  1. If the guitar is a lacquer finish, a few drops of matching lacquer applied by a person with appropriate skill can mask it pretty well
  2. Just for the record, we were looking for dirty overdrive and got if from the amp. The guitar came equipped with Gibson MiniHumbuckers which can drive hard when desired.
  3. I bought this Epiphone Sorrento Inspired by 1962 on Ebay several years ago. The headstock was broken off. I repaired it, and added the bigsby. Check out my friend Toby Walker playing it thru my 1962 Univox U42 amp https://youtu.be/Y-NA5q7nEl8
  4. Hi. I have a circa 1926 Gibson L0 with FON of 8386. I dont yet have a copy of Spann’s Guide to Gibson. I would appreciate it if someone could post any information about that FON batch. The guitar has mahogany neck with resin treated fingerboard, sides and flat back of birch or similar wood, and uncompensated pyramid wing style bridge. Thanks
  5. 10 years ago there would be a half dozen guitar shops within an hours drive where I could measure a few juniors. Shops almost all gone these days...
  6. Thanks. Yes I know the basic rule...sometimes there is a fudge factor...usually a hair longer...but visually notice the different angle on the compensated vs uncompensated stop wrap tailpiece.
  7. Hi. i am building a replica/clone of a vintage single cut Les Paul Junior. I am planning to use an uncompensated stop-wrap tailpiece as used on the original mid 1950’s models. There is little room for error with the intonation...only the two small set screws to adjust...so I am requesting the actual measurement from any owners of vintage or reissue models that use an uncompensated stop-wrap unit. The measurement from the 12 th fret to each stud center would be easiest to use. If anyone knows of a drawing, that also would be very helpful. Thanks.
