All pull. Jerry is arguably the person that invented the all pull system.

I don’t have much to add other than the JBL D/K Speakers sound much different than the Franklin speaker. The Franklin speaker sounds more like the E-series that came later. I personally would not co ...

The knife edge holds them on. Return springs keep them mostly in place. Sometimes you have to pull them up a tad if you bump them. No big deal.

I highly prefer the LTD. It’s not as boomy. For my money an LTD in a chair is perfect.

The old Blanton ones. I’ve even used them on an Emmons in a pinch.

I need to check that out!

We can go ahead and close this. Sold locally.

Emmons single coils about 12-14k
Second choice BL 605’s. They are super hard to find.

. Sold locally.

I totally get it. The perfect guitar for you will pop up soon! Good luck buddy.

I’m a little late to the ball game, but it is the one piece of equipment I own that faithfully works day in and day out. It’s very versatile. You can adjust almost everything. It doesn’t color y ...

Although I prefer the original, the Weber California is the closest one I have come in contact with.
I’ve tried tons of the neo offerings, I just can’t get what I like out of those.

I just listed I wood neck. It has the wide pedals, but the narrow spacing.

1974ish Bolt-on/Wood Neck P/P
8X5. Standard Emmons setup.

Works like it should. Sounds great! Just thinning the herd a little bit. I have a new guitar on the way, or I’d hold onto it.

Nathan just lives down the road in Austin. We are pretty good friends. That green guitar is certainly Dave Biller‘s old one. That’s what turned me onto the wood neck push pulls.

This one was a Jerry Roller and Bryan Adams piece of work. Great playing and sounding guitar.

Johnny, are you saying you have a 15" JBL in a Vibrosonic? I think that is what Dicky Overbey used. How does it sound compared to the stock 12" speakers?

To me they are brighter and clearer. John Hughey was a big fan until he switched to LeGrandes, etc.

I’ve got one that sounds like a Million Bucks.

I’d try to play several and buy the one that speaks to you. That said, I naturally have some opinions.

I had a guy bring me his GFI for a pickup change with the same complaint.

Sometimes I have to turn my amp way up and try not to get in the pedal too hard as well. Maybe try that?

I pick the strings way harder than I need to so I’ve had the same issue. As others have said, lower the pickups. I also use the #2 input on my Ltd. it sounds better and pads the signal as well.

Convience is one thing, but I have spent a lot of trial and error and money over many years trying to find an amp that gives me the sound I want, including speaker selection. This is how I get "m ...
