Re: lower output p90

Modern Gibson P90's, to my ears, are pretty damn good. People have moaned about the brass plates etc...but don't realise the old ones were also brass, just plated.

Love P90's.

Re: Molestation: An Ethical Perspective.

Always yes. I’ll refret anything if it will play better. Vintage guitars need to be played. I know those little Yamaha frets. They really are tiny, in every dimension.

Re: Fake identification

https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/music-instruments/instruments/guitar-bass/electric-guitars/listing/4568867824 Anyone know what the bolt on the side of the neck is? could be a good deal if it's a real one. 70s style! Never seen that before but it makes sense from a functionality perspective ...

Re: NGD Gibson LP Jnr

I maintain that an LP Jr, set up well, is possibly the only guitar you'll ever need.

Thankfully, we all know that's rubbish.

Congrats. Really nice looking guitar. I can feel that whole thing vibrating in my hands... :shifty:

Re: Les Paul and Tele tuning stability tips?

It is a thing that some Les Pauls are just biatches for tuning...and some (my '68 RI for eg) rarely go out of tune no matter what you throw at them. But I would suggest the nut is the single biggest factor in the equation. The newer Gibson nylon nuts on historics are really good for tuning, but I wo...

Re: Return of the Gibbons shocker thread!

I have owned Custom's with Richlite and Ebony. Nothing to see or hear of concern. Any issue with it is psychological, which is fine, but the tone argument is null. You're saying tone isn't psychological? No, it’s entirely psychological. I’m saying same ears, same brain, same soul will struggle to i...

Re: HN335D

Nice one Brian! 335 neck removals can be a real biatch. Looks like there's binding botches also? All doable of course...but all time and money too.

How do the Wizz sound in there? I couldn't quite get them to work for me.
