flame top Les Paul ’60s Tribute Studio…. wow…
60s studio tribute … wow exceeded my expectations by about 200%. Dude at Sam Ash said he had never seen this kind on flame on a studio. Awesome… I played the solo from Hotel California about 50 times.

New life for a dead HDD
Great weekend project I found on the instructables website. Take an old HDD, a USB hub, and a few thumb drives. Remove the HDD guts and replace with the critical parts of the USB hub. I used a dremel tool to chop the strain relief from the hub housing and hot melt glued it in place.
Clap-ton-dectomy
Clapton – Amazing, Clapton mid boost kit, not so amazing.
Removed mid boost, new cts pots and 5 way switch, sprauge .022uF cap, and a 1/4″ switchcraft jack.
Sounds much better.. Sorry Eric.
Almost kept it for myself
A friend who plays a Les Paul wanted some info on a strat. I reccomended a MIM standard. They run around $300 on craigslist. I found this 2007 with a hardshell case for $300, still has buffing compound under the frets and plastic on the pickguard. I owned it for a day!
Mullard Caps
Experimenting a bit with the tone cap on a strat. Just received an order of Mullard “tropical fish” .039uF caps. The value is in-between the standard Fender .022uF and Gibson .047uF. Should be an interesting experiment. I’ll be dropping them in next week.
