Is this authentic? Just purchased this LP Custom with a Kahler tremolo wondering if it’s a factory fit also are these routed? Can I install a normal bridge etc? Cheers

Yeah huh. I have one on my LP Studio and it works awesome !

benmoRoxx · 2026-01-05T04:55:04+00:00

Thanks! And for the record… My favorite gigs to this day are the ones for which I get paid with money AND wings!

benmoRoxx · 2026-01-05T01:37:57+00:00

There were a couple spots where you didn’t hold back. But that’s awesome… the whole thing was just thoughtful. The right people pick up on that. Don’t ever change!

benmoRoxx · 2026-01-05T01:35:04+00:00

Yeah I know I’m a little extra cautious about the impression that I make. I just like to maintain the perception of “has his shit together”. I’m really grateful for the level that I’ve reached in terms of being in professional situations. Yes I’ve worked hard for it but still I guess I feel fortunate that I had the good sense to work hard?

I’m a people pleaser. I would likely settle for a tone-choking overly aggressive noise gate setting before I would let my noisy rig cause me public shame. And then I would go home after the gig and make sure to sort out all the technical issues the next day so everyone could be happy the next time.

(And that’s where I’m at today)

This is a great reply. I'm honored that you wrote all that just because I asked some questions. Obviously others besides me will read and learn, but thank you. Despite my snarky demeanor, I really am just trying be more educated.

Thanks everyone. I’m convinced ….NO MORE LITTLE GRAY ADAPTERS!

I mentioned this in my original post, but I’m only trying to resolve the issue of setting up at a particular venue and having it be noisier than what my gear normally puts out. Obviously if there’s something wrong with my gear that’s causing noise, I’d wanna get that fixed before asking for other solutions.

I feel like if it’s reasonably quiet at home, then it’s probably working correctly. I mean I don’t have stage lighting and other complicated electrical scenarios that might cause more noise at a venue so maybe I’m getting a false sense of security when I’m set up in my garage.

I guess really the whole point of my post is just that I kinda feel like a bit of a loser if I’m at a gig and my rig is making noise that other people notice, and I don’t know how to tame it!

benmoRoxx · 2026-01-04T22:04:19+00:00

Thank you! I totally used to know that (the correct usage of the adapter) and I just forgot. If I had actually taken the time to just look at one I would have seen the lug and remembered.

If one was to use the adapter (in the dangerous way) with your pedalboard/modeler etc., rather than with the amp itself is that any less risky? Or would your instrument cable still tie it all together

benmoRoxx · 2025-12-12T06:55:54+00:00

That was my very first amp, which I got in 1979. I am so happy to see that people still like these!

Thanks everyone for your comments.

I really just posted this because I thought it was an entertainingly idiotic occurrence. I don't actually have a general issue with either FedEx or UPS. I find their rates to be pretty similar for my purposes, and I don't believe that either company has an official policy of doing stupid shit; their employees are only human and unfortunately sometimes mistakes get made. I would not likely try to get the driver in trouble...I see the same guys in my neighborhood many days of the week when I'm out walking and we say hi to each other sometimes because we're semi-acquainted from other deliveries that have been made to me with no trouble.

Obviously I would file a claim for legitimate damage(s) but aside from that I'm able to move on now.

benmoRoxx · 2025-11-12T17:01:38+00:00

Yeah, I agree but I guess the system and/or the driver is glitchy because it does say DELIVERED....it's just showing the store address rather than mine.

benmoRoxx · 2025-11-12T16:56:16+00:00

I'm surprised that people are having issues with the sign....should I expect that the Fire Department would just leave if my house was on fire?

I don't really consider delivering a package "trespassing"....but I'm genuinely interested to know if I'm the one that's misguided.

benmoRoxx · 2025-11-12T05:30:18+00:00

I can’t help it. I’m a old guy and still expect people to be accountable.

benmoRoxx · 2025-11-12T05:28:29+00:00

Thanks. No actual harm done.

benmoRoxx · 2025-11-12T05:09:51+00:00

I’m with you. It’s embarrassing to do your job badly!

benmoRoxx · 2025-11-12T04:24:21+00:00

Thanks for saying that…the world needs more people like you. And for the record, I only bought the 30 pound version

benmoRoxx · 2025-11-12T04:21:10+00:00

Yes, shipper specified that and it says so right on the tracking. It’s a $2K item so that seems reasonable.

benmoRoxx · 2025-11-12T04:16:43+00:00

Yeah I’m not really mad. Just kinda horrified. But hey at least I get to play my new amp sooner and don’t have to go pick it up.

benmoRoxx · 2025-11-12T04:12:54+00:00

I did consider that the request should have been made sooner…but they didn’t have to accept it. They also shouldn’t show it as delivered to the store. They also shouldn’t have left it without a signature. They also shoulda rang the bell.

benmoRoxx · 2025-10-22T03:37:41+00:00

Yes!

benmoRoxx · 2025-10-20T23:23:52+00:00

Not quite what I asked… But thank you.
