Btw keep in mind that while OOP you don’t need both volume pots maxed out. If one is backed off you get less cancellation. So you can further shape the sound that way

I remember when you did that you were dissatisfied with the volume drop when OOP. Just letting you know it’s gonna be the same way and the way people make it work is by having an overdriven compressed tube amp and using the volume controls

As long as he doesn’t mess up the finish it’s really pretty low risk. If he burns a cap he’s out like $.05 My advice is to go into it with a proper soldering iron which is powerful enough to create a proper joint on the pot housing. A powerful iron compared to a weak one is kindof like cooking a steak on a ripping hot cast iron skillet vs an aluminum non stick pan. When the steak hits the cast iron, the cast iron is hefty enough to stay hot. When the steak hits the aluminum the pan cools down considerably and has to work hard to come back up to temp

I used to have an old little peavy solid state amp that was pretty much nothin special but sounded really good. If I could get that amp again I’d buy it in a heartbeat

I need to mature some too. Richard Fortus sounds like Latin for a guy who lifts weights with his hog

A flush trim router bit in the neck pocket would fix the problem in no time one of my Strats has the micro tilt. I think a traditional shim is better overall. It’s a set and forget type adjustment, not something that necessarily benefits from being adjustable

I guess that the neck pocket wasn’t routed deep enough and that’s why the saddles are adjusted so high

I totally forgot about and overlooked the lack of backplates These were made at a time when 300K linear pots were pretty much standard for Gibson. So if you’re like me, you’re going to want to immediately change the pots to 500K log with 50s wiring I know these are supposed to be pretty hollowed out for weight relief. Maybe the electronics go through a cavity in the bridge pickup route or something

Don’t forget about wah wah pedals. I bet there are quite a few more of those out there than varitones

No issues with the regular ones at all on my LP Jr double cut shaped guitar. I’m sure they’re lighter than the g force

Good point lol

Rotomatics are going to be the most popular suggestion. Even better if they’re the locking ones. That’s definitely what I’d use

This is a good question. Guitars with the red analine dye will fade to lighter as the dye fades away. Guitars with non fading red dyes should probably get darker over time as the lacquer yellows It seems like my 2006 SG has gotten a little darker, I’d have to take off the pickguard to see

If you’re happy with your slash sound already, keep doing the same thing with the slim neck guitar and it should be the same

I always liked how they had the carved top and back I’ve never actually played one of these but they’re nice looking

We’re the guys that already bought stuff. Not too many of us actually buying new Gibsons here. Last Gibson I bought was in 2020 and I’ve noticed very few posts of brand new Gibsons here in the past few years

If you’re just playing at home then imo no there is no point in buying an acoustic amp. The guitar will sound better and be plenty loud for home use as an acoustic

Look at the foot in the pic. It looks like the seller is a Malaysian toddler

Basically it just depends if you have the straight or the angled bridge. I went with a mojoaxe compensated bridge. Instead of adjustable saddles there is a subtle ridge milled into the top to compensate for intonation. With that milled ridge and the adjustable grub screws you can achieve proper intonation with a stock looking tailpiece

I like too many to rattle off but lately I’ve been listening to some Johnny Thunders

It looks pretty similar to a guitar

He’s jerkin it with the best of em in the big theater in the sky

I heard you can get lobster at McDonald’s in Maine

I found the best fish market in my area and started making my own sushi. Im still trying to get my rolls to come out nice and tight, that part is pretty tricky. The fish that I’m getting is so good, if I do the rice correctly the nigiri is sure to come out amazing every time Figured out a really good way to make the rice in my instapot since I don’t have a rice cooker now I’ve done spam musubi and onigiri in my conquests as well. Both perfect snacks to bring to work. I buy Coleman’s mustard too. Don’t really know anything about it but that one is tasty

I’m thinking about how my wife puts ketchup on eggs and realizing I’m like psycho OCD picky about eggs. First of all I always prepare eggs last so that they are piping hot when they go on the table. Cold over cooked scrambled eggs make me think of being nauseous in a hospital just the cool temp of the ketchup on hot eggs bothers me even without considering the way it tastes. hard boiled eggs are good to eat cold but most people over cook them so badly last week I made some tamagoyaki nigiri and I was pretty proud of how it came out. A little soy sauce and (American) wasabi to dip it in. That’s another egg dish that’s not served hot
