Can you wait or are you aching to mouse ?

Anyone need anything from Mouser?

Yo. I need some stuff from there but not enough to qualify for free shipping. If anyone needs anything we could join forces and hopefully not pay shipping.

Talk at me. Tell me your desires.

Re: Forums have been slow, how about a 'In the mail' thread?

Got an MIJ Greco EW on the way from Japan. Interesting little thing. Les Paul scale and woods, shaped like a PRS (ish), bolt on neck with threaded inserts as standard, yet has a trem. Since I got my Charvel I've really enjoyed little flutters for the end of arpeggios so this seems like a good thing,...

I guess that would be me 👋
I didn't know you were lefty. That's cool.

Re: Cable recommendations

Mogami w2524 and Neutrik NP2X is what I've used for ages and ages after I made a bunch of them after my planet waves died (and can't be repaired easily). Turns out their lifetime warranty didn't migrate when Daddario bought them out and instead became a 2 yr warranty. The Mogami stuff is world class...

Re: NGD: restored 1985 Canora Les Paul

What a freaky design concept. Seems almost more difficult than the original LP concept. well done on the resto. The neck is 3 pieces too. The headstock, heel, and main neck shaft are all different pieces. It's much louder than my other electrics when unplugged, and very balanced sounding when plugg...

NGD: restored 1985 Canora Les Paul

Who? Canora. They were a shot-lived 'brand' in the mid-80s started by a music distributor in Canada. Canora is a town in Saskatchewan. They were made by Cortek in Korea. This exact same guitar was sold as the Hohner L59 and also the Cort GE27. If you ordered enough you could put your own logo up the...

It's not about the sound, it's about the feel of the strings.

Re: What’s this Strat worth?

1300 if it's in great shape. Less than that if not.

They're decent guitars but not all that for the money. You could get a new FGN Strat for around the same and those are classy things.

Re: Gold Hardware restoring ?

Has anyone restored the oxidized gold hardware on a guitar. Actually I do not think oxidized is right as gold does not tarnish or oxidize ? here examples are attached. Interesting approach to stringing. Tell me more. Top wrapping. It eliminates/diminishes the break angle at the bridge making the st...
