  1. Build your own I did. Warmoth body and neck, Fender hardware and SD Antiquity pups.
  2. I live just one town north of one of those areas where they rent out those houses in N. Myrtle Beach. I am not looking forward to tourist season. It hasn't started yet, but it's coming. The dreaded 19 didn't slow anything down around here, as South Cacalacians don't give a rip. They got happy hours to get to in their Golf Carts and if you think their Yeti mugs have coffee in them, will then its 80 proof coffee.
  3. That is cause Lennon did it. You should get one and do it and see what they offer you.
  4. What about for being an a-hole. I’d have an endless supply showing up at my door.
  5. I read somewhere it has to do with the 24.75” scale that Gibson Heads have to have due to tradition. Fenders are 3/4” longer and don’t do that.
  6. And when a guitar gets returned what happens to it? Does it go back to Nashville? We have had members here state that they bought “new” guitars from GC, and when the serial number was run, it was in fact a resold used/returned guitar. Pretty shady. Do any others do that without stating is was a demo/return/scratch and dent/used,ect? We hope they are honorable, and sell what they are advertising.
  7. Right, but it will be your fault if it comes back damaged.
  8. Jar-Jar the Rasta alien. WTF is wrong with the Star Wars franchise. Oh wait, they know you fans will accept any thing they put out.
  9. I’ll yell at my Alexa to play that one. I may have a digital download of it.
  10. WTF 32 CDs of Fripp. Can’t remember if I posted this. A little overkill Robert. Now back to stupid covers with your wife showing off her boobs. https://superdeluxeedition.com/news/robert-fripp-exposures-32-disc-box-set/
  11. Did you have 13's on them? This seems to be the rub.
  12. JC is rich a businessman, and we're not. He was hired to get the stock holders their money back, that's it, and what he said, or vowed to do means nothing, like a politician. He is not building the guitars he is just the CEO, and figurehead of the company. We can blame him or praise him. You can love their product or hate it. When you get a well made guitar all is well, and when you get a stinker, all is not. End of story.
  13. Here are my father in laws original Ventures albums. Some are mono.
  14. If the guitar went to CG, and then he bought it online, and GC did not open it, and they were just the middle man, cause we all know you can't buy direct from Gibson, then only one place can be blamed. But yeah we don't know what happened form the factory to the time he opening a sealed box. A helpful and friendly GC employee may have wanted to take it for a spin, and did that and then put it back in the box and re-taped and out the door it went.
  15. Rabs, EJ41 stated the guitar was taken out of a sealed box. Now anyone can open a box and re-tape it, but if it was truly sealed at the factory, and never opened until he received it, then fault can be traced back to Gibson.
  16. Nice. Good luck. Which GC's track record they are just going to sell it to someone else, and probably as a new guitar too.
  17. Hang on, let me get this straight. You left the room to do a poo, or a pee and your guitar fell over, and the headstock, I am assuming snapped off, and its Gibson's and the strings fault it happened. Is that your story, and your sticking to it or, am I interpreting the story wrong? It sucks if that is what happened, but when I flub a chord or note its my fault, not the guitar or the strings. Maybe next time lay the guitar flat on the bed or get a better stand. Yes Gibson headstocks are prone to snapping due to the 17 (I think) degree angle, but if the guitar YOU left unattended never fell. I think the head would still be on.
  18. So is his was a brand spanking new guitar, and if so it is unacceptable. Is it a GC special run? If new send it back. Only A Gibson Is Crappily QA'ed Enough.
  19. I think he is playing The Clap. He now looks like the Golem from Lord Of The Rings.
  20. No don't use lighter fluid to clean the pots and switch, use contact cleaner. I was just mentioning it is safe on nitro. Unscrew the nut that holds the pot to the body and pull the shaft through in to the cavity to spray it. Put a rag around it, so the spray only goes where you want. The can should also come with a long skinny straw thing to direct the spray where you want. Spray all 4 pots and the switch, and maybe the jack contacts too. Then turn all the pots from 0 to 10 a bunch of times and it might solve your issue.
  21. Spray the switch contacts in the cavity. It should not affect the finish there. You can also unscrew the pots and spray them inside the cavity too and it will be away form the finish. I have no idea if contact cleaner is nitro friendly not much is. But crazy as it seems lighter fluid for Zippo's lighters is.
  22. Anyone who wants to see her, she is on tour. https://www.sierraferrellmusic.com/tour
  23. I loved that Wayne Kramer solo album he did. Can't remember the name of it. The lead off track is Crack In The Universe. I need to rock some MC5. I have the one with the clock on the cover, High Time, I think its called. Is that the one with Sister Anne?
  24. I love Bills drumming. I have a few of is solo albums and the one UK album he was on, and of course the revamped King Crimson stuff from the early 80's. Saw the Beat and Three Of A Perfect Pair Tours and Bill was hitting stuff with sticks. I remember he came out on The Sheltering Sky and was playing a little wooden box called a Slit Drum. On Waiting Man, Bill and Adrian came out for about a few minute, and they both played a few stand alone electronic drums and then Tony and Mr, Fripp entered the scene. This was not the show I was at, I saw them in Berkeley, CA.
