sangemon Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Here is the new Traditional I bought last week. I don't have a good amp for it yet, I'm using my acoustic amp for now, but there are a couple of nice looking Fender Deluxe tube amps that i have my eye on. I will wind up with one of those. I've only played acoustic up to now, and I'm used to phosphor bronze .13 -.56 gauge strings. This thing plays like butter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] Well, then I think you should try AT LEAST 0.11s, since you are already used to heavier strings. Congratulations on you guitar, I'm sure you deserve it and, as such, you should enjoy it. I like LPs running through Fenders. I think that most times the Les Pauls can make the most of the Fender crunch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bram Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 That's a sweet looking LP! Congrats. About the string gauge: I've tried 10's, 11's and 12's on Les Pauls, but in the end I always came back to the 10's. They just sound better on LP's (to my opinion) + they feel great. The thicker the string gauge on a LP, the boomier the tone becomes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchananblues Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 AWESOME, try out a Fender blues junior and if you have the bucks , a 65 twin reverb = WOW. Again, very nice LP. CONGRATS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadking2 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 great guitar you will love the '57 classics i think it would sound BEST through a MARSHALL the new jvm series is worth checking out marshall finally has a clean channel that is clean, check them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV-Zeppelin Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Don't get the JVM unless you enjoy having 12 channels in one amp. Being a minimalist, I'd go with either a DSL-100 or TSL-100 (depending on whether or not you want the clean channel.) Of course, that's probably out of your price range... I'd recommend a Fender Princeton and a good distortion pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitar slinger Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Don't get the JVM unless you enjoy having 12 channels in one amp. God... who uses this anyway? I'm too lazy for that. I just need a guitar that has good tone and volume pots and a amp with 1 good channel. Perhaps a booster, but I can do without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowb5str Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 (paraphrased...) JVM has lots of modes... God... who uses this anyway? I'm too lazy for that.
