  1. Sounds like it's suffering from "Dry guitar syndrome" how's the humidity in your neck of the woods? Are you trying to do anything to level off RH in your environment?
  2. Thing is I don't have the treble bleed issue on my 95 LP Standard. At least not so much that I'm thinking about it, but it's maybe worth a check. on my 2002 standard I add the variable treble circuit on the 500k pot. and THAT worked quite well.
  3. you're nuts and you don't know what you are talking about There ! I fixed it for you.. Actually, truth be told, I could not agree more. For anyone who says that Les Pauls, (or that config) is not as versatile as a fender setup, has probably never spent any time at all working the middle position and blending neck and bridge pickups using volume and tone. I can get the coolest blues tones with that setup and just a little edge on the tone stack at the amp I wouldn't want a 2 humbucker setup that only had single volume and tone controls, you lose a lot of options that way. Now I'm not sure on the 50s wiring, and volume but I guess it would make sense. I don't have that set up in any of my Gibsons, but I've always been a bit intrigued if I'd like it or not.
  4. I only have "Mmmmerican" strats. My bro-inlaw has a MIM, I can take a look, I should be with him on Thrusday
  5. check the middle link, ($8.95) that shows you some detail on the thread end. and the 3rd link maybe worth a look too. Avoid the first one. that one is outrageously priced but it's probably from a mid 90s MIM strat.. so "original" if you will!! 🙂
  6. have you checked Ebay Ben? Fender Mexican Series Standard Strat Tremolo Arm | eBay (a bit pricey) Stainless Steel USA Thread Tremolo Arm Fits American/Mexican Fender Strat | eBay Fender Mexican Series Standard Strat Tremolo Arm | eBay
  7. IME it's been that new Gibson acoustics need a setup which must include correctly filing the nut slots as well as working on the saddle. Just addressing the saddle and neck relief is not really enough. Gibson does not do much of anything in particular to the nut, and that makes an enormous difference. My J200 was the same way. It was not easy to play until I got it setup properly. once that was done, it plays quite easily. Strange Resonance sounds like something may have been vibrating. was there a pick system in the guitar, sometimes the control dials can rattle, or perhaps one of the machine heads could have needed some slight tightening. there's really dozens of things that could cause this
  8. he left it all on stage when he played, no matter what he was doing. !!!Legend!!!
  9. Gary Moore is one of my all time Heroes. love it..

    Christmas….

    I have no plans but if I did there would be something with "Les Paul" on it somewhere. Like I need another one right? !LOL!
  11. Hi Duane, Sorry to hear of your pops failing health, but God bless you all for helping him out like this. My dad had dementia and it had gotten pretty bad, spent his last days in a nursing home as 24 hour care is not something that comes easily. broke our hearts to know he was there every day.
  12. well I tried, I listened,, I really did.. momma told if you can't say anything nice. I'll leave it right there.
  13. Mono gig bags are top notch, one of my buds has one for his Rick 4001, In fact think it will carry two (bass guitars in his situation) but better brace yourself when you see the price tag tho. Gator has some ones that look pretty solid too.
  14. I have not noticed it however, I almost want to slap someone when I hear "So I was like, OMG!!! ....." ugh!
  15. LOL!! excellent Scott! and Murph, good for you I feel the same way you do. We do that as much as humanly possible. when you have young grandchildren, the reality is we're limited.
  16. they are popping up for almost everything. Gibson less pauls for and J45s for 99 dollars!! Going out of business sale! Sure, that's the ticket! Bose S1 speakers, with a picture of an S1 sitting next to a pers where in the photo the S1 is about 10x the size of what they really are, for 59 bucks on an over stock deal Oh Definitely Legit! heck at that price Lets buy 2! all scams, just chuckle and scroll past them
  17. Yep! When these stands first came out, they were not good for nitro, people complained, and they changed the pads. Albeit, too late for those that had happen what you had happen. I'd have been annoyed too.
  18. how old was the stand? IIRC they changed the padding materials a number of years back, not sure could have been as far back as 2016 or there abouts.
  19. ah, you know just the usual scope drift in the forum is all.
  20. right! I figured as much. to work it as a DIY / learning project to restore is one idea. depends on your desire to do that. The last reply on the chess match and tumor, geeze, you've had your share of challenges my friend.
  21. I can vouch for them Hercules stands are nitro safe I have a few
