    No. I have a Rivera Rockcrusher.
    Not sure how an in line attenuator would work unless it pugs into the loop somewhere.

    Btw. Turns out my Mesa has the 3 volume knob system and I don't even need an attenuator.

    So if anyone is looking for one, I can do $300 shipped. It was a demo from gear fest last year. Not a mark on it.

    Also have a mini rock rec. I guess it's some type on DI box/cab sim. I ordered it thinking it was an attenuator. Then ordered my rockcrusher.

    Plugged it in once. $300 shipped.

    Top of the line stuff.

    Just came in.
    Another 1984 Ibanez Roadstar II.
    This one a 430FG (forest green)
    With the original brown violin case.
    This one is a solid 8 out of 10.

    Same make, model, year and color as my highly modified 430FG that I've owned for 33 yrs.

    #7 of my "84" collection.
    I desperately need a 520 then I can start working on the colors.

    Put my Epi Les Paul up for sale on Facebook, and she went to her “forever home” last Wednesday. I gotta blame my strat for that. I love the Fender medium c neck, the belly cut, etc. I never was real comfortable with the thin, flat, glossy neck on the LP.
    Less than 24hrs after I sold the Lester, I found this awesome used 2018 player series Tele HH

    So, a blue double ‘bucker axe leaves, and a new blue one joins the herd. I love the fat, crunchy tones from the bridge pickup. And did I mention I LOVE maple fingerboards?

    Picked this up off craigslist couple weeks ago, its a Kramer Richie Sambora model, floyd has some issues cant get the low E to stay in the bridge. May send it to a local tech to free things up!
    Got a few others, my main love is a fender nocaster with a big fat neck!, prs hb2, mongrel strat with a fat neck, and a charvel so cal in slime green. Its an addiction that I (somewhat) have under control... 8)

    I've had 4 Les Pauls (3 Gibsons and an Epi). I don't think I've ever kept one for more than a year. My SGs make the same noises, weigh 50% less, and are way more ergonomic. I played one of those HH Telecasters last year and it was really nice. Only reason I didn't buy it was that I have a regular Tele already.

    Yeah, as sexy looking and great sounding as it was, we never fully bonded. The lack of balanced weight distribution, and the sharp edged slab-back (my new Tele has a belly cut) made me feel like I was wrestling it, vs playing it.

    Is that legit? Why would it have the EVH going on if it was a sambora?
    Also looks like the wrong headstock for a sambora. They had the longer, pointy, droopy ones around 87-89.
    I know they did some reissues. Seen a bunch of home mades. Also seen some cheapo from ali express.

    I think my buddy has one of the cheap ali express ones.

    It is what it is, the original owner/builder was the guy I bought it from's deceased brother who did it back in the late 80s early 90s. I figured it was a cool project if nothing less, worth what I paid for it just in parts, so its a no lose situation. Getting it set up next week, so we will see! the neck is strait and the electronics work, just gotta get the floyd fixed, fun project!!

    Got a new one sitting in the box if you decide you don't want to mess with it.
    The posts were mounted and then removed because I didn't want to route the rear of a Jackson I have.

    I'd let it go on the cheap if you're interested.

    Oooh, I have something on topic to contribute for a change. I overhauled my '88 Gibson SG for its 30th birthday.

    I still have all the original parts in a box but it's basically just the wood that's still in use.

    Pots, switch, wiring, etc. all redone, Seymour Duncan '59 Vintage Blues set, Bigsby with Vibramate so I didn't have to drill into the body, roller bridge, locking tuners, and I replaced the nut with a black one just because.

    IMG_20180305_190438522.jpg IMG_20180305_190450277.jpg
    I really need to get some daylight pics at some point. It's been hard to photograph with everything blacked out.

    It was a fun little project that made me fall in love with my first guitar all over again.

    I run slight delay into an Orange Micro Terror with a warm tube, through a Bugera PS1 to keep from waking the kids, and into a Bugera 112TS cab with a loosened-up Turbosound speaker. For me, the sound is just perfect.
