B-2 Tune-O-Matic Bridge (small posts) upgrades?
AngelDeVille replied to rocket launcher's topic in Epiphone Electrics
Be sure to tell everyone they are special "Tone Wheels".... "patent applied for" -
Mine didn't either, just put the hole below the maple cap line.

Just below the binding or maple cap for the X axis. Put the bracket on loosely to find the Y axis.

I was able to add a spare 339 pickguard to my BFG, fit perfectly. Just got a bracket off eBay.

It’s been down since last Thursday. See if this helps...

Bring back the harmonica bridge! Abr-1 sucks. Nashville is aight.

For certain the Bonamassa Amos V is a two piece no veneer. I read on the interwebz that the standard Epiphone V’s and Exploreres, may be multipiece bodies with a veneer, but I don’t own one of those so I can’t be sure.

Your headstock shouldn’t look that mucked up. How long have you been using and re-using that same set of strings? I doubt the guitar is the problem, education and/or a good guitar tech is. Watch as many YouTube videos on stringing a guitar with and without locking tuners and gently stretching strings. I stretch each string about three times each and I’m solid with non-locking tuners. Locking tuners I’m set with one stretch. Your nut and saddles probably need to be filed correctly as well. This is one of the first thing a “guitar tech” worth a **** should have done. And you can tell him I said that. I have $100 guitars that stay in tune.

I like shell pink on guitars, but I’m not sure I like it on and SG. I do like the frost blue. The tort pickguard looks hideous on all the colors.

How do I tell the value of the pots?
AngelDeVille replied to AngelDeVille's topic in Gibson Repair and Restoration
I was able to read outside leg to outside leg on the tone pots, and I double checked a known pot. 500k for the tone. I was unable to read the volume pots, probably because of them being all wired up and such. But they should also be 500k I couldn’t read the caps until I took one out and it was .022, I replaced them with polyester .022’s and they sound a bit better, if I’m still unhappy I’ll try .033’s in a couple weeks. I’m pretty close to happy. But my SG and 339 still sound better... -

AngelDeVille replied to AngelDeVille's topic in Gibson Repair and Restoration
Ahh ok, and make sure it is turned all the way up, correct? I knew there had to be a sensible way.. -
Dual P90’s, 2018 model BFG. Are these 300k? Are they all 300k? If not how can I tell? Is it stamped on the side? The only thing stamped on the backside is the Gibson logo. Anyway they breakup too quickly so I was going to try a different cap first, then change the volume to 500k. And leave the 300k tone.

Is there space to add a second set of adjustment wheels? The second set could tighten the posts to the body. -
My best guitar is a V, I remember seeing the V2 in a store when I was a kid, I think I need one in my life. I find V's very easy to play seated.
-
Maybe second best
-
I couldn’t decide if I wanted a black or white pickguard.
-
I would never modify my guitars from stock. It defaces them and ruins their value..

Tips for going to look at a used guitar
