One of the hardest parts for me when I started was I’d end up scorching the finish, melting wire insulation and generally other wise messing up my guitar by not being hyper careful with that iron.
Negative feedback, especially in hi-if or studio gear or some early ampegs be done at any stage of the amp, not just taken from the output and fed to an earlier stage. An unbypassed cathode resistor is neg. Feedback too.
Love that totally faded color.
But man i hate seeing grime/filth on guitars. Nasty. How do they ever get like that??
Looks like it belonged to a homeless person.
That the exact finish color of my 2016 R8 when I got it. Faded significantly since then. I imagine the phoenix sun will do a quick fade job on yours.
Anyhow, beautiful guitar and cool story!
Wow. Old cruddy pots definitely sound clearer after cleaning, maybe the lube in these newer pots weren’t allowing the wiper to make good contact with the trace. If so, that sucks!
My ‘16 R8 has faded a lot and fast. And it’s mostly lived in its case. But 6 months after I got it new, it was very very noticeable. The 2nd pic was taken 4 years after new.
Used prices lately are insane, on all kinds of things. Due to staff shortages and delivery problems.
Also reverb seems to be the haven of insane asking prices.
I love less mics myself, if the recording space sounds good. And I’ll take 2 overheads on the drums anyway over micing each drum separately.
Stereo recording sure can be cool to but I also really love mono. That seems to sound the most natural to me.
Thanks for posting these beautiful guitars.
glad you’re cancer free for almost 2 years!
If the Lord closes the door on cancer for you, nothing can open that up again.
He’s our ‘ever present help’ and it won’t be long until you and your son are united again.
God bless you, Merry Christmas.
