Lets see your current guitar/amp rig.

you'll have to match it at the hardware store.. ACE has a good bunch even fancy looking chrome heads on 'em sometimes.. check their first.

you can also swap the screw and it's nut to a slightly different size there with no problem.. so take a good look. talking fifty cents or so

Twang, if you don't mind me asking, what exactly is the model of this amplifier you have in the background of your bigsbied les paul? Is that some king of signature model for valve junior? Been looking around but can't find anything about it.

Who cares if you list em or show em? I can appreciate one as well as appreciate many when the subject is guitars.

Here a pic of my 70's pawn shop $200 score. 1966 Fender Jag.

I just sold her a few days ago for a insanely good cash offer.

But I will miss her very much.

that's an early valve junior I bought stock at MF.

version 2.

I removed the pcb board and put in a new one.. all new parts.

new output transformer.

then added gain and tweed tone and efx loop and standby on the front.

then I added three way NFB and three way Conjunctive filter along with a panel mounted

fuse holder on the back.

 

so it's custom now completely.

I love it.

Play it every chance I get, but she's pretty loud!

 

thanks for asking.

 

changing graphics soon... I'm a Dexter Fan so I'm switching to red knobs, and red print on the controls, as well as

copying out the Dexter tv show logo.. *S*

 

fits.. this thing is killer.

OK guys' date=' because I'm a total dope when it comes to sizing pics and the like, here is a link to some shots of my setup. Pardon the mess, I got squeezed into the corner to make room for the wife's elliptical bike!

All of my electric guitars consist of Epihones. From left to right:

 

Later S310 with humbucker at bridge position and squarer body contours

1977 Epiphone with dual humbuckers (converted to left hand...totally awesome guitar spilling with vintage coolness)

1998 S310 (no modifications)

My first guitar, a 1998 S310. It now rocks with Dimarzio pickups (Area 58 in neck and middle, area 61 in bridge).

 

I bought the 2nd S310 this summer, 10 years after I got my original S310. It turns out that this guitar was made right after my original guitar on the same assembly line!!! Somehow they wound up together ten years later!

 

The little solid state Epiphone amp was bought along with my original S310. It has been a faithful amp for ten years (I have never played live). It actually has pretty good distortion for its size. I bought the Fender NOS Blues Jr. this summer and it is great, although I have not had a chance to really crank it up yet.

Here's a shot of my fairly modest setup. My spare room has sort of become my music room, I have my guitars in there, as well as my old record player, lots of music related posters, and my faithful guitar playing chair.

 

I have an Epiphone SG G-310, and a Fender Frontman 25R (25W solid state) amplifier. So far the modifications I have made to the SG have been solely cosmetic, pickup covers, changing the pickguard and truss rod cover screws to black. I have bell style tone and volume control knobs (like those on the G-400) on order, some position markers for under the control knobs, and a few other little things to complete. When those arrive it'll be getting a bit of a birthday with some new Ernie Ball Slinky strings too.

Yes, that's a computer desk. It used to belong to my sister, but then she moved house, got a bigger room, and a bigger desk, so all her surplus furniture has been dumped at my house! [-X It makes a fairly good amp stand though, and is useful to sit at for reading guitar related books, or when I dabble in songwriting.

 

I have lots of pictures of my SG, it's pretty much my pride and joy, and it's quite fun to practice still life photography on it!

 

Some I took outdoors by the firewood pile

And some more I took on a black background, trying to get a studio kind of effect, but not having much success

I also have an acoustic, which is nothing fancy, just a cheap thing that has no problems getting knocked about a bit. It's not all that interesting, but once again I was being kind of arty and took some photos of it by my old record player. I'm going to get some hot rod style pisntripes laid on it in a couple of weeks, when I pursue one of my other interests and go to a car show!

Anyway, sorry for such a long post!
