Looking at the similar topic in this section of the forum got me searching for similar products such as Peavey Valve King, Randall rg50tc, but don't know how they sound... The only downer in the original post amps is that they both have master eq, not channel-independent, as Peavey and Randall. I'm getting a analogman's Tubescreamer TS9/808 modified pedal for blues lead boost, so, my original choice was Fender, for the blues tone and for the newer, modern tones, ergo, I thought of Hot Rod Deluxe. Hughes & Kettner Edition Tube seems like a real nice choice too. It is 20W (Fender has 40W).I'll try them out more thoroughly this week along with Peavey and Randall. Luckily, they are all available at the same store. I'm not getting this kind of amp for blues only, but for tube sound in general. I'm also playing modern a-la-Petrucci music... I don't have lots of expirience in this whole tube thing... Ideally, I'd get me a Diezel Herbert amp, but they go around 4,000 $... or at least Hughes & Kettner TriAmp MkII...

Recently I got this idea of getting a relatively small/mid sized tube combo. Based on my not-gonna-nor-have-lots-of-money policy, I've found these little amps to consider:

1) http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Gui...Amps?sku=480426

2) http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Gui...Amps?sku=480510

The price difference is not a big issue, but features...

Also, can't seem to see a difference between no.2 and this one except in appearance:

Can you guys help me out or suggest me if there's something else in this price range...?

Every comment/info is welcome!

THX!

Great wood, RGGR... Man, this is taking too long... Seeing the topic with new posts makes me browse it first cause evertime I think it's finished... Come on, man, put some life in it!!!

No hard feelings.

mullmuzzler | OSSMT

Mhmmmm... Where are the pics...?

mullmuzzler | OSSMT

Everything on it says: HELL, YEAH!!!

Awsome looks! Great guitar!

mullmuzzler | OSSMT

Don't like f-holes, other than that - go for it!

mullmuzzler | OSSMT

OK, blue is cool...

BTW, I'd like to say that those two GG guitars in the contest topic are incredible! I don't know which one I'd take home if it had to be just one of them... What are sonic characteristics of that tiger myrtle top? How thick is it?

mullmuzzler | OSSMT

The A string is a little messed up, and if it werent for that they would have been perfect.

ADVICE: ALWAYS punch in (tap) a marker dot with a nail or some other sharp tool before you drill your holes.

mullmuzzler | OSSMT

Nice blue colour, but I think you didn't "burn" it appropriately (spelling?)...

mullmuzzler | OSSMT

It looks really nice... I'd take more wood (carving)... Looks promising...

mullmuzzler | OSSMT

Great looking wood... In fact, it is awsome! If I remember correctly, you showed that piece on the forum, didn't you?

Chamber it, but leave out f-holes or whatever... And finish it in amber yellow fade... It'll look like million $!

mullmuzzler |OSSMT

Looks beautiful! Nice piece of rosewood. I like brazilian most of all rosewoods.

mullmuzzler | OSSMT

I think that the older version (Lo-Pro Edge) is far better than the new one excluding new improved string loading system. New trem doesn't have stud locks(?!)... Key point is: non of the trem users (Vai, Satch...) don't use it... I'd go for the Lo-Pro (I'll be getting one from Rich's site soon)...

mullmuzzler | OSSMT

Present like that has tremendous weight... I'm sorry that your friend is gone... When somebody dies, everything goes away but the things that you remember are only the good ones...

mullmuzzler | OSSMT

All I can say: GREAT COLOR!!!

I'm getting fond of teles these days (unusual for me!!!)... It must be cause of this forum and people buildin' them...

mullmuzzler | OSSMT

Hey, DaveQ! It's been a while since I saw your topic (or I'm stark-blind!!)

Could you post some pictures of the unfinished guitar? Knowing your work, it looks great!

Anyway, having a maple board, I'd go for black burst, for the contrast, along with a matching headstock. If the board was ebony/rosewood, I'd suggest bright yellow/amber stain.

Can't wait to see it finished...

Cheers!

mullmuzzler | OSSMT

It's coming up rather nice, I think...

mullmuzzler | OSSMT

Looks great. I wonder how did you carve the body and what tools did you use...?

mullmuzzler l OSSMT

This one is mine...

mullmuzzler | OSSMT

On my '91 RG 550 the scarf joint if sort of moved towards the heel... This was never clear to me: how can a headstock be applied from the same blank and have the joint moved towards heel? I just cannot visualise this process of neck making... Maybe I'm missing something...

mullmuzzler | OSSMT

Maybe I've missed it, but where did you get plans for LP? Also, how thick is mahogany, and how thick is the top?

Superb job! I really like it (that's why I voted for it!).

mullmuzzler | OSSMT

Very nice! That top is dropped, or not? I can't see it clearly...

mullmuzzler | OSSMT

Les Paul Custom gets my vote cause of the wood choice (especially neck wood - rosewood all the way), excellent finish and refined design.

Perry's excellent (obviously) and well designed too and FLAWLESSLY executed. Great paintjob. Details are incredible...

In fact, all entries are great, but I had to pick one.

mullmuzzler | OSSMT

I'm maybe late, but how did you make the body? Did you use template from the download section, or...? I'm curious, what tools did you use for chamfers?

mullmuzzler | OSSMT

P.S.

How much was the neck? I canot seem to find it on warmoth's site...

Whoofnagle, didn't you buy the Warmoth ash with koa top body in a past few weeks, maybe a month ago? I think there's was a topic about finishing (maybe, I'm not sure, but I'm sure that somebody bought warmoth koa topped body)....

Sorry for the hijack.
