I have a Comet also. An oahu Tonemaster or similar will have a longer scale length. Your Comet of 22.5" vs 25".

I won't go into the IEM that is now needed to h ...

The only thing missing is a speaker cab on stage if you have a silent stage and go thru the PA. The modelers typically replace a mic'd sound...not the sensation of a D130 roaring thru your trousers.

Use your bar or similar item to check for equal heights across the strings as you file. Probably a given...but others may have better advice.

a year or two pre 80's...how about some EVH "Erruption" Very Happy

Those older folks that complain about the younger generation seem to forget it was our generation that raised them up.

The preamp is the tone controls and what you plug into.

The amp takes the preamp signal and amplifies it(makes it louder).

A Fender Twin instrument amplifier contains both...as most other makes ...

18.5" ???

Edit:... must be the length of the fretboard only. You'll need to know and provide the scale length...from nut to bridge, so the fretboard is accurately marked.

I was well into music when this came out, but my father bought this and it got regular plays on the stereo console.

Certano benders only need an inch, I believe.

For fun making Youtubes. I'm open to most anything.
No "across the room" phone audio please and video a plus.
I can create full backing tracks to just providing some 12 string strumming. ...
