75% of the size, 100% of the fun!

When people ask me which of my vintage guitars is the best I am often tempted to say this 1957 #Fender#DuoSonic. Not because it's super valuable or fancy...it's quite the opposite actually. But it's tiny and sounds great. Plus my stubby digits feel like Hendrix hands wrapped around its neck! Ever since it got a fresh set of frets by my luthier Alastair Miller last year this is one guitar I have not gone a week without playing.

Hmm...that reminds me: I need to take a couple of guitars to Alastair for repairs and setups. Maybe I'll pay him a visit tomorrow...and drop by The Twelfth Fret while I am in the area! 😎

I also totally agree on making sure the electrolytic capacitors are in good shape - this goes for any older tube amp.Listing of all original Fender guitar wiring diagrams in PDF format for Jazzmasters, Jaguars Showmasters, Toronados Cyclones and more.

FENDER 60. 6AQ5's are the same power tubes as in the Crestline-era (ca. Folders are in caps with their contents listed below them, the number indicates the number of files in the folder. They must have made tons and tons of them and then designs moved to the 6BQ5. I agree that good NOS 6AQ5 tubes can be found very inexpensively.

NOTE TO Mike Schwartzman and Dave Mudgett:the other version uses 6AQ5 power tubes - NOT EL84's (6BQ5's)!Ībsolutely - I know that, that was a typo I'm so used to typing 6BQ5, it just slid off my fingers.īoth versions sound good, but I've had several of each over the years and I found the 6AQ5 version broke up earlier. But usually the original power tubes are still in great shape and will still last for decades! I have rarely had to replace them.ġ930's/40's Rickenbacher/Rickenbacker 6&8 string lap steelsġ921 Weissenborn Style 2 Hilo&Schireson hollownecksġ959 Fender 400 9+2 B6 1960's Fender 800 3+3+2 1970 Emmons SD10 Cuttail (Courtesy ReSound '65) However, they SOUND very close to the 6V6 version - and NOS 6AQ5 tubes are usually very cheap compared to NOS 6V6's and EL84/6BQ5's! This version can often be found cheaper because owners think the tubes are obsolete. NOTE TO Mike Schwartzman and Dave Mudgett:the other version uses 6AQ5 power tubes - NOT EL84's (6BQ5's)! Many buyers make the mistake of thinking they can use their existing EL84 tubes as replacemts, but they won't even fit - it's a smaller, 7-pin socket. With fresh caps and a new speaker (the original is junk for ANY instrument) these are great amps - the 6V6 version is known as the "poor man's tweed Deluxe when loaded with a good alnico speaker (NOT a so-called reissue Jensen, which are not close to the originals) but for bass you need a high-wattage (stiffer) ceramic magnet speaker. And you often have to TELL the tech to change them, as many will only do work to make an amp "playable" to avoid sticker shock. The amp may sound fine with original capps but can blow at any moment with zero warning - and take out the power transformer (I've replaced a bunch of them - and it lowers the value of the amp)Įvery one purchased used should go straight ot a tech unless the seller has documentation of proper service. Last time I gigged mine for slide, it was honestly too loud until I turned it around to face the side wall.Įvery one I encounter needs new filter capacitors - they have a service like of only 15-20 years and most owners do not know they need to be changed at that interval. These things are great for slide guitar or lap steel. Not a clone by any means, but similar in many ways. If you look at the circuit diagram, you will see many similarities to the Harvard. I think of these more like a tweed Princeton on steroids or perhaps a poor-man's tweed Harvard, and that is a very good thing for the right situation. With its totally open-back cabinet, it's pretty weak as a bass or pedal steel amp, but it is OK for really low-volume practice. That transformer-based phase inverter gives it a different character than a blackface/silverface Princeton or Deluxe, which is nice. If you push it, it will still break up but has enough headroom to not turn to mush. I replaced the tinny original speaker with a Celestion Vintage 30 and it's a great guitar amp now. I personally prefer the 2圆V6 version and that is what I have now. I've had a few of these over the years, both 2圆BQ5/EL84 and 2圆V6 versions. Oh, I see the date, I was just out of the hospital, no wonder.

It's been a long time! It was fun to do record music again, and this felt like a fitting song. As you can tell, I am not a baritone.

More love for Fender’s short scale buddies! One-owner 1963 Musicmaster on the left, and a most unusual 1963 Duo Sonic on the right with extra saucy one-ply *brown* pickguard.

The coolest and funnest vintage guitar I own is also the least expensive...

1957 #Fender#DuoSonic 1959 #FenderPrinceton

Ever since I got this guitar refretted by Alastair Miller I have been playing it CONSTANTLY. It is especially good for Deep Purple tunes (minus Ritchie's vibrato histrionics ofc. 😉).

NEW VIDEO UP!!!

it's a very special #tinselstuesday! ever since I was fifteen and I got the itch to play and write music, every single one of my efforts has been an attempt to write "THE SONG." not just any song, but a song that cleverly encompasses a depth of emotions. happiness, sadness, longing, sweetness. these are feelings that I think music should evoke in the listener. now, I might never write this song. in fact, I'm positive I won't. but in my twelve plus years of songwriting, this is the closest I've come. what is in my opinion, the most beautiful of all my children.

this song comes from "all day parade." as you might be able to guess from the title, it's about unrequited love. it may be love for another, but most of the time, it is about the love we have for life and the disappointments when that love is not returned.

check back next week for more pretty pop songs! 💜 link to the tinsels back-catalogue in bio!

lyrics:

I saw her across the hall

Didn’t make me feel at all

Like I did that cold summer years ago

When I wondered where she went

Or if she knew how I felt

What we had and I wonder if she's glad

She’s not stuck with me

She sits silently

With her books

She won’t even take a look

She’s not stuck with me

She sighs quietly

She is waiting for the bus

And this crush is over us

I’d be lying if I do

Say I'm finally over you

And I won't say a word to anyone

There's no point in wishing

She's already with him

What we had and I wonder if she's glad

She’s not stuck with me

She sits silently

With her books

She won’t even take a look

She’s not stuck with me

She sighs quietly

She is waiting for the bus

And this crush is over us
