    Eric Clapton’s 57 Tweed Twin 5E8A

    The low powered Twin, 5E8, had two power tubes and two rectifier tubes. When Fender went to the 5F8 Twin, they changed to a single rectifier and 4 output tubes.

    Quick Change Pickup Wiring Solution?

    EMG has been doing this for quite a few years. Dimarzio and Seymour Duncan offer solderless connectors on their pickups. On some of their guitars, Gibson has been using pcbs and connectors on their pickups for a few years. They all probably use a different connector on the pickups. I'm not sure...

    Electric 12-string thoughts?

    Years ago, I converted a Warmoth Tele into a 12 string. I don't play it much. A friend that i worked with once said that you didn't need to own a 12 string because you probably know someone that owns one and they're not playing it, so you can probably borrow it until they decide they want it back.
