Well, it's a lot more tension and an angle bridges aren't really designed for, compounded by the fact that a LP Special II doesn't come with the world's highest quality bridge, AFAIK. But I don't know if that would cause the stud to come loose. Bend the posts, maybe.

I always liked their band name. "How about we call ourselves Camel." "Err... Why?" "Why not?" "Good point. Okay, Camel it is." (The above alleged historical reenactment brought to you by Asparagus Rex Entertainment.)

I sometimes wish I could go back to when I didn't even know know what sympathetic resonance was... I just played the damn things 😉

Agree to disagree on both bands!

Nope. Not resonance dead spots. Pleking is still awesome, though.

I've heard a snippet of one song, and I liked it. They've been on my bucket list for 20 years now... If you say people love to hate them, they're probably for me. People hate the so-called "overproduced" Ramones stuff, for instance. (Psst - it's their best.)

Sorry to hear of your ordeal. I was blessed in that regard, so I make sure to tell them that all the time. No one should take good parents for granted.

They need to put out a "1984" Explorer. I don't get why they don't.

Just the regular 3 positions. I don't know if the middle position that blends the two volume pots requires any special attention.

Oh! Thank you for that! Excellent! Putting 4-conductor wired pickups into a guitar that originally came with 2-conductor wired pickups - anyone know anything about that? Problem? Thanks again, Dave.

Weird. Seems a lot of reviews say bridge only (doesn't say on the Gibson site), but there's two of them in the 2017 Vs?

Not the Dirty Fingers, I'm pretty sure there's only one, i.e. no sets or DF R/ DF T. No sets at retailers. Correct me if I'm wrong

I got into bands harder between 12-25 or so. Every now and then I'll stumble onto something I really get into nowadays, but nowhere near as often. Part of it is formative years and part of it is I just don't have as much free time as a supposed adult.

So they always differ in output if I buy two of the same pickups?

Anything I need to consider if I'm to put two Dirty Fingers in a guitar? I see slight differences in output (neck/bridge) in certain Gibson guitar specs, even when it's the same pickup, in this case D.F. Not sure why. Electronics was never my department.

Aaand it's on again.

Agree

I hear ya. Equating being irresponsible to being free is no fair to those of us who don't want to get sick. Do false equivalences on your own time, geniuses.

You're welcome!

I've had bridges like that. Have had no problems whatsoever. Other than worrying about it a few years back.

Damn, you're right. And frets, too!

Mahogany. Because.

I remember turning on the TV and thinking, they're showing movies on the news channel now? And then... f uck. That actually just happened. What the...

Jesus Christ, dude - are you on here just to pick fights?

Relic'd picks.
