What Did You Do With Your Guitar(s) Today?

[maguchi]

Dialed in a rockabilly sound and freaked out on some swing/jump blues.

Dug two guitars out of the basement to clean and setup; 1976 Time Galaxy Special and Time Explorer (year-unknown probably early 80's). Somebody put some serious hours in on the GS... still sounds and plays decent after a couple decades in storage. Gotta get the Explorer back in shape as I recall that one sounded really good. Projects projects lol

Time Galaxy Special and Time Explorer

Time. Never heard of them.

 

[stonge]

Time. Never heard of them.

They were a regional New England thing for the most part. We used to see them in Lasalle Music and Daddy's Junky Music. They were built in Vermont in the 70's and 80's, and at one point Paul Langudoc worked there. They had some interesting designs later on, but the workshop burned down in 1991 and they went out of business.

Stole @State of Epicicity’s jumper wire idea and have been trying out some different cap and resistor values for a treble bleed for my PRS:

 

[Stratzrus]

I tried my Gibson ES-333 going into a Fractal Audio FM9 and Fender FR-12 so that I could have a fresh memory of what the Fender sounds like before getting an Archangel V2 preamp installed this weekend. The rig sounded great and could easily be gigged as is.

And one for the Strat:

I removed the treble bleed from my prs last week, I found my fuzz faces work much better without it.

Setting this girl up after a re-radius and refret. Currently sitting at 0.005” relief and 4/64” action at the 12th across the board. Still needs some tweaking, but so far so good:

NICE!

Been working on the action of the Schecter since getting it home.

Damn, I didn’t know you already picked it up! And you got the right color too!

 

[norminal]

What size frets did you go for?

They’re Jescar that are very close to the Fender “Vintage Tall” frets that came on the neck.

Here’s the specs on the frets:

Kind of in-between a 6100 and 6105.

Nice. Those are pretty close to Dunlop 6125s. That's what I have on my strat neck from usacg.

Anyone care to take a guess ?

You bought another guitar?

Nice. Those are pretty close to Dunlop 6125s. That's what I have on my strat neck from usacg.

The guy who did the refret said they were only a few thousands different from the original frets. The guitar feels identical if it weren’t for the re-radius from 7-1/4 to 9-1/2”.

I think I may have discovered the secret to the early Van Halen guitar tone.
