Dub-T-123

I’ve been a fan for a while. I remember we had chatted a few years ago about your son being a fan too I saw them at Red Rocks in Colorado and it was such an awesome show. Saw them before in LA once also. At the Red Rocks show I kinda underestimated the altitude and my wife and I got absolutely hammered

All my guitar playing life there have been things I would like to have but can’t afford. That doesn’t mean the guitar is bad, I just can’t afford it. I can’t state strongly enough that I think the price is ridiculous but cmon this is a sweet axe and Jimmy truly looked and sounded amazing with his 1275

I gotta say the price tag is ridiculous but I’m a little bit surprised that none of us even seem really horned up by this thing?? Led Zep is far from being one of my favorite bands but Jimmy Page is like the patron saint of rock n roll. He has to be one of the greatest musicians of all time and he looked so freakin cool with the 1275. I literally can’t watch the song remains the same without crying because it’s so beautiful. Watching Jimmy play the 1275 is like idolatry. You could call it iconic. Again the price tag is insane but holy **** this looks like a ****ing cool guitar

I have pretty limited experience, but I think the original style bridge has kindof an important influence on the sound thats not to say the 6 saddle bridge sounds bad, but I think there may be some special Tele magic in the original bridge. I got one of the compensated vintage style bridges and it sounds more Tele like than my 6 saddle Tele

I didn’t do anything creative and it was so expensive to make a guitar. I swear there is no end to the finishing problems… with that said I’ve got 5 neck blanks ready to go lol. I figure if I make 5 bolt ons maybe I’ll get something right once having a fancy pants R9 is like waking up in silk sheets and you don’t really have much drive to attempt something competitive

Did you read that in the description? I highly doubt it has a satin finish and it looks glossy in the pic

What year was your standard? the ABR-1 is the bridge. The TP-6 is actually a tailpiece with fine tuners and didn’t normally come on standard models You might be talking about the Nashville bridge which is common on standard models. The mounting posts on the Nashville thread into bushings whereas the ABR-1 mounting posts thread directly into the wood Are you using fresh strings on the new guitar? Fresh strings help a lot with pinch harmonics. Also if you’re using the rhythm pickup you won’t hear the harmonics well through the amp. You should always use the bridge pickup for harmonics

RIP Homz boy sure knew how to stir the pot

lol hbomb homz and neocon

That album is so good to listen to on the couch with a guitar in your hands. Peter’s playing has a really good balance of being easy enough for a casual player but still really interesting and satisfying I always learn something listening to that album

This just popped up on YouTube. I haven’t watched yet but it’s Peter Frampton so it has to be good

$2,000 seems tough for an acoustic. Generally too little for an American guitar and too much for an import

I’ve only been banned once from here. I called Duane’s Hofner project a hack job I still think he ruined that bass, but learned to hold back on sharing my opinions sometimes 😉

Nashville bridge has no wire

If you’re talking about the pickguard sheet itself that could be replaced. The celluloid mounting brackets will be much more complicated to replace that was such a bad design on the pickguard but hindsight is 20/20 i would take the whole pickguard off because all of its parts are destined to fail or offgas in the case

That is such a cool guitar. Just looking at the pics I want to play it so bad!

Holy smokes.. cool guitar!!! We need more pics preferably in outdoor indirect sunlight

I’d be willing to be their CFO of tone. My tone is raw and warm

It took me so long to find out.

Striking Vipers for life bro

I guess the customer is always right

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

I should have also said… BEAUTIFUL GUITAR!!!!

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
