There was an episode of a tv show called Black Mirror which was exactly about that. Its a series where they tell different stories each week usually to do with technology and how society will handle it. Really good I thought. Sorta like a modern day Twilight Zone but linked to technology.
Anyway, in the first episode of the last series they had an episode called Joan is Awful. And its very much about that. Using a sort of Netflix type company, anyone who signs up to watch Netflix can be in this AI made show which uses the victims email and phone cameras and stuff like that to show their life on TV (but with AI generated actors) and it totally ruins her life. Brilliant TV but scary thinking how close we are to that sort of thing.

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

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

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)
-
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?

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

Lets see that Strat come on don’t leave us hangin

$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

Where did we land on the tone competition? I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was.

My tone is way better than yours though

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

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
-
My guy just said he spent $5K on a Greco and then he’s gonna spend $2K on pickups

Dude this guy is a SUCKER I can’t even keep on joking we’re just done here
-
Spending $5K on a Greco is hilarious. Do not overlook what this guy just said lol

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

Well now I am questioning it... It seems my thirty odd years or so of playing Gibsons I was wrong because some random person told me that the set necks on my guitars arent good enough.. So now I am just going to sell them all and get a ukulele,, Gibson you suck. Thanks Fuji, you really set us all straight on this topic.
I wouldn’t throw the baby out with the bath water. You’re a boomer with like 50 Gibsons. If you cut them all in half you might find one with a decent neck joint. A minuscule amount of Gibsons have proper neck joints
-
Rabs do you even have good tone?? Fuji we really need to hear your tone to put an end to this once and for all

We love music here. It would be awesome to hear some killer guitar playing even if it’s on a Greco. Best way to shut these boomers up is to give them a taste of those fiery licks and show em what a real neck joint sounds like

This guy will apparently believe anything that implies Greco > Gibson.
Thats ok. I’ll stick with my Les Paul and I don’t feel like I need to cut it in half to see if there’s a gap. If there’s a gap then it’s a tone enhancing acoustic chamber
