Nice stories jdgm! I just trade my brand new Fender 75th Strat US for a Surh Class S Vintage (no extra cost). I hope I won’t regret it 😉

I finally went the safe way indeed. I ordered a new one and I will upgrade or send it back in case I’m not satisfied. Thanks

I can’t try it indeed 😞

Thank you very much evans. I guess this is subtile enough for me not to really care and buy a brand new guitar.

Hello Gibson lovers! I remember that my parents opened a bank account when I was a kid and with all the saving I was supposed to pass my driver licence. I decided to spend all the money on a Gibson Les Paul Standard instead. Unfortunately I had to sell it few years later because I needed the money for something else. This was a huge mistake and I regret this guitar every single day. Anyway, now I'm grown up and I bought a ES-339 last year to confort me and I'm about to buy a second Gibson. Happy to join the club! Cheers.

Hello all! I'm new here but I bought my first Gibson 30 years ago 🙂 ! Happy to join the community. I would like to buy a LP Special P90 TV Yellow and I found a second hand guitar that has been modified with the following changes: - 50s wiring - Russian PIO capacitors (NOS) - P90 Engine Pickups 9,6K on the bridge side (the original one is supplied) (it is a hand made pickup that I didn't find any information about) The guitar is in perfect condition and the seller seems to have choosen this one among many others for its light weight (7.05 pounds). Since I know NOTHING about electronics I would like to have your opinion on the modifications made on this guitar. I have to admit that the light weight is appealing. Is 7.05 pounds really on the light side? What is the average weight for this model? What about the 50s wiring (he told me that it brings sound clarity when the volume knob is turned down)? Does it add any value? What about the Russian PIO capacitors? The price would be approximately the same than a brand new production model from my local shop. Thank you very much for your help 🙂
