This TV Jones P'tron came in the bridge of my Duotone. http://www.tvjones.com/powertron.htm Available in P90 case, N and B position. On the clean side of PAF, though I use it mostly with OD. Vintage output for sure.

well yes, but they don't jiggle.

post your blackies pirate!

But what would that cost, Doc?

I've also gotten a lot of mileage out of an old mxr dist+ with the battery on its very last leg --- death throes.

Depending on how pereverse your tase may be, the ZVEX FUZZ FACTORY can either be the most useless and annoying fuzz noise you've ever heard OR the most amazing, cut through the BS, exquisite FUZZ (not distortion or OD) you've ever squeezed our of your guitar. I thought it sounded like a swarm of bees at first, but when tweaked and plunked in a mix/ensemble, it's like - wow, what was that? do it again! you can make fun of it all you want until you realize you've had it stomped for half the set. really weird...

BTMN, you're right. Iwas being lazy. LET'S GET RIGHT TO THE GUITARPORN! This is the new old 93 Studio Standard. The music will be another thread.

Here's my Hamer story. I knew I wanted a Les Paul type guitar. Knew that there were gripes about Hamer necks being thin, but once I decided that I could live with a 60s taper, I started looking. Then three days ago, I found a red sunburst "Hamer Studio" listed on Craig's List in NY for $475. Dropped everything to check it out. As I cradled it, I wasn't sure. Cosmetically, it looked okay for a ten-year old. The flame top looked good except for a few small chips in less than obvious places. But the neck was seriously bowed and the action was like - suspension bridge high. Of course, I bought it anwyay. But on my way back, I started to regret it. What's the deal with the nut being crazy glued? What if the neck's f#@*ed? is it a real good Korean copy? Was I duped? Maybe I don't know anything about guitars, I thought... So I corrected the bow and lowered the bridge. I replaced the spring on the bridge PU (confirmed it was a Duncan JB) to keep it from popping. A few more tweaks here and there. Then all at once, it came together --- like an orchestra tuning up. As I lowered the strings closer and closer to the fingerboard, I began to realize how well-made the guitar was. It had an almost perfect neck! And now after changing the strings and giving it a well deserved cleanup, I am shocked that I've got a very photogenic USA hand-made Les Paul eater hanging on my wall. I played it until 4:00am the first night! Man, what a difference quality makes. Was I just lucky?
