    So hows it holding up today... ?
  2. My state is up to 95. My island has held at 5 for a few days now.
  3. I feel like I just woke up in VR chair at the end of Red Dwarf...
  4. Yes, that is the earlier Stage Right 15 watt model with the control panel on the top surface of the cabinet.. Like in the Video below.. The current SR-15 has had several upgrades since the version in this video was released a few years ago.. The longer I have my SR-15 the more I love the sound and its ability to be easily tweaked for different situations.

    I didn't, I thought it was a Gibson. You got me, even though most of my guitars are Epiphones and I am envious. Epiphone did a new first using "cast Kluson style" tuners with threaded bushings, never seen those before on a stock Epiphone. The old Epiphone Deluxe tuners that look like these were stamped not cast with collars not threaded bushings. Your SG's upgraded tuners should make for very smooth tuning. Then not to forget the P90 Pro's that sound great .. Any way enjoy...
  6. 90 last night statewide with 1 death.. Each Island has different levels of medical facilities, some not so much, most people travel to Ohau for the best treatment
  7. The 1 watt button seems to power a different lead on the tubes, if that could be used in conjunction with disconnecting the speaker out signal or power amp in, might do the trick. I have been using my amp on full 15w power setting for all volume levels and using the 1 watt setting for a kind of a standby, seems to work, but only time will tell if it extends my tube life longer. No problems so far.
  8. I'm pretty sure they are very close to the previous Qingdao built Epiphones with the exception of the new headstock for those lucky enough to get it. However new USA Epiphones could be quite different..

    Looks like you truly have the correct priorities... Nice SG Classic, you're going to love those P90's.. I like the reflection of the flag and your face in the pickguard, nice job...
  10. I do dive bomb once in a while, which is why I love my Duesenbergs with their super tough German steel springs. One of mine is over 5 years old with little or no degradation. It is easy to adjust the angled dive bar for your optimal position.. The Les Trem II is my choice over all others for it simplicity and its so reliable...
  11. Today all of Hawaii is up to 77... Oahu: 53 (12 new) Maui: 11 (2 new) Kauai: 3 (0 new) Big Island: 5 (2 new) Pending: 5 (5 new)
  12. The new headstock is attached to the neck using a Scarf Joint for the new Epiphones built at the Gibson Qingdao Factory in China. The previous Clipped Ear headstock and neck were primarily one piece since 2005 when the Gibson factory in China opened. The new guitars may get one piece construction once they have retooled to make the new headstock and neck together. Perhaps Epiphone has a large stock of necks with the wrong headstock. However, the Scarf Joint is a very strong way of attaching the headstock to a neck that even Gibson has used on certain models.. The image above is a 2020 Epiphone SG Standard. This used to be one way of spotting fakes..
  13. Tourist trade is dead here, travelers are required to quarantine for 14 days, beaches are closed, only drive through restaurants are open, public gatherings cancelled. Friday we had 26 total cases in the state, now we are at 48, with a few community spread, but mostly visitors. We have all been asked to stay home for the next 14 days, Hawaii does not have the facilities to deal with a pandemic so I guess we need to really clamp down. Most are concentrated on Oahu around Honolulu the other islands Maui has 7, Kauai at 3 and the Big Island also at 3. Up to 56 now..

  15. Only 3 cases reported so far on the Big Island, much more on Oahu, but the shelves are bare of TP alcohol and bleach.
  16. Very good doc.... I didn't know much when I joined my first Blues Band, the other players were much older and gave me quite an education. The Brits were going through a very difficult time rebuilding after the War and developed their own sound from learning and respecting traditional Blues. I came out more of a metal player but was heavily influenced by American and British Blues players.
  17. It looks pretty authentic to me, I had one Just like it about a year ago..
  18. Like rct says there is nothing you can do that can't be undone... Most of the online people that complained about fret buzz got their guitars from Sweetwater and got buzz relief by loosening the truss rod. When neck adjustments are done it can take a while to settle in. A normal tweak to fix the problem you are talking about would be about an 1/8 counter clockwise turn and let it set for a while and check if the buzz is better, it ain't rocket science.. Or you take it in to be setup by a pro.. PS in my opinion Sweetwaters 55 point inspection is worthless..
