    in The Gibson Lounge

    Hi guys, I shall replace the harness of my 333 with a new one and 50s wiring.

    Now I need to know if the pots are long or short shaft.

    Anyone knows? 

    Marketing Gone Mad

    It's good business when people pay hundreds to do your advertising for you. 

    It is smart marketing, and people who do not see it are blind. I myself do not wear anything that names a product unless they would pay me for it.

    Some of the reputation is deserved I think, but we're not all created equal.  

    I went to Finland back in 2012, I was surprised and impressed with the way the conduct themselves in day to day living.

    For example, If you walk into a conference room, or sit down at lunch with them, they will immediately start talking in English so that you can understand them and know the conversation.

    "it would be rude to continue talking when you could not understand"   They all speak perfect English too.  Some accents are bit harder to get thru, but they know the language.  They have to be fluent in English, Swiss and Finish to graduate high school.  Contrast that to here, and how some people conduct themselves in pubilc.

    Another oddity.. We were walking back to the hotel in Helsinki one night after some bar hoping.  When we reached the intersection where the traffic lights were, the "don't walk" sign was lit.

    There wasn't a car in site,  we waited for the "Walk" sign before anyone crossed the road.  It was February, and about -20 that night.

    That was another thing I noticed, these guys were impervious to the weather.  There were out side bars running year round it seemed,  people were just hanging around in the dead of winter, having pints and whooping it up.

     

    Fluent in Swiss?! Does not make sense.

    I still enjoy playing Badge after all these years.

    Although.......... My fascination with Clapton started with the Yardbirds "I'm A Man" and at the end making the sound of perhaps a Spitfire starting up..   🙂

    Mele Kalikimaka to you too from -30 Celcius ! Wish I was there!

    "Stepping Out" is still one of my favourites  (perhaps because I can play it)

    Yes, it is a great guitar, especially for the money.

    Craftsmanship and quality is excellent. I do have a natural one.After removing

    the ugly pickguard, changing  pickups to Bareknuckle Stormy Mondays and

    adding a Bigsby,  it is a joy to play. Fits right in with my Gibsons and Gretsches.
