bolero

yeah that takes admiration of old tubes to a whole new level

GC was the final designation of the 6L6 right? I wonder if design changes between them has anything to do with the sound. Did you measure the actual plate voltage of the Wooly amp?

Nice to see "The Heritage" back on the headstock Although I think it should be the other way around: US handmade models should be "The Heritage" & the offshore less expensive ones "Heritage" doesn't affect the instrument in any way so I guess it's superfluous

Now you're in trouble. You drank the Kool Aid. You'll probably have to get another one at some point Heritage guitars have always been admired by the cognoscenti, and the headstock agnostic. They are truly great instruments. I've gone through & stil have some others but Heritage are my faves

Beautiful 535!

wow, look at that! Beautiful guitar. Congrats!

Gorgeous!

shipping damage, unfortunately. I never even got to hear it!

too late....

I have one of those with a destroyed cone I keep forgetting about. I should get it reconed!

I have an Eastman 00 acoustic that is great sounding

these guys are unimpressed

hey, I found it! whew. It's still here. I guess it was posted in the other big generic pond of blogs like a box of frogs All those moments in time could have been lost, like tears in the rain

haha, very true, that!

what it is ain't exactly clear

there's something happening here

uggh. I guess everything got nuked back when the server funk went down... I blame the frog

This is the third topic I just checked in, to see what condition my condition was in

man, I was just thinking about this thread again. I wish I still had my celestion alnico blues & alnico gold 12" speakers. They were really good. I sold them when I unloaded my Vox & Matchless amps

some nice gtrs there!!

yep summed up pretty good above There is a dynamic between particular speakers & particular amps. Always good to play around with combinations but use caution. Unless you can afford recones or don't have any rare vintage speakers. I have an old ~15w tube amp I put an ancient Bell & Howell alnico film speaker in it, very light resonant cone. That thing RAWKS when it's cranked up. I bet it's just on the verge of the speaker's power handling

yes good points Waverly tuners are amazing. $$ though

they look good I tried a belly cut on a 535 once. It didn't end well.

Holy 357 mania!! is that 3 of them in there? what kind of bass is that guy using? looks unique, lipstick pickups too?

I bet the dumbass who wired the gtr up made a mistake
