Built from 1953-55, the Wide-Panel Princeton was short-lived, yet in that brief time had 5B2, 5C2, and 5D2 iterations with earlier versions using octal preamp tube, and the latter using a 12AX7. Though both the tweed Princeton and the Champ were single-ended (single power tube) amps, the mighty Princeton throughout the 50s in most years had a bigger speaker, larger cabinet, and the addition of a tone control. For fun, we go all the way back to the first year of the amps production, 1946, and take the amp from it's woody birth, up through TV-front, wide-panel, and narrow-panel versions.Follow me on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/askzac/To Support the Channel:Patreon  https://www.patreon.com/AskZacTip jar:  https://paypal.me/AskZacVenmo @AskZac Or check out my store for merch  - https://my-store-be0243.creator-spring.com/1957 Fender Esquire with a 1954 neck pickup, and original bridge pickup.

It's just over a week since the Leafs lost Game 7 to the Boston Bruins.  A very familiar outcome, and we knew there would be a lot of news coming out of this playoff exit and so here we are with an extra episode! In this bonus Third Period instalment, we welcome back LTL Insider Mike Augello to discuss the Leafs latest playoff exit, and the fallout, as we head into another early off-season. We get his thoughts on everything from the end of season player comments, including Mitch Marner's remarks, to an analysis of Sheldon Keefe's firing as head coach, as well as debate potential replacements. The conversation then shifts to the Maple Leafs' post season media availability featuring Keith Pelley, Brendan Shanahan, and Brad Treliving, and together we wonder whether changes are finally coming to the team, and we look at the possibility of trading one of the core and whether its time for a new captain. One things for sure, MLSE has got to get the coaching decision right! We wrap up our chat with Mike by getting his thoughts on the the remaining NHL playoff series and who he is watching, as well as get his final Stanley Cup picks. While there is lots of apprehension here in Leaf Land, there is still a Toronto hockey club having great success in the Playoffs. Yes, the PWHL playoffs are still ongoing and Toronto has a chance to head to the final! We're so excited to see what a TO PWHL title will bring to the city! One final personal note, we mentioned during our show that we were invited on CBC radio this past week to discuss Keefe's dismissal and give our post playoff reaction. It was a great experience that would never have come our way without our listeners, and we thank you for helping make us a source for Leafs content! The interview can be found in our show notes. Another reminder that we'll be moving back to our regular schedule, and heading back to the patio soon, where we'll be chilling and bringing you Leafs news all summer long. This could be a busy time for Leafs' Fans and we'll be here to keep the conversation going throughout the off-season. Go Leafs Go! Takeaways The Toronto Maple Leafs' playoff exit and the fallout from the loss The PWHL playoffs and the success of the Toronto hockey team Player comments from end of season interviews and Mitch Marner's remarks Analysis of Sheldon Keefe's firing as head coach and speculation on potential replacements Changes are expected to happen to the Toronto Maple Leafs team based on the recent press conference held by the management. There is speculation about trading certain players, but it is acknowledged that it will be challenging to find suitable trades. The hosts express skepticism about the management's ability to make the necessary changes and emphasize the importance of getting the coaching decision right. The hosts discuss their preferences for which teams they want to see win the Stanley Cup in the ongoing NHL playoffs.

There are few figures in the UTSA community who have been around the program for as long as marching band director Ron Ellis. The architect of the Spirit of San Antonio, "E"'s fingerprints are all over not just UTSA's game day experience in athletics, but also the entire student-life culture across the university. We sat down with E to learn about his journey to UTSA, building a marching band from scratch, and life inside of SOSA. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Fender supplied the Playboys with amps and steel guitars but he wanted badly to get his new Spanish guitar, the Broadcaster, in their guitarist's hands. Unfortunately, Eldon had no interest in the plank with strings and politely passed on the offer. A few short years later, Leo was still bent on converting Shamblin, so he had his crew build a one-of-a-kind gold Stratocaster in the summer of 1954, and gifted it to the Playboy guitarist during one of their regular visits to the Fender factory. Eldon at first refused the golden solid body, but Leo convinced him to take it with him and try it on the bandstand. Shamblin soon dropped his hollow-body Gibson and became a lifelong Stratocaster player, using them until his passing on August 4th, 1998. Today we take a look at Eldon Shamblin's importance as a guitarist and arranger for Bob Wills & The Texas Playboys, and the fantastically rare and beautiful golden 1954 Stratocaster that Leo Fender gave him. Photos and video on my sitewww.askzac.com/post/eldon-shamblins-1954-gold-stratocasterPlaylisthttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/1efYMv1CjoK8jpJp7sqS55?si=77fd65af7a7b4568Gear used:2023 Headstrong Lil' King with 12" Eminence GA-SC64 speakerhttps://headstrongamps.com/lil-king-amp1955 Stratocaster built by my old college buddy, B.

