  1. As an alternative to the Colossi, Larrivee makes these in grained ivoroid: https://www.larrivee.com/shop/ivoroid-end-pin-solid-ivoroid-1/2 I have one on order.
  2. I just put GHS 85/15 VINTAGE BRONZE on my Henderson and like them a lot. I too find Phos B too zingy on most guitars.
  3. I always wanted to see him play at Massey Hall (the House of Gord) but when I was a young student living in Toronto I could never afford it or I had an exam etc… In the fall of 2021 my wife and I went when he reopened Massey Hall after it had been closed for renovations for a number of years. It turned out we saw him on his very last MH show. I think it was the 172nd time he played there.
  4. We did that too when I was in grade 6 and it was the 10th anniversary of the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. I grew up in SW Ontario.
  5. https://reverb.com/ca/item/67211928-epiphone-150th-anniversary-sheraton-e212tv-limited-edition-cherry
  6. My current dream Gibson is a J-180 with: dark RW fretboard and bridge super flame maple neck, back and sides burst top, back, sides and neck moustache bridge with stars (like they did for a bit in the 1990s) gold milk-bottle Grover Rotomatics thin and dark DARK brown celluloid tortoiseshell Everly Brothers pickguards no pickup brown Gibson / Calton case
  7. The wiring in the old Victorian house I used to live in did not play nicely with P90s. In that house the EHX humdebugger was a life saver.
  8. I’ve never played one of these vibrolas that worked properly. They sure look cool though. If I had one I’d get a MojoAxe VibroStop Conversion Kit for the modern Reissue SG Sideways Vibrola http://www.mojoaxe.com
  9. These guys did an excellent J-200 guard for my buddy. You can see if they could make you a Dove one. Expensive but excellent quality https://www.mv-customguitars.com/product-category/pickguards/
  10. Japanese made budget guitar for the Canadian Simpson’s store. Nothing to do with Gibson at all. I remember shopping at Simpsons when I was a kid with my mom.
  11. So fake that fakes call it a “fake”
  12. “both have Nickel Bronze strings which my luthier has begged me to stop using.” why? Those are great strings.
  13. I listen to a lot of Bill Morrissey. It doesn't help the Texan G.A.S.
  14. I have Seth Lovers in my gold top Les Paul Classic. I think it is a 1999. I love them.
  15. I’d really like to try one of these new Texans too
  16. No worries. Personal stuff is more important than guitar nerd stuff. Post more pics when you have time. I’m still jonesing for one of these
  17. I’ve usually just left it and consider it a beauty mark or “prestige” as Doc Watson used to say. On one of my friends guitars I softened the lacquer with acetone, drop filled with nitrocellulose lacquer, levelled and buffed it. It turned out fine... but in many cases (especially with nitro finishes) “Better is the enemy of good” If the binding starts to come lose or really separate then it’s time for more drastic measures and professional attention, but if it was MY guitar I would just leave it and play it
  18. Kelly, any more pics of your new guitar? I am bored at work. My customer is in the USA and they are off today for Memorial Day.
  19. It is the binding separating from the wood slightly cracking the lacquer
  20. This thread has decreased my productivity at work dramatically. The past two days I have been looking at 60's Original J-50s (and vintage ones) on the internet instead of working as well as thinking of selling my Les Paul Goldtop and Martin... GAS is a dangerous thing.
