Hamer Steve Stevens model eh? Is that the one that had the toy ray guy guts built in?

[ZahZoo]

64 Fender Duo Sonic
98 Fender Jimmie Vaughan Tex Mex Strat
02 Agile Ovation copy

Only amp I have right now is a 65 watt Crate practice amp... I sold my 64 Fender Bassman back to it's original owner after 20 years of good use. My old buddy/bass player sold it to me in 83... he got divorced 3 times and decided he wanted his ole sweetheart back... how could I refuse.

his may have. regular models didn't. i think the raygun was mostly a Lexicon box, maybe an Eventide, but now he uses a toy gun and holds it up to the pickup. i've seen a cool SS1 in screamin' yellow that had LED's in the fingerboard.

I recently bought a brand new les paul copy and the fucking thing will not stay in tune worth a fuck.

If you tune to an open chord then barre chords are out of tune and vice versa.

Any ideas?

[twonabomber]

i'd take it back and tell 'em you want it setup. who knows how many snot-nosed kids beat on it before you bought it.

[Mr Badguy]

It holds it`s tuning better when you detune to Eb.

Still not perfect, though.

Maybe I`ll try restringing it.

[twonabomber]

i dunno. if you bought a car or a computer or something else and it didn't work right, would you sit there and fuck with it? probably not. if it's brand new, i expect it to work right outta the box. if it doesn't, back it goes.

That sounds like the intonation/neck is out. A $45 setup at your local guitar shop should fix it. Otherwise you will need a new neck. What brand is it ?

Matchbook cover, cut to fit between both pairs of screws the full length of the neck slot & coated both sides in Elmer's White Glue. Tighten screws allow dry overnite. Guarantee to rigid them shitty laminated bodies to the neck, unless you got VibratoNECK™ - in which case, enjoy the wonders of a neck made of the finest mahogany the Phillipines Cratebox and Pallet industry is known for.

I got ripped off badly by some fucking Mormon cunts - so my practic rig is now:

1980 Musicman Sabre II modded w/cream handwound PAF/63DuoSonic/handwound vintage Duncan Staggered Strat pickups setup and Kahler locking trem, stock tuners no preamp

1986 Kramer EVH stripe job (1 of 1100 originals) former EVH owned, Duncan EVH pickup, B-Berry transducer and 2 preamps, dual vol., Orig Floyd Rose

1993 Fender Mexico Telecaster 9 string mod, w/doubled top strings, mid-late 60's lead PU and bridge

2002 Squire Affinity (Indonesia) neck on mid-90's white Korean Squire body, alum pickguard w/Fender gold Lace bridge/61DuoSonic mid/78Fender USA peeled-down to 4.9K neck position pickups

1989 Charvel/Jackson pointy-head neck on 1978 Charvel Explorer butterscotch body solid ash, gold hdwr, tele controls top-routed, ABR-1 Les Paul bridge and tailpiece, Schaller M1 Mini gold tuners w/vintage Gibson humbuckers

1965 Gulbransen, 1958 Hammond M-100 (chopped) with 2 chintzey Leslie rotarys I don't dig.. and some digital piece of crap controller keyboard with crappy presets I can't fucking figger out to get a decent Rhodes sound.. may sell it, but I like the vibes setting.

1980 Marshall JMP 100 watt 4 input Superlead (former VH/Ratt/RHCP owned)
1993 Marshall SL-X 100 watt JCM900 Superlead Extended
1986 Gallien-Krueger Microlead 250-ML 100 watt stereo chorus

1990 AD/A 2x12 half-slant cab w/1 pair Celestion G12K-85's

1976 Marshall 1960A w/ 1 pair ea G12-M 25watt Celestion Black, 75watt Celestion G12-T75

Bradshaw custom 8 output 2.5 (?) amp 9v power supply by Custom Audio Electronics, AD/A Flanger, 6 custom wahs (4 Jerry Blaha, 1 Roger Mayer of London, 1 self-cobbled), customized Rotovibe by Sam McRae of Dunop Mfg, MXR Distortion II, MXR Flanger, rack blueface chorus/doubler model, Ross Phaser - orig orange model, plus a cakewalk of other crap in the trunk I use from time to time (no fancy pedalboard crap)

Looking to replace my stolen Rocktron Hush IIb and Hush IICX units.. possibly selling the 80 Superlead

Junkbox of pickups
