lee32476 asked:


I have a ’79 Les Paul, and one of the buttons on the machine heads has come loose. I would like to replace the whole set, but I’m having trouble finding a replacement that is vintage nickel with nickel buttons. It seems like all they make now are pearloid. Does anyone know where I can find these? I live in Tampa, but I’m guessing I’m going to have to find this online somewhere. Otherwise, does anyone know a good bonding agent to get this thing stuck back on. It’s my low E string, so there’s a good deal of tension when you turn it…

christopher_2481 asked:


I know the bluesjr is suppost to be cheaper versions of these classic tweed amps but tone and speakers and tubes i am sure dont measure up
so sound wise what charactor is the champ known for and whats missing from the Blues Jr.
Clapton was known for using a Champ for recording to get that thick distortion on Layla at low volume. and the Jr. to me ( i played one yeasterday) wasn’t close to sound thick or warm it had too much treble and sounded thin and cheap.. i want that thick warm vintage fender tone clapton had

Max B asked:


I am planning on buying a vintage Fender Twin Reverb from a local music store. As you may already know, however, this is a very clean amp. I was looking for some suggestions as to what type of pedal i should get to get a nice overdrive tone while still maintaining some of the wonderful characters of the amp.

P.S. I play a stratocaster

Nathan asked:


Ok well i just got this guitar and i have really go clean tones so i dont need those. But im having difficultly finding a good eq on my amp that brings out the great sounds of this guitar. Ive played and heard it before and it sounds awesome. But anyway i have a fender dsp212 solid state amp, i cant afford another one right now but if you have any suggestions that would be great. For reference im looking for a good gritty, bluesy rock sound. A good tone for stuff like zz top, hendrix, zepplin, eric johnson, ect…

How can I remove “ghosts” left by stickers from a vintage Gibson? And how can I remove the rest safely?

Salley J asked:


Really stuck on stickers on a vintage Gibson gutiar. Safe removal of remaining stickers without making more ghosts on it.
I did remove the ones I took off with oil, still leaves an outline of the sticker. It’s a beautiful gutiar, made in 1956 and the same model used by John lennon and Paul McCartney. I don’t have any car buffer stuff, do you think that will work if I buy some? Have you seen it work on something that old? I would really like to try and do it myself before I take it for restoration. Great answers though.

Bart asked:


I purchased this used in 1980 from my Uncle who sang in bars in Northern Michigan. It’s mint and quite unique, yet to see another Les Paul copy that looks like this one.
