  1. Holy shite had to watch that again after posting it. What a banger
  2. One thing about DSP that people struggle with in a DAW situation is gain staging. Let’s say your initial signal is hitting the AD converter too hard and causing it to clip. It’s not going to sound pleasant like amp distortion and it’s only made uglier by additional distortion from the plugin/DSP. Too much gain at the front end In the tape days it was cool to push the meters into the red. In the digital world you need to understand the headroom of your system and stay below that threshold. as far as cables go there are a lot of gimmicks but your really aren’t going to get better than a good Mogami.
  3. They are just screwed down tightly so that they flex to conform to the curvature of the top. If there is a little gap somewhere it’s not a big deal
  4. Back in my day blah blah blah I don’t know how bail works blah blah blah get off my lawn
  5. By that logic I’d say DSP would be the top choice. The tone master isn’t exactly cheap for what you’re getting. The Twin Reverb model is over $1K I’ll stick with my $600 used 65ri thanks!! Haven’t needed to put a penny into maintenance and I can’t imagine the construction or components are any better on a newer cheaper product
  6. I agree 100% That ding in the top would definitely affect the value though in this case while it’s still a newish guitar. In the future when this is a vintage oddball the ding will be less remarkable and we’ll just think how rare and cool this model is
  7. Wow cool find Rabs never seen one like that before
  8. Plastic jacks aren’t inherently bad. In an amp they are likely chosen to avoid ground loops rather than as a cost cutting measure. The pots were probably selected for PCB mounted usage which I’m not really a fan of but that’s what you’re gonna get in a modern amp you will never see Fender make a truly accurate reissue of one of their old classic amps for legal reasons. Those designs don’t meet modern UL regulations etc
  9. Man this thread is full of GAS inducing pics. Nice guitars guys!!!
  10. Ahh it’s cause that’s hog and we’re used to seeing maple inside when it’s ply
  11. There’s pretty much no way in hell this is a 17 year old fake. If it is it’s probably worth more than an original because it would have to be built by an extremely talented high end luthier. But that would be silly, it’s pretty safe to assume it’s real. I’d shell out $3K for that
  12. These had a lot going on that I’m not normally into but I can’t stop looking at that pic. It’s a really cool guitar
  13. That thing is a collectible dude don’t bring that headstock anywhere near Ozzy
  14. Not sure how it is now but that’s how it was when they first came out. They were calling the slimmer one 30/60
  15. The 5/16” acorn nut. The most elusive item in a Chinese guitar factory
  16. The 339 was available with two different neck profiles, basically “50s” and “60s”
  17. This is what I was referring to when I said “hopefully a lot less than 1/8”. Not referring to structural integrity but aware that 1/8” would be an obscenely thick fretboard binding
  18. It’s hopefully a lot less than 1/8” but keep in mind even 1/16” is massive when you’re trying to transition under a gloss finish
  19. Yeah the good thing is that it has that whole end of the neck pocket covered with binding which is overlapped by the heel. Working in that area is gonna be miserable and highly prone to wonkiness though… especially if you’re planning to use abrasives to do the whole thing Depending on which glue they used I’d be highly tempted to just replace the whole fretboard
  20. Have you run your idea by anyone who you think understands the neck joint?
