BTD Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Are there really that many people that are willing and able to buy enough if these to make it worth producing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I like them a lot! ..."our most accurate re-creations yet" .. What cos they are using Hot Hide Glue? :) Rabs, you might be surprised how much importance some people on another Forum place on the use of Hot Hide Glue and tubeless truss-rods. Some posters would buy an Historic Re-issue and then, in the pursuit of 'historical accuracy', have the neck re-set with said glue. But they wouldn't be happy with just that. Oh, no. They would also swap the wiring harness; swap the pots; swap the control knobs; swap the selector switch; swap the selector switch nut and washer; swap the 'poker-chip; swap the switch-tip; swap the p-ups; swap the pup-rings; swap the pickguard (and bracket/screws); swap the bridge and bridge-posts; swap the tailpiece and studs; swap the nut; swap the TRC; swap the 'board for an authentic slice of Brazillian Rainforest (after having removed that aforementioned tone-sucker of a 'tube', naturally); swap the inlays; swap the tuners and tuner tips and then, finally (probably), have a complete re-fin using aniline dyes and, whilst they are at it, take the opportunity to have a 'proper' top-carve. They might be happy with the original strap buttons, though, so it would be pretty unfair of me to suggest they would change everything. P.

pippy Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Hot Hide Glue Neck Fit Never heard of this. Someone please explain. In the days before modern adhesives had been invented the glue of choice for luthiers (and almost everyone else) was made by boiling-up an assortment of animal parts (mainly connective tissues; not actually the skin itself). It hardens to form a very hard, glassy-like, compound. Some Experts on vintage instruments suggest that adopting this method of affixing the neck to the body will be a contributing factor in reproducing, for instance, the 'magic' sound which was a feature of all those Les Pauls back in the 'fifties owing to the relative 'transparency of transmission of tone' which is rumoured to be a quality of this glue as compared with more modern offerings. Using this type of glue in a small, poorly-ventilated room is, of course, not to be advised as the outcome could be that one may be liable to utter comlpete boIIocks. I haven't tried it for myself so therefore couldn't possibly offer an informed view one way or the other. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Farnsbarns Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I couldn't care less about hot hide glue but a lot do. Seems anyone buying a reissue now will get it anyway so a word of warning. DO NOT, leave your guitar in a hot car or anywhere else hot because the neck will move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
