Silvertone

Posted by Jorge on Fri, 02/13/2004 - 22:26.

I have a Strat inspired Silvertone with the Silvertone name on the headstock along with a Big S behind the name and a made in Japan label on the back of it. I tried to find some info on line but I can only come up with Harmony Silvertone, and I can't find a guitar picture that looks like it. Has anyone ever heard of it or point me in the right direction for some info. It has three single pickups, and a sunburst finish. It looks like a cool vintage guitar Something nice to play.

Thanks for any info.

You have a new 70's guitar made by the New Japan Harmony company which is in trouble now. They made copies of all the good guitars and did a pretty good job. They have no website and their phone is answered by an answering machine.....

Yamaha DG-Stomp

Posted by scott Dempsey on Sat, 02/14/2004 - 00:31.

Just bought a Yamaha DG-Stomp of ebay and wanted to know if there are any videos available on how to use it. If not how do I educate myself on what an effects module is and does and all the minutia associated with it.

Re: Yamaha DG-Stomp

go to:
http://www.yamaha.co.jp/english/product/guitar/dg/dg_stomp.html

curious

Posted by Mike on Sat, 02/14/2004 - 09:54.

Can you use a distortion pedal to switch channels,from clean to dirty, the pedal I have sux, but the amps dirty is pretty good

Re: curious

Posted by lee on Sun, 02/15/2004 - 21:04.

no you cant, go to the your local guitar/amp shop and ask for the channel swich pedal that should have come with the amp, they dont cost much.

Les Paul Copy

Posted by Steve Hardesty on Sat, 02/14/2004 - 10:38.

I have obtained a LP copy that has the word "STEVEN" on the headstock. It is a very good playing axe. It has binding all around and a great flame top. It was purchased by my son when he was living in china and was playing there. It is almost an exact copy of a standard except has a little different body configuration on the backside. Plays and feels like a real quality piece. I can't find any info on this guitar on the web. Can anyone help me?

ES-335 w/block inlays

Posted by Ken Masten on Sat, 02/14/2004 - 17:57.

Anyone know of a reissue ES-335 (Cherry Red) with block inlays not dot neck markers?? The Vintage Guitar Price Guide & Blue Book both mention them but I can't find one. The Gibson Custom Shop wants your first born to make a block neck 335. Any help appreciated.

Re: ES-335 w/block inlays

Posted by lee on Tue, 02/17/2004 - 05:47.

did you realy want the re-issue? what about the original '66 model? what an investment, $3000? i know what you mean about the blocks though, i have a re-issuse with dot markers and always prefered the look of the block markers, also mine has the grover heads, and those klusons look the biz.

Re: ES-335 w/block inlays

Posted by Pedro on Sat, 02/14/2004 - 19:31.

What is a guitar strap and a pitch pipe?
Thank you.

Re: help

Posted by Gabriel on Sun, 02/15/2004 - 05:14.

The strap is the "belt" that you put in your neck to hold the guitar.
The pitch pipe is a device that functions as a tuner and it works by blowing through it to hear the tunes.

New cool guitars and gear.

Posted by Fred on Sat, 02/14/2004 - 20:34.

A friend of mine makes some really nice guitars and sells the coolest gear. His gear is similar to Orange county Choppers stuff. brtguitars.com

Stolen Telecaster

Posted by Chuck Cusimano on Sat, 02/14/2004 - 20:38.

Someone broke a back window of a car sitting outside a bar on Greenville Ave. in Dallas Tx in 1973, and stole my Fender Telecaster, and Tiesco Amp from the back seat. I realize that a lot of water has passed under the old bridge, but I loved that guitar. (The internet gives me a chance to PUT THE WORD OUT) I bought it in Sasebo Japan thru the Navy Exchange while on R&R in around 1970/71 (can't remember for sure.) I don't remember the serial # and am not positive, but I think it's a 1968/69. I'm sure of the color: off white with a rosewood neck. I do remember I scribed my name CHUCK CUSIMANO,into the wood, under the pick guard. At the time it was stolen, it had a custom LEATHER (black) pick guard with CHUCK in white letters, and red roses.The white plastic original one was also in the original case. Also it had a custom padded leather guitar strap, with my name CHUCK, comming down the front. It was black with white letters, and red roses, along with white "buckstitching" I used to do a lot of leather work, and I made them at the same time (1972)I made a leather guitar strap for Merle Haggard.(His was brown letters on natural leather, with brown "buckstitching". I am not rich, and I probably don't stand one chance in hell of ever recovering the guitar, but I would sure try to pay a decent reward to get it back. That guitar was a friend to me during the Vietnam war even if for a little while. If you even know anything about it please E-MAIL me at:
[email protected] Thank you!

Re: I have a Squire is it any good

Posted by Lee on Sun, 02/15/2004 - 20:59.

where was it made? if its jap they tend to be very good, china and india are not so good. 200 is OTT for the latter

76 Ibanez Les Paul Custom

Posted by Richard Jackson on Sun, 02/15/2004 - 21:01.

Bought this guitar for 325 on ebay June 02.
Guitar has an annoying squeal when cranked.
I thought about changing pickups but after reading some reviews on another site this might not cure the squeal.
Has anyone out there ran into this on other Jap Pauls?
Also I see a lot of talk here about ebay.
While you can get some deals,beware people.
My friend in DFW thought he was getting an Orville
and turned out to be a Burny LP Standard with Gibson decals. Paid 535.
Back to Ibanez,is the squeal Im getting common on all Ibanez Les Pauls?
Thanx
Rico in Tejas

Re: 76 Ibanez Les Paul Custom

Posted by SSGT HATE on Sun, 02/29/2004 - 12:55.

SQEAL SQEAL. RESOLDER THE WHOLE GUITAR INCLUDING THE GROUND. USING THE BEST SOLDER YOU CAN FIND.
PS: DONT CHANGE THE PICKUPS FROM WHAT I WAS ALWAYS TOLD THE IBANEZ LP COPY OF THE LATE 70'S IS WORTH A LOT OF MONEY AND IBANEZ WAS SUED BY GIBSON FOR THOSE MODELS SO HANG ONTO THAT RIG ........
