  1. I bought a mint Anderson from their Federal location about two weeks ago. It's stupidly good.
  2. Sold it back to the person who sold it to me. Made some cash on it but nothing to brag about. I'd bet money that he'll sell it again at some point but he hates shipping, reverb, etc. I will say that it's a good guitar. I personally prefer more modern specs to vintage specs.
  3. Reverb just took down my listing. LOL. I guess I'll have to relist without headstock pics.
  4. Relisted without headstock photos: https://reverb.com/item/96828066-gvcg-s-style-2026-olympic-white I've been lazy and I'm using the pics from when it sold to the person I bought it from last month. I mention trades, but I much much prefer selling and just offer it if anyone has been dying to pick these up for years but doesn't have the spare cash. I've bought a Baker B3 Wood, this, an Anderson, a Valkenburg dh, and a PRS Custom 22 in the last few weeks. I'll likely list all and aim to sell two and keep whatever people don't pick up. This '65 Olympic White S model marks the return of Greenwich Village Custom Guitars. Jonathan Wilson spent the last decade producing records for Father John Misty and Jackson Browne or touring as lead guitarist for Roger Waters. This is the first new GVCG S model he has offered in ten years. The build starts with a lightweight Alder body that brings the total weight to 7 lbs 6 oz. It is finished in 100% nitrocellulose lacquer with light aging and subtle checking throughout. The neck is a gorgeous dark Rosewood on Maple with a vintage C profile, 7.25” radius, and vintage spec frets. Inside, the guitar features a set of 2006 Abigail Ybarra hand-wound pickups. The electronics include a vintage tone cap, CTS pots, and a CRL 5-way switch. It comes equipped with a vintage style tremolo and ships in an Orange Lined Reissue case.
  5. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1694531378223789/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks I don't play bass, I'm too busy with work and family stuff to pick that up. Thought I'd see if anyone else is interested.
  6. This is so much smaller looking than old school Power Amps. It makes me wonder how it differs. Researched it a tiny bit: Mono vs Stereo seems the obvious one. Possibly SMT in current designs
  7. Just arrived. I played it last night through an ASM-12 I got used as part of a package deal. It's not as good as something like a first generation Helix, but at roughly $115 when that rebate kicks in it's impressive for the price.
  8. Thanks. Bought it. I took advantage of a capital one offer that's supposed to give you an additional $50 rebate at some point. I don't even know how that works but if it does that's awesom.e Googled how that offer works. Supposedly I get a gift card, not rewards, and it's 60-90 days after I make the purchase. It doesn't really say what kind of gift card. It'll probably show up in 3 months and I'll be wondering WTF it was from.
  9. Yes, only the red one is being discontinued and blown out. I think Sweetwater was getting rid of these 4-5 months ago.
  10. I think I mentioned that PAS was blowing out J Rockett pedals but this one wasn't included earlier. One thing it's taught me is that the diodes may sound somewhat different but not enough for me to buy into the magic diodes in the original Klons. Also, one of the diode options is the same as the Jeff Archer that now costs a small fortune so if you wanted a Jeff and couldn't afford one, this might be the one to get. I already got Sweetwater to match the Rockway Archer price and got that one. But I love EQ so it's not really surprising that it's my favorite take on the Klon/KTR. Fun fact, Rockett originally build the KTR. They had a business disagreement that didn't go well and they've made an absurd # of takes on the circuit since then. Having played an Archer next to a real Klon it was very close.
  11. So the people who say you shouldn't get charged tariffs if you reimport USA made goods are technically correct. But I've absolutely heard of people getting charged (maybe the paperwork wasn't in order) and then having to go throught the effort to get their money back.
  12. I'm slightly confused by the ask/comment. You can get to a point where it has very little gain easily. In that case it would work much like an EQ. But it's slightly less transparent. I've heard some reviews that this is noisy, but I find it's less noisy than the average EQ pedal with my strat.
  13. I bought the Rockway Archer. My personal take is it's the best Archer out there, but I love the versatility adding good EQ options to pedals give so most of my favorite pedals have at least 3 band EQ. If you set it flat it's basically a stock Klon KTR (Rockett helped design and build the KTR but had a disagreement with Bill). As someone who has a Tumnus Deluxe, a Sericon, and who has actually tried a real Klon, this is the best yet for my tastes. This is the PAS link in case you want to call Sweetwater to match: https://www.proaudiostar.com/j-rockett-audio-designs-rockaway-archer.html
  14. There used to be deals. But I had one that arrived broken and couldn't get support from him. That was the end of me buying from him.
