Just wanted to give an update on my shipping tales. I have been shipping a ton of stuff in the last couple of months... amps, guitars, pedals etc. I am still getting by far the best rates with Pirate Ship. 2nd is Paypal Shipping which is usually about the same. Reverb shipping is easy and they do offer simple protection if you are worries about shipping something. But, as you know me: MOBW (Master of Bubble Wrap) I over pack everything. One thing to note, I've been hit twice with extra fees from Pirate Ship after the item arrives. It turns out it my my mistake. You have to be EXTRA careful with your dimensions and weight. I had a box that was very slightly protruding out in the middle and they figure that into the size. I just measured it at the top. So, after that, I always triple-check my measurements and weight (I even bought a new scale that is super-accurate) No more issues! Carry on my friends! ernie

Here are the cables in actual use...

PRICE DROP! Joe Bonamassa '64 Greenburst Strat Pickup Set by Seymour Duncan (Signed) I am the original owner. Only installed once in a Strat I have and played in my non-smoking home. Never gigged. They sound excellent and work perfectly. They rock nicely with an extra bit of punch to them. Full length leads, not cut. Comes with everything: Signed certificate, pickups, covers, 3 cloth bags, all screws & rubber grommets. Everything that they originally came with. $250 shipped and PP F&F Message me with any questions. Thx, Ernie -------------------------------------------- Info from Bonamassa website: Pre-CBS Fender Stratocasters® have long held the mystique and imagination of Fender’s biggest fans. By early 1964, Fender had started to build their Strat® pickups with gray flatwork, and these gray bottom pickups were known for a notably punchy sound and higher output. Finding a pre-CBS Strat® with these rare pickups can be a challenge. However, as Joe Bonamassa discovered, sometimes looking beyond a guitar’s originality can lead to uncovering a truly exceptional example. Joe’s 1964 Stratocaster® started its life with a three-tone sunburst finish and stock gray-bottom pickups, but was refinished with a unique “Greenburst”, which instantly captivated Joe. With the powerful sounding pickups, great playability, and striking look, Joe knew it was “an instant star”. Lucky for guitar players everywhere, Joe Bonamassa has once again collaborated with the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop to offer the magic sound of one of his favorite instruments through a new set of signature gray bottom Strat® pickups. The Joe Bonamassa “Greenburst” Stratocaster® Set is made with period-correct wiring and staggered alnico 5 magnets. The gray bottom flatwork is pad printed with Joe’s signature, and the first 500 sets include limited edition packaging and a certificate of authenticity signed by Joe and Seymour W. Duncan. Fans of Joe Bonamassa have seen the Greenburst Strat® light up the stage on tour with Joe, and now the powerful sound of “the coolest, most hideous guitar” in Joe’s collection can be attained in a Strat® of your own. Features: Magnets Neck - Alnico 5 Middle - Alnico 5 Bridge - Alnico 5 DC Resistance Neck - 6.61k Middle - 5.86 Bridge - 5.86k Cable Type Waxed Cotton

This amp is easy to dial in and includes onboard spring reverb and half power. The clean channel of this amp has a great American voicing that is reminiscent of a vintage Fender amp.

Circuit boards are CNC punched and the amp is wired by hand with high end components including Orange Drop capacitors, F&T electrolytic filters, Dale and Koa resistors.

Looks like a really cool pedal! Different!

Had to laugh at this. 'Pure' Hemp guitar cables! haha. I guess after they fail, you can smoke them.

Scott at RS said he's open to offers if any of you all are interested.

Maybe Bonamassa will buy it to go with the Gary Moore Soldano amp he just bought.

Sold !!

Price Drop on this ES339... $2,100 Shipped/PP F&F

Here's one I bet you haven't seen before!! A wacky, 18-watter by TomasZewichZ amps. It had way too many flippin' preamp/gain/master knobs. Actually sounded great, but trying to remember where you set the knobs was silly.

I just checked and the actual specs on this one are .845 @ 1st / .920 @ 12th

Price Drop: $1,300 Shipped.

