I got the following email from a channel viewer:
Hey Brad,
So at about the middle or near the end of October, I got an E-mail from Boaz. He told me that the Kickstarter guitar
was ready to ship to me because I was one of the earlier pledges. The thing is, he didn't seem to have any of my personal
info I had to fill out on Kickstarter. I sent him back all that along with what pickups I wanted, got a reply that it was shipping
a couple days later and that was that.
About a week later I got a notification from FedEx that the box was on hold indefinitely at an airport in Israel. This was, of course,
right after the war started up over there.
A few days later Israel released my guitar, (Prisoner swap?)
A couple weeks later I received it after it zig-zagged, for some unknown reason, across America. (I'm in Wisconsin)
Well, I didn't open the box straight-away. Rather, the package fit nicely behind my couch when I walked it into the house, so there

This is a video response to Tone Priest's question about modding a Hiwatt clone build. If you are a paid member here on Locals and have tech or other questions, I'll be happy to give you a similar video response when I get time! Thanks so much for all your continued support.
This was the full jam session on the Gibson L1 I did recently. As you probably know, I usually will jam for a while on something and then pick a few highlights to show in a final video. A ton of stuff got edited out. It's not all great, but it's not all bad either. I find it kind of soothing, this quiet acoustic stuff. I'm never sure where the mood will take me.
I made this quick video the other day for a friend and figured I'd post it here as well. He wants to get started in slide, so I was quickly showing him some open tuning concepts to make the transition to slide a bit easier. Kind of like learning slide without a slide.
This is probably the most overlooked aspect of your guitar tone hiding right under your nose.
What's going on here, fellas? On both these schematics the OT plates get B+ DC like normal through a bridge rectifier but check out how the screens and all the preamp tubes are getting juice. There appears to be a second tap off the secondary of the PT which goes through a choke, has a couple filter caps than straight in. How is this getting rectified???
