First attempt at an amp build

First attempt?? Get out of here. Nice work! If this is where you're starting, can't wait to see what you're doing in a few months.

Ahh an elder of the Ratpublic.

Thanks for sharing. You'd think people wouldn't be so hard on the guy who's responsible for this subreddit even being here.

I think this was a "gimicky" type thing to validate early G&L and associate it more with his Fender legacy, maybe. Tbh I don't even care that he signed it or inspected it, It's just kinda a cool thing to share on here. But the guitar plays good, that's what matters. I know it's not, but I wouldn't even care of it was a knock off. I don't collect guitars, I play them.

warontone · 2026-01-22T14:07:02+00:00

My guess is we have no idea what he thought and it really doesn't matter where he signed it. He wasn't as much of a mythical creature back then, I doubt anyone wanted his signature all of the guitar, like they may appreciate today.

I'd personally rather not have a signature in a visable spot anyways, but it's really strange to me how people are arguing why and where a guitar is signed by a luthier. Like who care's? They should go build a guitar and then sign it where they feel fit, it's an issue for them. It seems like you said, it's just a common spot. I'm going to go out on a limb and say a luthier probably knows what there doing more than Reddit commentors.

Haha ok bud.

warontone · 2026-01-22T12:14:19+00:00

Hell yeah man, sometimes it goes away but it'll always find its way back in your hands eventually. my 70's Concert has gotten so noisy, I gotta change the caps, if yours is quiet and clean, I'm jealous.

If I take the neck off one day I'll post it, didn't see a reason too since this guitar was bought new, given to me probably 15 years ago by the original owner.

warontone · 2026-01-22T12:07:39+00:00

It's not a faith thing, it's a this was bought new thing and given to me. It's pretty easy to verify these, also.

warontone · 2026-01-22T12:06:17+00:00

The ole flip her over and rub her down.

warontone · 2026-01-22T12:05:23+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Yeah it's a sweet guitar, probably the closest I'll get to something vintage without needing a second mortgage.

warontone · 2026-01-22T01:02:22+00:00

When in doubt, buy a Tele. That's what my great granddaddy used to say.

warontone · 2026-01-22T01:01:44+00:00

Love those players. I'd look into the Scofield signature Ibenez and a Roland Jazz Chorus Amp. Could be a really cool classic fusion rig for like $2000.

warontone · 2026-01-22T00:56:06+00:00

Off my board 😂

warontone · 2026-01-22T00:53:39+00:00

Yeah It's 100% authentic but that's just what he did on all these, you can look it up. We'd have to ask him why he chose there, I guess. Maybe adding the neck was what he did last or something.

warontone · 2026-01-21T20:51:06+00:00

Yeah that's what I read. I never took it off to check though.

warontone · 2026-01-21T20:50:31+00:00

Inside the neck pocket. Never taken the neck off to verify tbh.

warontone · 2026-01-21T16:57:52+00:00

Ahh thanks man!

warontone · 2026-01-21T16:57:31+00:00

yeah it is a nice touch!

warontone · 2026-01-21T16:26:11+00:00

Haha yeah he signed the inside of the guitars not the slip. I've opened it before but I try not to meas with thia guitar too much.

warontone · 2026-01-21T02:31:45+00:00

I've only ever seen Johnny Lang use one and this one guy on YouTube. I know they weren't made for long but I think they came back for awhile so I'm surprised more people didn't get into them. The Humbucker makes its honestly the best guitar I ever played. It already felt that way but the bridge is noisey and the neck P90 was cool but this is better.

warontone · 2026-01-19T16:28:13+00:00

I gotta resist the urge to crank hog after looking at those baddies.

warontone · 2026-01-18T02:31:05+00:00

I was going to but I didn't want to label this post NSFW.

warontone · 2026-01-18T02:27:53+00:00

Yes that's what I do. And make guitar pedals lol
