Need to clean it up and put new strings on, but it's not a bad player as it sits. i definitely don't see a reason it was only $85 when most of the Jay Tursers they've had were around $150.

Clearly too square to realize that goofiness is a selling point.

Yeah, back when I got my Cube 30x many years ago, the first thing I did was switch out the speaker to an Eminence Delta Demon and not only did the volume get higher but the sound was significantly improved. That was a killer deal for great tone back when they sold them - I don't know what the current Cubes are like and what speaker swaps are recommended though.

More like a NGD for someone else: Fixed this old Shin-Ei Fuzz-Wah (Jesus and Mary Chain used them for "that" sound). It's kinda like an elite athlete past its prime: way more valuable on the market than to the team (me). Sounds awesome tho.

Is that the Fuzzdog PCB? I want to make a Brassmaster so bad. Way back when I had a Pod XT I bought an expansion pack that had a model of the Brassmaster and my love of fuzz exploded. Little did I realize, it's probably the most involved fuzz circuit there is.

I dunno man I think I'd take this opportunity to introduce you to my favorite Fuzzstortion ever: the Jext Telez White pedal. It is the dopest fuzz sound mixed with a 3-position inductor cocked-wah thing. It starts at Beatles' White Album tone and goes to full-on fuzzy saturation anger.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaJDYYxQ6Ug

Watch the whole thing you might be shocked how bonkers it is. I will never sell mine.

edit: I sound like a sales pitch but I have nothing invested in this company. I really, really love this pedal. I've taken it apart and traced its secrets kind of love this pedal (it uses 2n4125 transistors as clipping diodes! neat!).

I don't doubt that but I didn't think I'd get far with a speaker swap in a sealed cab that is a glorified car stereo sub box. The open back on the Katana series is a great move by Roland.

I'm so glad I held out for the four-input interface to match my 70s four-track reel-to-reel era board. It's taken a while, but I've finally got signal running to cassette and computer the way I wanted, and it's scary how good stuff has been turning out when recorded to tape, then dumped into the PC.

Yeah, it's the Fuzzdog kit. I didn't expect to have the enclosure holes already drilled out, which was a nice surprise - one less thing to do. I just need to get time to finish things up and to complete the enclosure. The art is mostly done, just need to do some tweaks.

Got a very exciting duo of a multi cable for a 1 Spot adapter (for guitar pedals) and then 3.5mm (1/8") converter so I can use my honkin huge EHX pedal w/it.
The end result of this unsexy duo of purchases at least means that I can now connect all of my pedals together. Hooray!

And here it is, it came sooner than I expected:


Plays great, no noticeable intonation problems from the bridge, and it sounds extremely rude. The neck pickup is insane, I was playing through Amplitube's JCM800 knockoff and it was basically making Electric Wizard sounds all on its own.
The picture is underselling the color a bit, it's an opaque gloss finish and vividly butter yellow. Tacky but I like it.

That's dope. I love the vibe of a Melody Maker, a Junior, and a Special all smashed together.

My silly MJT+Musikraft project I started back in May is finally done: the Friendo Telecopy, for which the base concept was "1965 Tele with a rosewood neck and a few quality-of-life upgrades"











Here's the modernizations:
- Schaller strap locks
- Gotoh locking tuners
- Glendale compensated saddles
- DiMarzio Area T noiseless pickups
- Stainless 6105 fret wire

I don't think I've ever seen a rosewood neck before. Does it have a separate fingerboard or is it all one piece?

Listen, Mr. Kansas Law Dog.

The fretboard is a separate piece. In this case, it's a curved veneer instead of a straight cut slab, simply because that's the way rosewood fretboards were made in 1965. It's a fairly meaningless detail that you have to look extremely closely at the heel to even notice, but I'm a big ol' nerd so I had it done that way. Basically, aside from the shaft wood and a few quality of life concessions, it has very authentic 1965 specs.

My St. Vincent also has a rosewood neck. They're extremely dope. Also, you can leave rosewood unfinished, which I did, so that feels amazing.

Well, mathing it out, it should make a difference of about 3 or 4 oz on a guitar neck versus rock maple. Both of my rosewood-necked guitars are a tad neck heavy, but only because the bodies are stupid light. This tele is only 6.93 lbs total - just a touch heavier than the average Gibson SG, which is ridiculous for a telecaster.

That's a beautiful tele, congrats. For some reason I pretty much always love these stickin it to the man type copies or homage guitars, and this one is especially cool.

Also, your tele is the first tele I've seen with a rosewood fretboard I've liked! Neat!

Picked up one of these guitars for cheap. It's a bit tacky looks wise, but I am very impressed with the feel and sound of it. Apparently tons of these are sitting in a warehouse somewhere because the guitar line never launched or something.

Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!


Recently received this as a gift from my uncle. He said he bought it at a flea market in Juarez for $30 about 20 years ago. It had a busted tuning peg and steel strings when I got it, so it sounded like garbage. $10 fixed both of those problems, and now it sounds pretty good, especially for the price. I am hardly a classical guitar player, but I'm having a blast playing the same bossa nova rhythm a thousand times.

The sticker inside says it was made in Paracho, Michoacan, but apparently a lot of these super cheap "Mexican" guitars are actually made in China, so who knows.

I'm liking it so far. It's a pretty flexible pedal. You can put it in polyphonic mode, and it will track notes (and even chords) nearly perfectly. Alternatively, in "classic" mode, it's more monophonic and glitchy. It's cheaper than any variety of EHX POG by about $70, and its controls are simple and effective. I like it.
