Glad you like the Blackstar Doug!
They have great engineers but I think their marketing department is operating with one brain cell to share among all of them. I'm told the TVP button is there so the sales drone can demo it to customers. ![]() My buddy modded his ID15 to have an output jack and hooked it up to a 4x12 cab...it kicks ass. And it's a damned sight cheaper than the Blackstar TVP head unit. Keep an eye out for firmware updates. They seem to be adding features now and then.

So, here's an update. Probably one of the best additions to the the amp and Tele is my three guitar- guitar stand, made by On Stage Stands. This little number is getting me playing the guitar more frequently. Keeping it in an old acoustic case was not ideal. This stand is completely safe for the fender necks. The pivoting cradles take all the weight and by telescoping the neck up there is no chance of damaging necks by contact with other guitars. I also like the spring neck holds that keep your guitar from accidentally falling out. They are plenty soft and easy to cradle and uncradle the guitar even with one hand.
After watching many you-tube lessons, I decided I wanted to play an open G setup as much as I wanted to play the standard tuning. So I picked up another Tele. One just for open G. This is a rock bottom Squire Tele, but man it plays sweet. I love it. It has an unfinished neck and alder body in butterscotch with all the grain showing. It is beautiful. It did have fret ends that needed filing down so I did that myself. I'm very pleased with the results. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Gone from 0 to a pair of Teles Doug! Nice. Theres a "Tubby Tele" thread around here somewhere- they'd be good additions.

I went into the shop to buy one of the American Vintage series strats for $2,200. Played the std just for comparison and walked out with it instead. Now, I DO NOT like what they have done to the body shape of the new telecasters...bummer

Yes, it's like a disease. I should have named this thread Teles. I checked your thread on the Tubby Tele. That is bad ass.

Well there you go. Good article. If you start playing about, keep a high bias to the treble side, quite a lot. The bass strings carry much more mass. As always, let your ears be your guide....
And Page's middle pup LesPaul sound-very elusive. As a kid I hated it, but now, its so distinctive. Less gain, lots of amp treble- and pickup heights. Little bit of tone wound off the bridge, and fine adjustment of the vols...Volume knobs really should be called tone controls. |

A change from your regularly scheduled programming. My most recent guitar a George Lynch tiger strat.
Not a traditional strat but this thing is so rad. I'd been on a used guitar kick and was dropping one off to get set up when I saw this guy and the price was right. Made by a local custom shop, custom pup, hand painted, real floyd, made in america! My other guitars feel so neglected now that I have this one. ![]() The attention to detail is just lightyears beyond my other cheap imports.
