  1. I had a luthier change my tuners on a Dot, and they came out wonky like that. I don't like the effect at all. I think the former owner just changed tuners using existing screw holes.
  2. Sweetwater is getting some ebony colored DCs in.
  3. In the 1960s, when a music store was selling guitars that came with nothing at all, it was usually black market. One place in San Diego offered me a discount on an Epiphone Texan if I would go down the street to a competing store that sold bootleg Gibson/Epiphone stuff, try out a few guitars, and then jot down the serial numbers so they could notify Gibson. At age 16, I was too nervous to even try, so I bought the non-bootleg Texan for $169.
  4. Musciansfriend has the Epiphone 335 LE Pro at a price that is enough to give me GAS. I can't justify it, but wish I had a house large enough to litter the walls with Epiphones as decorations.
  5. Not to hijack this thread, but I have read that some guitars have a photograph of wood capping the front of the guitar. Have any of you seen this truly "fake" wood on a guitar?
  6. All look wonderful. I never trusted that vibrato style...always had visions of a crack developing in the metal and the thing snapping free. But it sure brings back memories of the 60s.

  7. Since you were last here, here's the SG's I acquired:

  8. I'm not a do-it-yourself guy, and take things like this to a pro. My local luthiers ave either (1) died, or (2) moved away, so I'm in the process of finding one. Trust me, if I tried to fix it myself, I'd just mess it up beyond repair.
