I have about $1100 to spice up my rig. I currently have a ‘62 reissue Strat. Pedal board is Klon clone, Spaghetti Western Fuzz, Surfy Bear Compact and Boss TR-2 into a Supro amp. What should i get? —Social Media |

Lessons? What model Supro are you using? Maybe a speaker upgrade? Seriously though, it sounds like you've got a cool rig running right now. Plug in, turn up and go! —-- |

it’s a Supro 1600 Supreme and it sounds really good as is. I am happy with it. I was contemplating a second amp or electric. —Social Media |

I recently bought a Squier CV Jaguar which is surprisingly good. I replace the trem’ with an American Vintage unit, and would recommend that mod. Beyond that, I recommend the Surfy Industries Blossom Point at the end of any effects chain. I pretty much don’t play a note that doesn’t pass through a Blossom Point. —The artist formerly known as: Synchro When Surf Guitar is outlawed only outlaws will play Surf Guitar. |

I have both a lap steel and a Bass VI. Ironically, my Bass VI is taken apart, at the moment, awaiting a new pickguard. I’m also considering swapping out the MIJ tremolo for an AV, and I’ve ordered a StayTrem bridge. It is an ultra cool instrument, but I don’t play it all that often. A few years back, I did a recording of Secret Agent Man where I doubled the guitar part on the Bass VI, for the last verse. That was pretty cool. I’ve owned three Jaguars, and have ordered Warmoth parts to build another Jag’, but that CV Squier may be hard to beat. The stock pickups sound great, and since I’ve started using the Strangle Switch, it’s opened up a lot of options. —The artist formerly known as: Synchro When Surf Guitar is outlawed only outlaws will play Surf Guitar. |

I bought a Guyatone Lap Steel for just under $500. I still have about $600 if I want a Bass VI. Or possibly a Doheny. Also was thinking of a Surfybear metal but the compact I have works great for me. —Social Media |

Sounds like you’re leaning towards the Doheny. Not a bad choice. —The artist formerly known as: Synchro When Surf Guitar is outlawed only outlaws will play Surf Guitar. |

Yeah. The lap steel didn’t pan out. So I think Doheny is the one —Social Media |

No direct experience, but I know that some nice instruments come out of an Indonesia, these days. The Squier CV Jag’ I just bought is Indonesian, and other than the tremolo being a bit wonky (since replaced with an AV trem’) it’s an excellent guitar. I have $2,000 worth of parts on order to Cusom build a Jaguar partscaster, and only hope it turns out as good as this bargain basement Squier. —The artist formerly known as: Synchro When Surf Guitar is outlawed only outlaws will play Surf Guitar. |

Hey, if you move to Englewood, you could afford even more guitar toys. I actually worked construction on Highlands Ranch, in a much earlier phase of my life. I’ve visited a friend there, many times and know the area quite well. I used to work for IREA, so I have a map of Douglas and Kiowa counties etched into my brain. One thing I like about Highlands Ranch is that it seems somewhat isolated from the crowded nature of metro Denver, or for that matter, the crowded nature of Castle Rock. —The artist formerly known as: Synchro When Surf Guitar is outlawed only outlaws will play Surf Guitar. |
