Guitarist plays $40 Harley Benton Strat copy every night of 113-date arena tour

According to Scott Poley of tribute act Rumours Of Fleetwood Mac, the second-hand six-string underwent only a few minor adjustments to get it stage ready, and survived a grueling tour schedule while delivering the tonal goods along the way

It felt and played like a toy.

If you're inclined to get in there with some tools I'm sure it can be improved but I wasn't bothered.

It does indeed feel a bit toy-like.

Going to change the tuners and lower the action and shim the pick-up up and try again

Good luck lad

No Battery use possible.

Personally I'm not a fan of pedals that don't use batteries. Probably because I only use 2 or 3 pedals, maybe 4 maximum, usually none. Not enough for a pedal board.

The half baked environmentalist in me means i moved everything to power supplies a few years ago - batteries are recycled for sure but only at a percentage and they invariably come with some bullshit blister package.

That's cool but looks like it would make the floor even messier.

Anything more than a tuner is tricky for me.

They are super handy to have though. I had a bunch but have some away and think I've only one now.


I used to have distortion- wah- and one other pedal,usually an octave but bought loads over the years.

The floodgates have been open for a while now though.

I have this channel switcher thing for my "at home" amp. I like what it does but find it a bit of a hassle. I'm envious of people with massive pedal boards and who use them well.

I'm finding the biggest problem is finding a pedal board. Not much choice in Ireland.

Not in desperate need yet so I'll continue my half assed browsing for the time being.

HB update. I was just over with my bro who has 3 HB guitars. I did some tinkering with them all which made them all better.
Tele: good intonation, weird matt neck, fun to play, action was crazy, I dropped it a lot.
Les Paul: very good build, very solid. Personally I didn't like it but that might be a les Paul thing
353/hollowbody thing: Again, very good build, no complaints, proper guitar.

Not sure how they sounded because I was playing through a Blackstar Fly tiny amp, which I LOVED.

Tempted to pick up another HB class D amp. Was thinking of another Block 800 but spotted this lad today. Using the Icepower module again so ya know it'll be decent and I have a nice wee selection of preamps to try with it.

Defo a you know you're getting old when I'm seriously thinking of running two wee class D amps instead of a valve amp.

You get one spine unfortunately. That thing looks nice - EQ bypass ftw.

My amps aren't too bad weight wise so it's more size for travelling and a slight concern about an amp that's well over 50 years old now.

an amp that's well over 50 years old now.

That'll be you soon enough.
