Re: El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...

I got inspired by watching the Mclaughlin/DeLucia/DiMeola concerts on youtube and went and bought a custom legend. Was considering a DiMeola signature model but those were selling for 2-3 times the price of this one. It's a 2014 made in Korea model. The fit and finish are excellent as I suspected th...

Re: El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...

Anybody know much about these guitars? I can get an old Peavey T-60 pretty cheap, needs a little work but I've always kinda dug these things. Thoughts/opinions? https://i.imgur.com/zhi4kNY.jpg?1 I haven't played the t60 but I have the bass version t40. These are great instruments and were selling w...

Re: El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...

I recently picked up one of these. Egnater tweaker 88. So far I really like this amp. Got it for $450 at Sweetwater. The only thing I wish it had was a presence control, but I compensate for that with my EQ rig. Also might try rolling a few tubes in it. Sometimes a tung sol in the first preamp stage...

Re: El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...

I sold a bunch of stuff and bought a Peavey 50/50 power amp and a Marshall 9001 preamp I was considering getting one of those 9000 series preamps myself, but instead bought a Realtube rack preamp. Did you get the tube version or the solid state model? My realtube preamp doesn't really do much for m...

Re: El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...

I installed a set of GFS vintage noiseless pickups in one of my stratocasters, along with a fender mid boost kit. I like the mid boost a lot but the GFS pickups are coming back out. The problem with those is that they are so tall that they are too close to the strings, even at the lowest setting. In...

I bought some noiseless single coils for one of my stratocasters, and also ordered an Eric Clapton mid boost kit from Amazon which ended up missing in action, never got delivered. Fuck Amazon, I should have just paid the extra three bucks and ordered from Musicians Friend. Lesson learned I guess. So...

Sleek, what is the cure time on the Reranch paint? I know certain nitrocellulose finishes can be a bitch and take actual months before it is fully cured, as was my strat project. I also never heard of putting tru oil on top of nitro, but that's cool if it works.

Re: El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...

I made my best score ever on ebay. Picked up a TC Electronics 1128 equalizer for $50. Works perfectly. I think a sound company must have been liquidating because ebay was flooded with these things earlier this week. This is undoubtedly the best sounding EQ I have ever seen or used. http://i894.photo...

I bought a bunch of stuff to make a partscaster. So far I'm liking the mighty mite body. Nice finish and it looks like two piece ash, even though they are usually three pieces. Eventually I will post pics if I get it finished up.

Question: Has anybody tried buying a guitar from an overseas business online? I'm looking at this site, http://www.muziro.com and it looks pretty legit. Good prices and they have what I want.

1/8" is way too flimsy. I would try sealing up the cab with something a little heavier, 1/2" perhaps. If you can get the cabinet sealed fairly well your lows should get a lot tighter.

I'm looking at Blues Juniors and Hot Rod Deluxes... I kinda want two blues Juniors. I can't wrap my head around the pricing though. They both go for around $400...but one is a little 15 watter, and the other a pretty robust 40. ...you can also get Hot Rod Deville's around the same price...which is ...

Re: El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...

I just installed a GFS Mini 59 in the bridge position of my schecter. Nice sounding pickup if you like a little midrange honk and bite. I'm all set if I want to play some old Who or even some southern flavored rock.

I took the plunge and bought a bunch of fretting tools. Also built a neck jig that I saw some guy on youtube using. I did a complete level/crown/polish on my warmoth strat neck and it's playing pretty awesome now. Here's a pic midway through the job. http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac146/TONOfGre...

If any of y'all are looking for a multieffects box, I'd actually suggest it. They are only available used and go around $200. That's pretty cool how you can insert your amps preamp into the chain with that thing. I kinda wish I looked into one of these six months ago. Since then I have been assembl...

Re: El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...

I just got my Mesa Mark 2 back from my tech. New caps and also a tone mod. Holy crap it sounds great now. The thing about those early Mark 2s is that the lead and clean channels sound different tonally unless you get it modded. Lead channel sounds dark and gets muddy when stock. Now, it's like a tot...

I ended up liking the Plexi Drive so much I decided to build a Pinnacle to go along with it. I'm definitely loving these Wampler designs. Probably the best dirt pedals I ever used.

Built me a Wampler Plexi Drive clone from plans i found on the internet. Sounds nice and cost a lot less than what a real one costs. Next on my project list is to build a Systech Harmonic Energizer clone.

Re: El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...

Just got a Dunlop Cry Baby 535Q. Nice pedal with tweakability, although I find myself using mostly just the one "classic" style setting. Next up, considering buying some GFS stuff, probably a chorus and the stomp box tuner pedal. Anyone have experience with the GFS pedals?

Anyone have any input on the new Vai Legacy 3 amps? The VERY FEW demos I've seen on youtube sound incredible, but man there's so little out there on it. I know it's new, but I've always loved the tone players get out of Legacy's. The scalable wattage is a major plus for smaller venues and to be so ...
