  1. That is such a cool guitar. Just looking at the pics I want to play it so bad!
  2. Holy smokes.. cool guitar!!! We need more pics preferably in outdoor indirect sunlight
  3. I’d be willing to be their CFO of tone. My tone is raw and warm
  4. It took me so long to find out.
  5. If your benchmark is a 59 then it’s a problem to have the Memphis tone circuit. They weren’t using the Memphis tone circuit in 59
  6. I should have also said… BEAUTIFUL GUITAR!!!!
  7. I would absolutely take that pickguard off and store it separately from the guitar (outside of the case) it looks like it’s degrading and as that happens it can release gasses in the case which corrode metal and does all kinds of damage to the finish and other plastics etc
  8. I’m not really debating anything, just said $340 is a lot of money for controls and installation. I’m not sure if there’s a cut and dry answer on when Gibson stopped using 300K pots. I’m sure they ordered a gazillion of them and just continued to use them up till they were gone. If your 335 has 300K pots it’s kinda unfair to evaluate any Gibson style pickups under those conditions. I always suggest to people here that rather than jumping straight to replacement pickups they should get a proper set of 500k pots and reevaluate. If you change pickups and pot values at the same time then you have no idea what difference either change made. It’s very possible that the correct pot value makes the change that you actually want regardless of the pickup Of course in this case when you’re spending $340 to get that done it’s not as practical of a suggestion as it would normally be
  9. You nailed it with the Buck Owens reference. Looks just like a Strat version of Don Rich’s Tele Also reminds me of a silver version of **** Dale’s Strat (which to me is the coolest Strat I’ve ever seen)
  10. I don’t have a similar story to share but those old Epiphones are so cool. Nice guitar. in ‘69 would that still be made in Kalamazoo or is that into the Japanese period?
  11. It adds up to $600 though. The cost of the pickups is what it is. The $340 for controls and installation really seems like a lot rerouting the holes is a difficult sounding way of saying he took 30 seconds to ream out the holes with a 3/8” drill bit
  12. Lets see that Strat come on don’t leave us hangin
  13. $600 is a serious chunk of change to dump on a Chinese Casino. I’m happy I’m not afraid to solder. Glad you’re enjoying the upgrades though
  14. Where did we land on the tone competition? I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was.
  15. Instead of posting links from 6 years ago can you post a sample of your tone please? That would be such an effective way to settle this
  16. Don’t show him what a 335 looks like cut in half… it’s gap city where that block joins to the ...*shudders*… …plywoood
  17. For the love of god let me hear this tone! You’re $7K deep on a Greco and you have made it way past noodling
  18. My guy just said he spent $5K on a Greco and then he’s gonna spend $2K on pickups
  19. Dude this guy is a SUCKER I can’t even keep on joking we’re just done here
  20. Spending $5K on a Greco is hilarious. Do not overlook what this guy just said lol
  21. Holy **** you spent $5K on a Greco?! lol no wonder you’re so worried about justifying Japanese superiority Maybe some day those superior luthiers will come up with an idea worth copying and the whole thing can come full circle
