Yeah i have but they're harder to come by. I'm probably gonna be buying from ebay, either new or second hand in near perfect condition. Riviera's are going for quite a bit more and have they not been discontinued? Apparently Casino's are a fair bit lighter than Sheritons which is probably what makes...

Alright everyone. I'm gonna get myself either of the above in the next few weeks (assuming my credit card application is succesful ;) What are anyones vies on which is the better guitar? From my experience the Sheraton has a higher build quality, i've played a friends on many occasions and the overa...

Thanks for all the opinions guys. I hope i'm not breaking any rules by mentioning prices too much here but i'd seen a tokai les paul custom for round about the £300 sterling mark which i thought was an absolute steal, but then i've seen other tokai les paul customs selling for about £700 - so ...

I recently got an Epiphone valve special amp, its not a bad little amp for the money but i need a bit more crunch, a bit more top end and more overall gain. I'm using it with an original Marshall Guv'nor pedal and the sound is good but i'm not a pedal geek, i prefer to go straight into the amp. Can ...

I'm thinking of getting a les paul custom, i can't justify paying in excess of £1500 so Gibson is out of the question. I used to have an Epiphone version and was very pleased with overall build quality and sound - however i was thinking of trying a tokai version. Any one played the Tokai LC53? Th...

I've just ordered one of the above, in black with a rosewood neck, i wondered if anyone else has any experience of these guitars? i already have a standrad tele and its the best, thats why i got another, so reliable. Does anyone know if there's much difference tonally between a 60's reissue tele and...

I'm afraid im a firm believer that a few beers brings out the best in me, it may be that i'm practically alcoholic anyway so i need a few beers in order to do anything compitently, but sometimes i feel so wooden when playing guitar sober, my fingers feel sluggish and it takes a while to warm up, aft...

Has anyone on here ever replaced the bulb in an AD30r - mine went sometime ago and i dont know where to go for a replacement, i tried a local electrical store but they said its a specialist item and normal electrical stores wont stock it?

This is honestly the only pic i have of my white tele, i apologise for my small nipples

I play overdriven blues/rock/british/ crunchy classic rock through my AD30, i cant really imagine using it for much else, i play a lot of ambient FXy stuff too, but i wouldn't normally use the orange for that, although i'm sure its cabaple in the right hands.

Actually i've found i cant get the wooden panel off the back of my AD30r to get to the valves, well i could but i'd have to shed some real sweat putting all my weight behind a screwdriver and something tells me thats not right, or maybe i'm just very weak?

Its weird, i play an AD30R and i've played it in some really loud situations and never had to have the volume above half way. I cant imagine how loud an 140 watt valve is and i cant imagine any situation where you could have it turned up anywhere near full without everyone screaming at you. Most of ...

Thanks guys, it'll only be at a low volume (bedroom volume!) so think it will be fine.
My next purchase is a Hammond XB2 complete with Lesley, so its only a temp mesure till i get the Lesley.
God damn, at this rate my Telecaster is gonna be gathering some serious dust!

Hi guys, not been on here for years, hope all is well. I recently invested in a Fender Rhodes, i'm yet to collect it but was intending on using it through my AD30r when i get it, for that overdriven sound, this will not kill my amp will it? i know people often use em through a Fender twin but i know...

I'm getting myself an Epiphone valve junior amp.

5 Watts class a valve amp for under £100. I can't wait. I would have thought that would be perfect for home use.
