I love 'em. They're great. Dropped a set in a R7. Funnily enough the A4 pickups and voicing isn't too far removed from the Shaws in my 85 Standard (I got the 85 later and noticed some similarities after I played both next to each other) but there's a bit more output vs the Shaws. That extra...

Ah yes, the ol' DIs are my actual playing ruse.

Knew that one wouldn’t last long. Congrats to the new soon to be owner.

I’ve got two newer SEs and a S2. The SEs are great. Full stop. Not just for the money. My SE Starla is a super comfortable guitar to play and hold, the neck feels good and the stock pickups have a Gretschy kind of thing going on but with a bit more meat behind them. I dig it. I added a...

DSLs are great. I had a 2000 for years and it was an awesome amp. I’d love to have one again. Cleans were awesome, boosted crunch was great and OD2 boosted was my jam. Secret to OD2 is to keep the gain below 3 and add a boost to tighten it up. In my case, my SD-1 was awesome with that mode.

Still have mine. Did the class in 2016 and I’ve had it since. Thought about doing a mod here or there but I like it so much as is that I’ll probably never change it. Only thing I’d do at this point is maybe make a hot rod bluesbreaker combo out of it with 2 Greenbacks.

#5442? I owned her for a bit. Beautiful guitar.

It’s great amp but I wouldn’t pay much more than $1K for the combo. Less than. I had an immaculate one from 2000 that I only got $800 for. Great amp, but no one wants to move a stupidly heavy 100 lb combo these days.

Love Boomers. They’ve always been great for me. They’re my default string for Strats and Super Strats. I may start using them on my LPs soon. Plus, buying GHS helps support the local MI economy. Part of the reason I’ve bought ThroBak strings for my LPs.

Last thing I ordered from Wade was an Angel Dust set back in 2018. Fantastic pickups. His service can take some time without a lot of communication. I’m not knocking the guy, as he does eventually make good on his deliveries but it can take some time.
