He’s close to completing a custom build for me. I’m considering traveling from northern CA to pick it up versus having it shipped. AKA
Typically Oxfords or Utahs, Jensen's were out by mid '67. I'll weigh a couple Twins w Jensen's and Oxfords when I get a minute but they should be very close.
I agree with the others - hold off until you find the real deal. I never played the SE but read enough reviews that convinced me I wouldn't be happy with it. I kept looking around and found a '22 on...
Why not live the dream? Even if it's online.. :encouragement:
The K120 and Force 12 weigh 12.8 and 14 lbs. The 1969 Fender catalog does not list the weight of a stock tube Twin. But Cream City has a '69 with EVMs listed as weighing 88 pounds. EVM 12Ls weigh...

I didn't think you were serious - should have known. :rolleyes:
I bought the steel notched straight edge with the short scale side and the long scale side. They say it will work with a 25 inch scale, and the Eastman is a 25 inch scale. But neither side fits over...
Yes, I used to compose solos, write them down, practice and play around with them, it's a very effective way to build your improvisation skills. Especially over vanilla ice cream!
Hi Ewall, I see what you're saying about the fretboard view but I think it's a trick of light. There is (what I always called) a character mark at the 4th fret, but it's never bothered me. I...