Released in December of 2000, it could cover the standard TS-type tones, yet also be the finest transparent overdrive due to its ability to mix one's dry signal back in. The ability to mix one's clean signal along with a Tube Screamer circuit allows for in James Santiago's words, "jangly highs, tight lows, and the overdriven midrange from the TS circuit."  Today we revisit this classic effect and also get the full story of its creation from the guys who birthed it, Josh Fiden, Voodoo Lab Founder & CEO, and former Voodoo Lab VP, now UA Senior Product Designer, James Santiago.

We often speak with FOX clinicians on the Live Better Longer podcast, but on this week's episode we get to hear things from a patient's perspective: What led them to FOX Rehabilitation? How have they benefitted from therapy? How soon did they notice results? FOX's Jackie Loeshelle, PT, DPT, suggested that we chat with her former patient, Ron Ellis. At 87 years old, Ron lives in New York City and has received both physical and occupational therapy from FOX. As the conversation unfolds, we also find out more about Ron's life and discover that not only did he work for NASA on a moon mission, but later got into filmmaking and actually won an Oscar at the 1980 Academy Awards.

In 1990 this usually meant a stereo chorus splitting the signal. An unwanted side-effect was that I found that my noise floor went way up, and sometimes, with certain pairings of amps, it seemed like my sound got smaller instead of bigger. It was not until almost two decades later, in 2002, I learned about the grounding and phase issues that have to be dealt with when running two amps simultaneously. Here, I show how to overcome these issues with an easy-to-find signal splitter that incorporates phase reversal controls, and safe ground lifting using an isolation transformer.Full episode on Youtubehttps://youtu.be/FZ__DCGIwDIAmazon link to Lehle P-Split IIIhttps://amzn.to/3MVoVU1Book Nook Link - The Fender Archives, by Tom Wheelerhttps://amzn.to/42fyZfiThe Stratocaster Chronicles, by Tom Wheelerhttps://amzn.to/3WANkBEGear used:1982 Kubicki body, 2022 Danocaster Neck, Glaser Convertible Bender, 80s Duncan middle, Ron Ellis 50/60 Tele pickup set. NYXL 9.5-44 Stringshttps://amzn.to/3qbGGpp1965 Deluxe Reverb with 12" Eminence GA-SC64 speakerLink to 12" Eminence GA-SC64 speakerhttps://amzn.to/427wpYr2023 Headstrong Lil' King with 12" Eminence GA-SC64 speakerhttps://headstrongamps.com/lil-king-ampEffects used:1981 TC Chorus Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay Truetone CS6 power supply  https://amzn.to/3WAMd4R#askzac #princetonreverb  #telecasterSupport the show

I want to love them, but I hate the way most of them sound really small when dialed in clean with a Telecaster's bridge pickup. And as much as I love my old 1965 Deluxe Reverb amp, there are many times when I wish I had an amp that would hit the sweet spot at a lower volume, and be a bit easier to tote around. Earlier this year, I was at JD Simo's studio, and he encouraged me to play through his Headstrong Lil' King. I was blown away and ordered one the next day. It arrived a couple of weeks later, handbuilt by Wayne, and it was no less stellar than Simo's amp. I took the amp on a gig 2-days later, and I kept looking back at it during the gig. I played at least half the time on the bridge pickup with a cleaner tone, and the Lil' King produced wonderfully fat tones.

In the accompanying photo, he was captured holding a number of Roy Nichols-era Haggard albums, and cradling a number of vintage Telecasters, including a blackguard. In the article, Redd promoted his new "Telewacker" album and professed his love for Nichols, and I knew that this was the man that was going to bring the Telecaster sound back to the Hag's lead guitar spot. As much as I had loved the 1980s-era Roy and later Clint Strong with their Les Paul and Peavey Session 400 rigs, I had longed to hear the tunes played with a Tele and a JBL-equipped Fender amp. I soon learned that Haggard was playing nearby and I immediately bought a ticket to see Merle and the Strangers for their show on September 4th, 1998, in Corpus Christi, Texas. For the entire show, Redd was on-fire, as he paid homage to his predecessors, yet put his spin on the guitar parts to Merle's incredible catalog of hits. It was one of the best shows I have ever heard.Today we look at Redd Volkaert and his huge influence on Telecaster players over the last 30 years.

