I just stumbled across this old guitargeek.com forum thread asking for the best garage punk & primitive rock 'n roll rig. Being interested in guitar gear old and new I thought I would repost here and see if anyone wants to weigh in.

get a silvertone twin twelve
a teisco or some other cheap japanese guitar
and maybe a maestro fuzztone

Very cool. A friend of mine has a Epi Dot and it sounds great. I've been tempted to get one of those Berhinger VIntage Distortions. Supposedly they're okay Big Muff clones. I'm not sure if a Big Muff is really something I want so I'm thinking that might be a good option just to try out. Speaking of guitar parts, does anyone a good source for Harmony parts? I need to get some new tuners for an old Harmony Bobkat. I'd like to keep the look of the old ones. SCxMS said:

I play a Epiphone Dot Deluxxe with a Bigsby added through a Bessinger Blues Overdrive through a Fender Blues Deluxe. It gets great sound, not too sure haow it stacks up for a total '50's feel, but it cranks.

I would send them an email to see if they're open or not. There's an amazing amount of parts there for hofner's. Pat said:

Speaking of garage guitar, i have a hofner colorama to rebuild, does anyone have some hofner parts to sell/trade ?

I need a Colorama scratch plate, one pick up version 1 and a Hofner Diamond Top Six String Pick Up ... I don't really know how to stick the vinyl surface on the guitar body, it seems hard to do right for non-professional.
This sites seems to provide hofner parts but i never try to order (the site looks old) : http://www.projectguitarparts.co.uk

Apparently Hofner still makes that model. I don't know if that helps or not. http://www.hofner.com/gab/en/phpshop/43/page,shop.product_details/flypage,shop.zupf_flypage/product_id,51/category_id,100/ That Hofner Club looks pretty cool too. I wouldn't mind having one.
