    It's how I found out about Synergy long before the hype hit. Bro was already doing it well and they agreed to be smart and share instead of fight about it. Pretty ballsy to make clones of all your peers' preamps and match em up to your power section using a modular chassis in a very approachable form factor. You used to be able to buy a blank chassis to put your own preamp in so you could use it just like any other module he'd built for the platform that became Synergy we see now.

Can't tell you how many times we started to practice and someone had learned all their parts out of tune, that's when I learned to chart so at least we were all playing the same thing. Funny how much changed with such a simple device. No more 30 minute tuning sessions just to get everyone in the same key. Even the drummer started using a tuner to adjust his drums for relative tuning.

So again I said WTF. He said he didn't trust the tuner he trusts his ear more so another fight ensued. I was so happy to give up the band thing. I've only had two tuners in 40 years. That was one thing I was always careful with. I was afraid they would stop making them.

    Hey, Maestro. I don't comment much but I watch a lot! I miss hangin' at 2nd Gear, now a lost mini-era! FWIW, I think the first single cut Junior you played was the best sounding although the second had the not-so-loud thing and might have hidden charms. The best one I EVER had was a 1960 TV double cut with a big neck. Intonated stock with the treble side screw all the way out. Those old bridges had a ping and a ring to them but that was the only one I ever had that intonated stock. I have the Buk/Joe on both my 1-P-90 guitars at present. Rock on. WW

    The discussion about the originality of vintage instruments hit close to home. Back in the early 2000s, I bought a '77 fretless blank plank maple board P Bass that looked _really_ close to the same bass played by Stanley Sheldon on _Frampton Comes Alive!_ … This was purchased from a well-known guitar shop in Tokyo for a price that clearly indicated it was a 100% original instrument. Fast forward to earlier this year. I took the bass to a popular Tokyo shop to sell and they detailed all the reasons why the bass only had a verifiable '77 neck and the rest of the bass was of unknown vintage. My takeaway: Don't trust big name stores. If I ever buy a vintage instrument again -- rather unlikely at this point -- only specialist places such as Gruhn's are to be trusted. It was a very expensive lesson to learn. [Edit to add: That double cut sounded glorious. Have never owned a DC Junior and really want one. 🥰]

If I could ask George Gruhn one question, it would be this: does he know of any Martin D18s from mid-70s that were made with D45-style inlay ("hexagon" markers and the C-F-Martin vertical inlaid in headstock)? I owned one, bought it used around 1975, and it was stolen around summer '77. (The insurance money bought me a Mossman Tennessee Flattop, which I still have.) I do miss that Martin still, and have never seen or heard of another one like it. I wonder if George has?
