Muztek: Custom Sound

I managed to grab this one as well on the final day of SV Guitars Marsiling operations. Muztek might be an unknown entity in the industry but they are utilizing 2 big names in cable technology: 1) Mogami 2) Switchcraft. Mogami is one of the leading players specializing in immaculate signal transfers from instrument to the amp. Switchcraft is a durability specialist, not too enticing in looks (in fact, it looks plain) but the performance is there. Update to come :-)

The telecaster of death (no country music allowed)

Death by corrosion- this Switchcraft input jack belongs to my Fender American Standard Telecaster & recently it went dead. It's not about a superior brand name when it comes to parts deterioration; it will happen, it's a matter of time. You just need to know where to get the replacement parts that best fit your needs. So in addition to the dead pots & switches, it's off to Beez's...

Here it is, my sonic Telecaster of death is now back to life (forgive the pun). Considering it's only the second time the parts died & required replacement since 1998, I must say it's well taken care of. Oh by the way, when I bought this guitar back at Swee Lee before the turn of the century, I recall this salesperson who attended to me then said clearly, "Telecasters are for country music only." Screw that, of course. Thanks Beez, for the exceptional workmanship.
