57 Classics will work fine and while you’re in there, replace the pots, caps, jack, and switch with better stuff. You could even wire it up 50s style too. Good luck.
The case against is that it’s not how the music was really learned or played. I don’t have anything against fake books at all and most normal people only have but so much bandwidth for learning by...
The phat cat sounds like a cool idea for the Zephyr. The 57 Classic arrived today and I was thinking about putting that in the Emperor and using the underwound 57 in the Zephyr instead of the Seth...

I guess "typical" GC shoppers don't look for Super 400's!!! You guys are so lucky. I bought my L5 CES at the NYC store. Tbeltrans: I agree with you. GC recently had some Gibson 335's and a...
Since we are discussing the gig bags of noted guitarists, I thought I would provide one of my favorite stories from Steve Wallace about Ed Bickert and his gig bag: (The Madeline mentioned here is...
