Here I am
rockin' out with my first Les Paul, a 1978 Standard in tobacco burst with
gold hardware |
 |
JCM 800 2203
100w Master Volume half-stack. GONE but not forgotten... |
 |
JCM800 guts
(note board-mounted pots and jacks - and lots of empty space!) |
 |
Old PCBoard and
new Eyelet board for 1959LTD |

 |
Cloth-covered
wires of the 1968 Superlead output transformer that I installed in my
1959LTD |
 |
Strangely, the
rubber feet on the 1959LTD reissue are not tall enough to clear the top
handles on the speaker cab. I added a washer under each foot. |
 |
My custom
bridging jumper (see next pic), made from about two inches of George L's
cable with angle ends. Can be left in when transporting the amp. |
 |
|
 |
1960AV
(according to the sticker on the jack plate) or 1985AV (according to a
sticker inside) 4x12 speaker cab, matching the 1959LTD head. Note
top leather handles, stock, and side handles, added by me (see next pic).
The left two stock Vintage 30 speakers have been replaced with a pair of
'70s G12H30 blackbacks. |
 |
Side handle
cutouts. I would never do this to a vintage cab, but it does make it
a lot easier to transport. |
 |
Stereo jack
plate, same as found on JCM900, JCM2000, etc. |

When you see
this, you can be pretty sure the electronics have not been touched since
the guitar left the factory in 1956. |
 |
My standard
live rig. The JTM45, via Hot Plate, feeds the stereo cab's right two
speakers for my main rhythm tone. The purple 1959LTD feeds the left
two, being added via my Router footswitch for a true volume boost for
solos. Sometimes I switch it so that the LTD is my main tone and the
JTM45 is added for solos. |
