  1. This nut is stock, it' s made of Corian. Best nut is made with Bone, Graph Tech TusqXL nut are very good too, I have an adjustable Graph Tech TusqXL nut on my '15 Gibson SG, very low action and many good vibrations.
  2. My 2004 Gibson SG Special Faded, previous owner waxed it with antique furniture wax, the result is close to a clear coat.
  3. I have a wide bevel black pickguard, the cream pickguard is really cool, more authentic.
  4. Here is my €piphone Casino, a great guitar, perfect to play everywere.
  5. The Volume pots can be pulled to switch to single coil but on my SG Standard the wiring is not a PCB.
  6. On my Tanlucent Ebony SG I made an assembly with those parts , they are glued at the the right height with LOCTITE 648 High Strength, Retaining Compound. LOCTITE 648 Specifications : https://www.henkel-adhesives.com/ar/en/product/retaining-compounds/loctite_6480.html#Features and Benefits0 The black anchors are large enough to be firmly inserted into the body. The result is very discret, perfect !
  7. Yes, the 5 ply wide bevel black pickguard is nice, I will try the cream pickguard with this vintage style Epiphone logo.
  8. My Casino is a standard model with cool upgrades, I installed a good quality metric ABR-1 bridge from Philadelphia Luthier Tools and a long version of the trapeze tailpiece to reduce vibrations between the tailpiece and the bridge. The result is incredible, awesome, no more bad vibrations. With the long trapeze tailpiece the feeling is better, The guitar seems more consistent, more precise much more enjoyable to play! I put a black washer and nice knobs with soft reflectors.
  9. Pelham Blue and Gold hardware is a great combo,
  10. If your Gibson have a stopbar a roller bridge is not an upgrade, prefer FABER INSert Studs + ABR-1 bridge, this setup give the same results than real ABR-1 bridge screwed into the body.
  11. The best solution for a Gibson with Vibrola or Bigsby is a low profile bridge and domed thumbwheels: https://www.crazyparts.de/bridges--tailpieces/abr-1-bridges-new/gibson-low-profile-nonwire-abr-1-nickel-set.html
  12. The pickguard #3 is cream, #4 is white , stock Casino.
  13. I don' t think, did you visit Faber USA ? https://faberusa.com/product-category/faber-bridges/
