I have a Fender Hot Rod 52 Tele that has been my go to guitar for over a year and she's a beaut! She sings and plays very nicely. The only thing I have not been sure on is the neck thickness. It just never felt thick enough for my liking, but I lived with it because I like every other aspect. I like the 9.5" radius of the Tele neck and the medium jumbo frets.

I recently aquired a Gibson es-339 with the large 59' neck and it kills! I love the big neck. So now more then ever I am finding my Tele neck is too small in comparison. The bigger neck just feels alot more comfortable with my large Ape like hands. . So, I am thinking about getting a different neck for my Tele but I'm on the fence. The Tele currently sings and plays like butter and I'm worried that things could change with a new neck.

Now I am not sure if I should take a chance and order a new neck or maybe sell the guitar and find another Tele with a bigger neck.

I am hoping some advice from this forum might help, thanks. ]]> Guitars in General TREV FLINT http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=632096 http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=632095&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:30:09 GMT any reviews of Avatar Wide Traditional Guitar Cabinet G112W ?

Hi all,

i am sure it has been discuss but i prefer to ask again to get a personal treatment lol

I have a PRS CU22 with a wide fat profile, and I own also 2 gibsons : 1 studio gem, and 1 standard with 60 profile.

Let say that i was used to my stuido neck for a long time, then i went to thinner necks (ibanez guitars), and now i can play all but i feel really confortable with my standard ...

How does the R7 compares to the wide fat from PRS??

And then, which gibson would be closer to my PRS??

Thanks,
Mica. ]]> Guitars in General micamused http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=632094 http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=632093&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:27:59 GMT I have been wanting a 3 tone burst 59 strat for a long time but everytime Fender make a run from the custom shop they always change a spec to make it... I have been wanting a 3 tone burst 59 strat for a long time but everytime Fender make a run from the custom shop they always change a spec to make it wrong.:FM

I want a late 59 spec with the D shaped neck, Brazilian board, clay dots and mint green pickguard with 11 screws. I dont really care about the relic stuff but will buy with or without relicing as long as the specs are correct.

Anyone else in the same boat that wants a 59, maybe we could get a dealer to do a limited run for us? ]]> Guitars in General EXPcustom http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=632093 http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=632091&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:25:44 GMT I had purchased (the only place I could find one) a Danelectro Swami Pedal.

I did try one back when I worked at the music store although never actually got around to buying one. Well I wanted to use the effect for my band's upcoming recording, so I did a "buy it now" got the pedal. So ready for this the guy packages it a wireless telephone box (1980's panasonic), without any bubble wrap and or anything to keep it from moving around. The input of the pedal didn't even hold the cable in, and when I turned it on there was no response from the guitar being plucked just some weird noises that wouldn't stop . So I did a claim through ebay, they told me in not so many words to go scratch. I contacted Danelectro to see if they would release the schematics or walk my repair guy through fixing it and they declined, although the lady who helped me did try to locate a new one to send to me.

OK so that was my rant, now I have two questions:

1) should I have my repair guy attempt to repair it, or should I not waste the time and money?

I wanted to use that effect for one of our songs, and I am 50/50 on this

2) does anyone know what combination of effects I can use to emulate that sound? I have a G-System & a G-Major (both T.C.

I mic my cabs and sometimes use a pod x3 direct into the computer. I retake over and over with different tones until I get it the best I can. It's never perfect. I mix the recording and then take the vocal wav. files and instrumentals separately to eq and amplify if necessary. That's pretty much all I can do by myself. Do you home studio guys do similar? Sometimes, I find myself thinking that if I had a professional studio then my ideas could really come to life. I don't know if that's true, but what do professional studios have to get that amazing sound in recordings that a home studio cannot duplicate?