It protected the bridge & pickup assembly from corrosion, it shielded it to help with noise, and it was an ornamental hand rest that made his guitar look more professional. Early players kept them on, but by even the mid-50s, players were taking them off to palm mute for chugga-chugga rhythms or swampy low-string licks. It soon became known as the ashtray, and Leo's functional and decorative cover was used by smokers who set them on their amps and knocked out the contents at the end of the night. Soon, most players retired them permanently to their case or lost them altogether. The lone exception to this was Iceman, Albert Collins, who not only kept his cover in place but decorated it with eye-catching reflective tape. Today we dive deep, into the story of Leo Fender's Telecaster bridge cover.Gear Used:1957 Fender Esquire with a 1954 neck pickup, and original bridge pickup.

The speaker was mainly used in public address (PA) systems until 1953 when Bob Crooks decided to spare no expense with his new Standel line of guitar amps, and factory install D-130's in them. Standel became the Dumble of the early 50s with their innovative cabinet and circuit designs, and also due to their use of a speaker that could produce a much clearer and louder tone than the less expensive pressed frame speakers being produced by Jensen and others. Stars from Chet Atkins to Speedy West began using Standel models over Fender, and the boys in Fullerton began to take note. Leo Fender, whose goal was always to make a great instrument at a more pocketbook-friendly price, continued to use lower-cost Jensen units until he finally relented in late 1959, producing the Vibrasonic amp, which was his first factory-equipped model with a JBL and the first Fender with Tolex covering and forward facing controls.  In today's episode, we will look at some of the myths about them concerning brightness, the actual weight of the popular alnico magnet D120F & K120 models, and the differences between cast frame and pressed from speakers. Also, we will discuss the polarity issue and the frame thickness of the later D120F and K120 models that can require modifications to be utilized in some amps.    A short list of guitarists that have used JBL speakers during important phases of their careers would include, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, Albert Lee, Albert Collins, James Burton, Jerry Garcia, Roy Nichols, Duane Allman, Chet Atkins, Dickie Betts, Vince Gill, Mick Taylor, Keith Richards, Jesse Ed Davis, and Eric Johnson.Gear Used:1957 Fender Esquire with a 1954 neck pickup, and original bridge pickup.

The purchase was to replace my 52 reissue Telecaster that had just been stolen. I thought the single-bound body was cool, but the ebony fretboard neck was not my cup of tea. At $350, it was all I could afford at the time, and I knew I could hot-rod it when I had more discretionary funds. Over the last 25-years, the guitar has had 7 different necks, 2 different B-bender systems, set up as everything from an Esquire to having a mini-humbucker in the neck, and had a wide variety of wiring harnesses. In today's episode, I show its latest incarnation with a new Danocaster neck, based on the one on my 57 Esquire, an 80s Seymour Duncan Hot Strat Stack middle pickup, new Glaser convertible bender, Ron Ellis 50/60 neck and bridge pickups, and Joe Glaser's new 3-pickup wiring with a middle pickup blend control.

Some simply used their guitars as portable billboards, like a young BB King, who had his name along with the radio station he played at emblazoned on the top of his guitar. Others just wanted to make sure the audience knew who the hot cat was on guitar. While this has come and gone as far as being the in-style thing to do for the average player, it has always been a part of the showmanship of guitarists. Look at guitar heroes, Stevie Ray Vaughan or Eddie Van Halen. We rarely saw either of them without a guitar branded with "SRV" or "5150" in plain view. In this episode, I give the inspiration behind my personalized pickguard, and how I got help from some artist friends in creating it. The wonderful thing about doing this is that it is fun, and if you grow tired of it, you can easily remove it, and go back to the plain old plastic pickguard you had before.Gear Used:1957 Fender Esquire with an added vintage neck pickup.

He was a major influence in both style and tone on Steve Cropper, Reggie Young, and Chips Moman. Clarence was an African-American guitarist who worked with bandleader, Ben Branch, and from there influenced the younger players that saw him live, or watched him in the studio on early Stax, American, and Hi/Royal sessions. Nelson also toured with both James Carr and William Bell in the 60s and 70s. He should be credited as an early adopter of the Telecaster in Memphis, and how he paved the way for others with his funky low string licks, and stuttering bends.
