    Les Paul Studio Mod: Faux Binding (Pics)

    in Gibson USA

    Posted

    I'm not really sure what the best idea would be for the higher gloss, non faded, series. I used a wipe on Poly.. I know I know, the Paul has Nitro on it.. But I had no idea where to get ahold of that stuff. Still, the poly looks great and blended fantastic. You may want to look into some sort of Nitro, as you have some scratches around your binding. I do believe unwaxed Nitro would "blend" in to the new Nitro.. Correct me if I'm wrong tho.

     

    Yea the scratches were from moving too fast with sandpaper and using the sanding bit on a Dremel type tool.

    I think I prefer to leave it unfinished than to put poly. Nothing is wrong with poly, but it already has nitro, so I may just leave it unfinished.

    I did the same, except I made mine more pronounced from the front. It looks great on yours. Here are some pics of mine.

    Sorry for the poor angle. I had taken more, then deleted some and now these are the only ones left. If you would like to see more I'll take more.

     

    EDIT: Could you point me to a similar product to what you used to clear coat it?

    In the limited time that I have looked, I didn't see anything suitable?

     

    Mine has been exposed for a year-ish

    3 Pickup ES 355???

    in Gibson Custom

    Posted

    Hey guys. Anyway' date=' my question is if anyone has ever seen a 3 pickup ES 355. Preferably a 355, but anything in the 335 family would do, excluding the 339. And if not, could it be added? Similiar to Alvin Lee's "Big Red" guitar, but with a full size humbucker in the Middle. [/quote']

     

    This is a Memphis Factory tour done by PremierGuitar.

     

    Skip ahead to 1.38

     

    They are walking to the finishing area, the guitars on the wall are a representative sample of the guitars made in the Memphis Factory.

     

    Its a 3 pickup ES 335/345/355....I'm not sure, can't tell

    People Magazine's 100 Most Beautiful

    in The Gibson Lounge

    Posted

    I wasn't making fun of anyone' date=' I simply don't think that she belongs on the 100 Most Beautiful, and I think it sends the wrong message putting her on there. Since Howard Stern brought this topic up on his show (commenting about her weight, and saying it will prevent her from getting any leading role in Hollywood, and the health risks associated with being that big) it seems mainstream media has gone out of their way to make her feel like there is nothing wrong with her. Well there is, SHE IS OBESE, it's one of the biggest (no pun intended) epidemics in America.

     

    Tell me, if she deserves to be on the 100 Most Beautiful list, why aren't Ralphie May and Gabriel Iglesias on there too?

     

    Just thought it was a good topic for discussion, I didn't ask anyone to start posting fat jokes.[/quote']

     

    I know, I didn't mean you.

    Coca Cola or Pepsi?

    Since you put it that way...I'll switch!! (YOU guess from which to which!)

     

    Well that could mean, you need to switch from Coca Cola to Pepsi, for the reason the name implies...small individuals...ahem...or you are switching from Pepsi to Coke, because you don't want people to think that you need the help for small individuals..

     

    Although the first is funnier, so I say Coke to Pepsi!
