Mercury Magnetics Transformers Now Available!!

Posted on November 6, 2009 (April 3, 2017) by Billy Penn

I have been a Mercury Magnetics dealer for almost 9 years now and in my opinion these are the absolute finest transformers produced today. In every repair, restoration or custom build I have noticed a significant difference in tone, dynamics and harmonic content. You can bring an amp to life with a simple transformer change. […]

Posted on November 6, 2009 (April 3, 2017) by Billy Penn

Here is a video clip of the late great Ted Greene playing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”. I love Ted’s playing and I always find it very moving no matter what tune he’s playing. Pay attention to the way he sort of shakes the guitar neck to get a nice gentle vibrato effect. I also think […]

Rickenbacker Guitar Value Going Strong!

Posted on November 4, 2009 (April 3, 2017) by Billy Penn

According to my friend Jim Pasch over at The Parts Drawer the value of Rickenbacker guitars is going strong in this wacky economy. It seems that the marketing play that the folks over at Rickenbacker are pulling is one of supply and demand along with keeping quality high. Sounds like a good business model to […]

Here is a video clip of installing a pair of Eminence Private Jack speakers. These are akin to the greeback magnet covered British Classics.
