I have a chance to grab a dead mint black TCO-1, but I don't know a thing about them. I have more than a few compressor pedals already, and even a few rack mount dbx units. Is the TCO-1 just another VCA compressor? Will it be any different from my Dyna-Comp or DOD Milkbox? Thanks in advance for...

I may be crazy :wink: but I feel like getting rid of one of my Reborn/Love Rock guitars and getting a Firebird (Tokai, of course). The Reborn I have in mind is all original and the serial number dates it from 1980. It has a '60' stamped at the last fret. I am in Canada, and I'd like to keep it...

Actually, I have one Love Rock and one Reborn. I am thinking of trying the Gibson PU's in either guitar. My local Gibson dealer has a decent sale on the PU's right now, so it is tempting. Both of my Tokai's have microphonic pickups, so I want something that will sound good and not squeal. Any...

OK; it's a long shot, but what the hey. Who knows where where I can get the micro-tilt plate for a Silver Star? An old Fender one is way to big, and short of fabricating my own (not as hard as it sounds, but I'm lazy), I am at a loss. Anyone?

I am this close to ordering a new tremolo bridge for my Silver Star, and then a crazy fear hit me. While browsing eBay (please forgive me, Lord) I noticed a few MIJ Strat bridges for auction, and the warning that the six mounting holes won't line up with Yankee-Doodle Strats :o! I never stopped...

Here is something I'd like to know; who has taken the circuit boards out of their LR's and put in 500K pots? Those 250K pots and l'il green caps look soooo cheesy, that it is tempting. And, since you can get the Gibson pots in 500K or 300K, long or short shaft, and audio or linear taper, does it...

I have now gone through three Love Rocks, whose ages range from late 1980's to late 1990's, and they all have microphonic pickups. Or do they :-?? This is only apparently in very high gain amplifiers, yet my other guitars get spared. Is this normal? Am I going to have to pot the pickups? I plan...
