Lollar Specials (staggered poles) in an old hardtail strat

My friend Thorsten here in Germany did some work on one of my little amps so here’s the initial sounds with my 74 tele straight in.

Today I’ve put together some chops work arounds for those of us who don’t have the pick chops like we did in our early days because of years of having to make a living playing the world’s most popular guitar music: KUNTRY.

Whelp. Pretty much all these things need work at this point. But this one at least sounds pretty good and the neck shape is cool. The weight is right where I like it and it looks like the wood paneling in a house built in the 50s/60s which is also cool. Going to be a nice funky beater to gig with.

Haven’t busted this one out in a long time. Plugged it straight into my Burman 501 combo. A really interesting amp that time forgot.

It's the most glorious new amp day in a LONG time. Just took delivery of an amp built by my long time buddy Ross Schlichting of Amp Monster. It's a 59 Tweed Bassman in a nice headshell with some cool old NOS parts where they matter most and some really nice modern upgrades where they matter most (speaker output options and an improved bias setup). Ross has been fixing and building amplifiers fo...

Popped right in, took the radius shim out and set up the intonation. Sounds and feels perfects in this vintage Hamer super strat. Amp is my living room Yamaha practice amp…sorry about that.
