Default Hello from PA!

Hello all! I've had my orange 5120 for a couple of years now. Today I took the plunge and ordered my Compton Brass bridge, a TV Jones wiring harness, a TV Jones Classic for the lead and a Super'Tron for the rhythm. Should be a fun ride...

Welcome! You'll love the Compton and the TV Jones pickups. Enjoy, and keep us posted when you get them installed.

Welcome! Hola! Shhhhh! Try not to mention that you're from PA too much or the site will be over run with presidential candidates.

Welcome. I went with an aluminum Compton and two TV Jones classics on mine. It turned out to be a killer guitar. You'll love those TV Jones pickups, and you already discovered the joy of the Compton upgrade. You are in for a treat!

Welcome to the forum. I modded my 5120 with a SS Compton and HS Filtertrons. Great improvement.

Bloomsburg! Cool!
I'm originally from Williamsport! Sounds like you're working on a great set up.
