anyone have any info on this silicone heating blanket? its 40 bucks less than the big guys http://zoeguitars.com/id1.html

thanks, i was under the impression that these blankets were all the same. i dont want a cheap one. i just didnt want to spend more just for the sake of someone elses profit

I've been using one of the Zoe blankets for over a year and it performs quite well, and consistantly. Before that, from 05 to 09, I used 3ea. 200 watt light bulbs. I think John's are probably the best price for the high quality blankets though.

There are differences between heating blankets- some are more 'heavy duty' than others. This was pointed out to me (by Todd and others) in a recent discussion here.
For heavy-duty blanket and great support, I'd go to John Hall.
For cheap, try:http://www.omega.com/ppt/pptsc.asp?ref=SRFR_SRFG&Nav=heam01 - I haven't used 'em but they were mentioned by another OLF'er.
I'd hesitate buying from a vendor that doesn't know the difference between 'Silicon' and 'Silicone', but that's just me.
Bill Hodge's experience is a good recommendation.

Cheers
John
