    I think the official explanation is that those guitars had defective parts. Anyway, best of luck!

    I'm hoping the affordable price was $0! There was a video and news story just a few weeks ago about Gibson just junking their inventory of these Guitars. https://www.metalsucks.net/2019/08/01/watch-a-few-hundred-gibson-firebird-x-guitars-get-run-over-by-a-bulldozer/ Judging from that, I'm not sure if Gibson still supports the guitar, may want to reach out to their customer service directly.
  3. I'm a little late to the party, but My Bloody Valentine's shoegazey whammy style is fun to play.
  4. I hate the toggle switch location on the Les Paul from a player perspective, but from a purely cosmetic standpoint, it looks really dumb next to the knobs.
  5. I hear there's a nice local Brewery in Bristol. Tennessee or Kentucky is where I will end up retiring too as well. Truly God's country down there.
  6. How many Guitars you up to GG? Do you have a family pic?
  7. '79 studio? I thought they started production of those in the early 80's, like 83-84. It looks like its 5 years old, so it sure has been kept in good shape!
  8. I looked at each guitar and I'm like 'I don't see any Hamers!' :) I like the Laney best out of the three, but I've just never been much of a Vox or Marshall guy.
  9. Agree, try each guitar out. The 496 buckers are ceramic and hotter than the PAF type pickups as well and as a result those pickups, like P90s, aren't for everyone.
  10. *(-.50) cents. While I agree it is a nice gesture, I've never heard of anyone collecting shipping boxes, but I wish you luck trying to find the owner of the guitar.
  11. I agree. I'd say all the McCartney songs on Abbey Road are really bad IMO, especially that medley at the end. Even when I was 10 I thought that was lame and contrived 'granny music.' YMMV of course.
  12. How many Guitars you up to GG? Do you have a family pic?
  13. Love my Alpine LP Studio. 14 years and I can really notice the fading, though it is still quite white. I'm pretty sure in my Avi Pic, the guitar was like under a year old at that point.
  14. If you're looking for a replacement for your lost guitar, buying a heavily modified Deluxe doesn't seem to be the answer...now if you like the guitar, that's fine, but I'd recommend looking for a more in tact example.
  15. The give a suggestion that someone has unsuccessfully tried after someone posts about their solution guy.
  16. Reverb thinks you could get a little north of $200 for it. https://reverb.com/price-guide/guide/3723-epiphone-s-400-1980s-white
  17. Half of Abbey road is really bad imho. Revolver>Sgt. Pepper>Magical Mystery Tour>White Album>Abbey Road
  18. True, but if you would have read just the 2nd and 3rd posts of this 8 year old thread you resurrected, you would see the point you were making to resurrect an 8 year old thread was already discussed. I'm not sure why I'm so triggered about this, but I am.
  19. Okay, yeah my office building has something like that. The CTA 'L' here in Chicago still uses the ol' turnstile for entry, much safer for a guitar case than those doors closing on you!
  20. First, this thread is 8 years old, second, if you read all the post you'd see it wasn't the batteries, he said 8 years ago he tried that and he was able to identify 8 years ago it was the input jack that was the issue. Second, There's some cool pictures in this dude's Flickr.
  21. If you aren't in a hurry, I would just recommend to just keep reviewing listings on like ebay/reverb/craigslist as well as visiting local shops until you find something. Actually playing the guitar would be a plus, if you find one that feels right, get it.
  22. Was this like a subway station? What kind of gates are you talking about. All I can really picture are turn-style type entrances.
