instead of the middle finger.

British Walkers...I found you. Loved that song back in '65?? Ride Captain Ride...Blues Image??

Well, its been just over a month since my disaster of accidentally ordering two guitars. I contacted the credit card company immediately, and they were aware of this scam already. They said the cc info was used to tap into bank accounts. I have not had any attempts on my accounts nor have I ever received confirmation that my order was cancelled after my repeated requests for confirmation. So far so good. Now there are two or three more companies with ridiculously low prices for name brand guitars being advertised on social media. I don't even look at their products anymore.

I was taken in by one of these cheap guitar sites. Yes, I knew they weren't real American made guitars, but the finishes were delightful. Long story short, I accidentally ordered two of the same guitar. Their site was super slow, so I hit send again. I ended up with two of the exact same guitars. I have been trying to cancel my order for the past week. They do not respond, but they do promise a 10% charge for cancelled orders. That in itself is a rip off because they aren't actually "re-stocking" ANYTHING. The guitars haven't shipped. Should I ever be billed, you can bet I will contest the charge. Buyer beware of MUSIC SHOPS FOR MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS AND RECORDING EQUIPMENT.

I had a "tweed" Gibson amp with a single 12" in it. Great little amp. Like a dummy,when I worked for a company that built all the amp boxes for Fender, Ampeg and Polytone, I had it recovered in standard black tolex and "spruced" it up with a Fender handle and chrome corners. Stupid I know. I still have the handle with Gibson on it somewhere.

Maddie...I learned something today...a toggle switch thats also a potentiometer...will wonders never cease?? Then again I never heard of a Kirk Douglas SG...shows you how little know.

Depending on where you live, you could also try Stewart MacDonald, or any number of guitar replacement part on line stores. I have never heard the word "togpot" before. When ordering I would look under pick up selector switch or toggle switch

This is the reason I now have a pair of '72 ES355 pups. I just removed the covers, and buffed them out. Are they perfect?? Not really, but they work!! They guy wanted an arm and a leg for the guitar, but he gave me the pups thinking they were unsalvageable. Now if I could just figure out how to get them into my Joe Pass........

REV... people like you are the reason I get up every day. You are a good man...willing to help others. Hats off to you sir!!! You have all my respect.

Greetings, I'm Bill from Florida. I have several acoustics, but my fave is my Pete Townsend signature J200 given to me by my musical partner before he passed away from agent orange induced cancer two years ago.

You say she is 25?? Then she knows right from wrong. Already has a rap sheet?? Press charges...prosecute her to fullest extent of the law. Do NOT let her off...thats just giving her a chance to screw up again and again ...and trust me...she will. You may not get a cent from her, but she won't have her freedom or a chance to make others miserable again for a long time. JMHOI

Man those are great looking guitars.
