Yes, I agree LZ is in the past and would not go to see them now.

Every time I read one of these J-35 lemon posts I get creeped out and re-examine mine. Over on AGF a guy had one that needed a neck reset to fix. Mine is 3/64ths on the high E string at the 12th fret and 4/64ths on the low E string. I count myself fortunate that it all seems to be in good order. I'm glad to see you sent yours back for a replacement. Hope you get a nice one this time. Erik

Yeah, more V22 love right here. Great little amp. I just ordered tung-sols for it. Worried that the Ukraine situation may go sideways and Russian made tubes may get scarce. Erik

That would make a nice outhouse seat too. Erik

Really? A government (crime syndicate) makes up a frivolous law and enforces it with gun thugs. The mob always collects their vigorish. I'm disappointed in the federal government and I support Gibson sticking a thumb in their eye. Erik

Congrats on a great find. That's a sweet little guitar. Hope you get the bridge fixed up and play her. Erik

Nice work. I'd like to build a 2x12 some day soon. Solid pine, make it look like furniture. Maybe when it's warm enough to work out on the back porch. Erik

Got a new Squier Classic Vibe 60's Stratocaster today. I had a couple of real strats 35 years or so ago when I was a kid and through the mists of memory I'd have to say the Squier is a pretty good value. It's certainly a better guitar than I am a player. As an acoustic guy it needs heavier strings and a higher action, but I'll get her set up after I played around with her for a week or so.

Awesome!!

I like the simplicity of one pickup one knob. It would look good with a flat black finish. Erik

Warning: XXX hard core guitar porn. That is gorgeous. Erik

^ means damping on the tab I'm familiar with. Erik

Hey Dave, I like to do some of these whenever I think of it. I use .13-.56 stings mostly and can be heavy handed too. Mostly I play alone so I tune down to A332 so there's a bit less tension on the strings. Erik
