Does the Broughton do both?, plan on getting the HPF.

It only has the HPF and it is absolutely tiny. It looks like an outstanding tool. I really like they way their Germanium fuzz sounds in the clip. They have a silicon fuzz, too, but it doesn't sound quite as good to my ears. Not that anybody would ever hear the difference when you are playing live. Or doing the Fuzz Bow thing. That will be this evening's experiment. Point being that those look like high quality tools for making your sound work like it should.

Reading back through this thread, I've come to the realization that you people are completely bonkers and demented.

That's two thumbs up as far as I'm concerned.

How far did you get? There will be a knowledge test.

Ah, the test. That has replaced the initiation ritual.

Three thumbs up from me!

If you're going to ask me the air-speed of an unladen swallow, I hope you specify if it's an African or European swallow.

Oh crap, you're one of those....

 

[dukeorock]

European swallow.

Ehem

 

[kat888]

Ehem

Now yah see ... I saw that piece of low hanging fruit dangling there right before my eyes and I thought to myself, shall I snatch it, or is it likely to be full of fruitfly larvae and otherwise just a bit nasty?

So I just walked on by, whistling a jaunty tune.

 

[JJR58]

Ehem

Atta boy!!!

The horror! The horror!

I have a very hard time picturing you ‘whistling a jaunty tune.’

Ok, just a question of taste; What do you think of the Open-gear "Clover" tuners on the Epiphone Vintage Pro?
Are those really a “faithful replica of early-'60s Thunderbirds”?
Me, I think they look out of place.

You're right, it was a mournful dirge.

1964 Thunderbird II for comparison.

IMO, the clover tuners look just fine on my Epi Vintage PRO. They don't detract from the look at all.

I have no idea what tuners were used on the original '63 T-birds. In 1963 I was too busy being potty trained to be worrying about tuners on a T-bird.

The Gotoh GBR640 are a replacement if you want the all out vintage look.

I dunno, he seems to enjoy it here, and he’s Canadian! I think he’d be a good guinea pig for that new initiation ritual we’ve all been fabricating.

It’ll be more of the Thunderbird variety.

If the initiation ritual involves a snowball fight you're all in trouble . . .
