It would not stay in tune, and he would break one or two strings every time he used it. The metal they use on the base of the strings is so cheap it could not stand the pressure of the strings and would get tiny burrs that would cut the strings. I got him an American made Fat Strat and the guitar would stay in tune longer and no more crazy string breaking.

I also just bought another, less expensive, but authentic, American made Gibson. It's called the "Melody Maker" and has a nice, "old school" sound. Eisboch |

Eisboch- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - My brother used to build a lot of Heathkit stuff when he was in high school, then went on to become an electrical engineer. We lived in western NY, got two fuzzy TV channels up in the valley. He got a shortwave Heathkit radio, put it together and it was like a window to the world to us! We used to sit in his room late at night and listen to broadcasts from all over the world. We could also get AM skip and listen to WWVA in Wheeling, WV. That was SO exotic to us! |

One of the guys I jam with loves plugging his old Peavey into it and cranking up the reverb!! Some of the old Heathkits had some well designed electronics as I recall. My first real audio amp was a kit from Lafayette Radio. *5 watt tube amp.. I ended up building two, so I could build my first "stereo". * One worked. The other just "hummed". *I never figured out what I screwed up. Long out of business now. Before that, I "built" systems using old TV chassis. *Very often it was a shocking experience.

Richard, I think you're talking about "Jay Turser" which is a seperate company that produces under license from Fender. The Turser quality is a lot better than it used to be. They make some really good knock- off's. Interesting about "name brands" like: Jay Turser Carlo Robelli J.D. Player FAIK, those are all distributor brands and there are no such designer/ luthier-like people associated with the product names. Now the cheap J. Reynolds brands. I Do know J. Reynolds. He worked for Samuel Music/ Midco Int'l, in Effingham IL. for years. Midco Int'l owns the Lotus Brand, was partners with Washburn for a while, Owns the Arbor trademark, was the sole distributor of Hohner harmonicas in the US, also introduced Yamaha band instruments back in the late 60's etc. For a small office in a small mid-west town, they had warehouses all across the US. Reynolds just retired about 5 years ago after about 30+ years of service, Dean Samuelthe owner, had Midco produce a guitar in his honor. It's an inexpensive "Strat" copy, but plays pretty well. cool, eh? |

A bunch of guys have bought very cheap guitars, done a new pickup and such, and seem to be very pleased with the quality of the body's necks and such. Lot's of good info in that thread, you can buy a licenced or not, made in china or mexico, drop in a set of pickups, and love it. |

It's kind of hard to tear up an old peavey. i won't say their bullet proof, but close to it. you might check the plug-in and see if it's properly grounded to the outlet. does it have a reverse polarity switch? probably not. It sounds to me like itls in the connections and ground. also you could have a torn speaker cone. Interesting that before Richie Blackmore started playing with Deep Purple, he couldn't afford a "Good amp" with effects, so he took a razor blade and cut slices in the speaker so he could get that "fuzz" tone. Evidently it worked for him. |

Evidently it worked for him. How do I clean the "pots" how do I identify them? It does have a polarity switch and low and high gain inputs too. I am not sure if my pickups are considered "hot", they are SD Pearly Gates. I cleaned a bunch of the connections and can get a relatively clean sound in solo, but as soon as I hit a chord, it really roughs up. Any help would be apprecialted. |

Any help would be apprecialted.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Turn down the gain? I'm sure you also tried the low side imput . It's possible that your pickup[s] are too high/close to the strings as well, and getting a harsh or too tight of an electrical field. (just a thought) Well, not looking at the amp I can't say much. but... Plug it in, and flip the polarity switch, and see if the hum is reduced. If not, then scratch that idea. your pickups shouldn't have anything to do with what you're describing, Scott. the pots (volume, tone, effects etc.) should be accessable and there would or I'll say " should" be like a pin hole or some say a vent hole on them, and usually a slight squirt of siliconized electric contact cleaner in them should take care of cleaning and lubricating them. Outside of any of that, I'[m pretty well clueles. you might check the guys at alt.guitar, alt.guitar.amps or even alt.audio.pro I'm sure there's those a lot better than I that could help. |
