EuroAussie Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Now, let's get to the serious stuff: If I Tonerite my Red Bear picks will they sound as good as my Blue Chip picks?

ksdaddy Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I'm sending my Gibson back because they didn't buff the end of the headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksdaddy Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 My 2011 Melody Maker with baked maple fingerboard I bought used didn't come with a COA. I expect a call from the person who built it telling me when Fedex will be delivering my replacement COA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 My Grandpa died and left me an old Gibson. I'm not interested in selling it but I want expert opinions on what it's worth. Pay no attention to the Goodwill price stickers all over it, my Grandpa was quite the kidder, God rest his soul. I sure miss him. He used to bounce me on his knee and tell me how one day I'd own his pride and joy Gibson that he took with him to the war. So what is it worth?

fortyearspickn Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 KSD your wrong of coarse. Colosi pins are great. Yours probably rattled because they weren't properly humidified. Not to mention your lifting pickguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 No, it's because mine is labeled true vintage but the rosette material is comprised of layers 0.040" thick and that thickness was not available until 1950. The original used 0.039" so it is CLEARLY a ripoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I bought a new Les Paul Custom from chingchangchong.ch and now one of the pickups won't work. I took it to my local Gibson dealer for warranty service and they threw me out. I demand an apology from Henry, a plane ticket to Nashville, and my pick off the assembly line as a replacement. And dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyearspickn Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 No, it's because mine is labeled true vintage but the rosette material is comprised of layers 0.040" thick and that thickness was not available until 1950. The original used 0.039" so it is CLEARLY a ripoff. KsD - The thinner rosette allowed the top to move more freely. I have a sonogram I used (after applying vaseline to the rosette and having a cigarette) that clearly shows a full .002 cm difference. If you extend that based on a 7 sq.ft. face - you get an increase of at least 36 decibels. So, yes, you have been sonically short-sheeted. I assume the rosette in question was on that Les Paul?

J-200 Koa Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Since we are piling on ksdaddy, his replacement pickguard will probably cover the rosette which will void the warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
