i added a 330/12 to my collection then subtracted it. my electric 12-string:

hello, and thanks for reading. i searched an found no help, hence the post. i'm trying to get to the toggle switch on my 4003 to clean and lubricate it. i just did so on my 360 and 381 without a hitch. however, on the 4003, i cannot remove the pickguard after loosening all the screws. it seems to be...

i gave up and sold mine . . .

3-8-1

both purchased in 2010; i'm original owner; both in pristine condition, never leave the house.

i wouldn't think so, but both my 360 and 381 aren't working on the neck pups. i flip the switches and hear scratchiness. none of my other guitars with toggles, gibson, carvin, heritage, has this issue. irritating, it is . . . tempted to change out the switches. anyone else experiencing this problem?...

what a lovely instrument! good on ya!

my recent purchase of a 330/12 piqued my curiousity and then interest in vox amps. an extended session of internet searching proved really enlightening as to why voxes have their unique sound. simple tone stack, no negative feedback, etc. whatever all that technobabble means . . . now, i want one! :...

I dunno, but IMHO, it's very hard to make a Fender sound like a Vox. Thanks, buddydog. That's the insight I was looking for. Thinking about having a small "Vox clone" custom built, now. Obviously, I have no experience with Vox amps. They sure get good ink from a lot of people. Regards, el...