SOLD!! Soldano 'Astro' 20 watt 3-channel amplifier Amazing sounding amplifier. Near-mint condition, not a scratch, ding or mark on it. Works perfectly, sounds huge. Kept in non-smoking home. All original condition. Comes with its original 4-button lighted foot-switch and power cable. It has 3 channels with 4 Galaxies. Channel 1 is the dedicated clean channel with only the ‘Green Galaxy’. It’s a nice big Fendery clean. Channels 2 and 3 are similar, but you can select 3 different ‘Galaxies’ – Blue, Purple, Red, for each of these two channels. Each Galaxy has more gain. By setting each gain/master differently on Channels 2 & 3, you can change the Galaxies to have 6 different tones. 4 by foot-switch and up to 128 presets by MIDI. Green Galaxy is a nice fat clean. Blue is low/medium gain. Great for slight broken-up tone to crunch. Purple is medium to super crunchy. Red Galaxy is the famous Soldano SLO tone great for lead work. Again, you can select any color Galaxy for each of channels 2 & 3. Mix and match. I know that might sound confusing, but really it’s not at all. Check out the video below and see really how cool this is. There are also bright and depth switches to let you really dial-in your tone even more for single coils or humbuckers. There is an EFX Loop too. Very flexible, can run 4/8/16 ohm cabs. Now, the fun part. With the XLR output, you have 6 different cabinet IRs (You can also load your own) The XLR output can also be 'bypassed' to use with your own DAW or IR box. Great for live FOH or recording. You can even even save your choice of IR with each channel preset. And, it has a built in load-box, so you can record silently without even a cab hooked up. Headphone output too. Check out the video link below to see just how great this amp is, stunning. PRICE DROP!!! $1,300 shipped and Paypal F&F. Not interested in any trades - thx, ernie Message for more info. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The simple front panel design of the ASTRO-20 lets you save any combination of the channels, Galaxies, and IRs and quickly recall them with the included 4-button MIDI footswitch.

The Red Galaxy takes you on a journey starting from Soldano’s iconic lead tones to a new phenomenal high-gain universe. The Blue, Purple and Red Galaxies can ONBOARD IR CAB SIM Impulse response cabinet simulation is an essential tool for modern guitarists. The ASTRO-20 offers six onboard IR slots to choose from. Each expertly recorded IR can be assigned to each channel/galaxy independently, ensuring you get the perfect tone and speaker response, whether running direct onstage, recording, or utilizing the amp’s headphone output for silent at-home practice. Add and manage your own IRs using the Soldano Editor Software. TONESHAPING The wide range master Presence control takes you from a tight and mid-focused response to an open, three-dimensional feel. The 3-positon Depth switch fine-tunes the power amp’s bass response. You can boost or cut the bass using this switch. Depth cut is ideal for extended range, low-tuned guitars, allowing you to cut through the mix. Depth boost beefs up single-coil guitars and at lower volumes enriches the bass response.

PRICE DROP! 2010 Gibson Custom Shop ES-339 Semi-hollow Guitar This is a Custom Shop built guitar, not the standard factory line model. Great feeling and playing axe. The custom shop built guitars are overall, just a better class of quality. Better woods and better attention to detail.

A tiny bit of fretwear from normal playing, but nothing too bad. Rings nicely un-plugged. Red nitro lacquer finish and nickel hardware. I’d call it Excellent-minus condition. Some light marks on the back from playing. Pick marks on the pickguard and some marks on the back in the nitro finish from sitting on a guitar stand. I tried to show it in the worst possible glare light to see the marks. I don't like surprises – see pics. Front is perfect. Other than the back, it’s a super clean guitar for 15 years old.

Two left. The tuner is nice, but the Vibe pedal is the bomb. I've a bunch of Univibe clones and this one was the best of all-of-'em.

My guitar teacher back in the 70's cut his 50's Blackguard tele into a double-cutaway. I cried when I saw that.

Prices keep dropping. Soon, they'll be free. haha.

Just get a new body and rock it!

Sold!
