    I may visit this auction. I probably wont bid on this, but it certainly is a looker.

    It is not in great shape, but no serious problems. Needs fret levelling, set up etc. Headstock has been repaired. Condition described as 'Fair'. Est £1000 - £1500

    Gibson Les Paul Studio 2016

    in Gibson USA

    Posted

    No, Im just curious cause of the huge raise in price for a studio. When I can find a Standard/Traditional/Classic for almost the same price. Was looking for a Alpine White Studio 2016, but it is like 900 dollars more expensive than 2015. With same specs. It doesn't make sense.

     

    I wasnt aware of the price hike until you posted.

    Are there still any cheaper 2015 Studios around? (Assuming you don't mind those).

    I was just thinking if anyone knows why the Les Paul Studio now has an increased price with ca 900$ ?? Mean, it's the exact same specs.

     

    Kid, were/are you looking to buy a LP Studio then?

    Has this increase made you think otherwise?

    What Comes With A NEW Epiphone Guitar.

    in Epiphone Electrics

    I bought one 2 days ago and I didn't get any of that stuff.

     

    I have to retract this and appologise to Epi. I was packing cardboard (including the guitar supply box) into my recycling bin today and these items tumbled out of the folded interior sections:

     

    1. User’s Manual -

    2. Epiphone Bumper Sticker

    3. Epiphone 2-Sided Poster

    4. eSonic/eSonic-2 User’s Manual –

    5. Truss Rod Adjustment Wrench –

     

    I like the poster best. I may hang it in my studio. The 'wrench' is an Allen key that will go into my tool drawer (I have many of these).

     

    The sticker? Don't know! yet...

    pickguard disintegration and corrosion of gold parts

    I was waiting for him to post a picture of his actual guitar but that never happened.

     

    I always thought it was a good idea to take them out of the case and give everything a quick polish and oiling several times a year at the very least.

     

    I think I've located the grease nipples on my guitar. One at the lower bout end and another where the neck attaches.

    Ebony or Rosewood

    in Gibson USA

    Posted

    Ebony can be lighter in colour. Luthiers & carpenters all grade wood. Sometimes a different grade will show a coarser grain or a hue variation.

     

    I have 4 ebony fingerboard guitars. When I bought the last one I was convinced it was rosewood (it didnt help that the pickguard & tailpiece cover were black ebony). Only by careful inspection could I tell by the grain that it was really ebony. This was confirmed by the shop and later by the luthier who did the set up for me.

     

    I concur that the pictures of rosewood shown here dont look like ebony. The grain is the best indicator.
