Yeah,it's in that neighborhood,aint it?I'm really glad it sounds as good as it looks!!!!Maybe they're shipping the good ones to Canada...Hell of a Christmas present to yourself.

I've got a 68 black custom that has the same problem..It was a fretless wonder to begin with and I'm worried that if somebody dresses the frets it'll be down to the ebony.I've gone to playing my 68 goldtop because of it.I bought a new studio 60,s tribute to give them a break,and the only thing I...

Sorry to say that big pickguard is there for a reason.It hides a whole lot and you can't go smaller.I put PAF,s in one for a friend and spent about 4 days playing it,and really enjoyed it.My son,s guitar player went with one of the Seymour Duncans and loves it.I have'nt heard it,but if this kid...

I was wondering if the 61 reissues had the 50,s neck or the 60,s thinline neck.If any of you guys know post the info if you get a chance.Congrats on the new guitar,man.Good luck and have fun.Happy New Year.

Hi,I don't know if the guy who wrote this checks this every now and then,but I just wanted to say that it's an excellent post and L'm glad I found it.I especially like the suggestion about using the slave jack as a voltage test.Thanks for simplifying what seemed like a complicated job.

If you've still have very faint reverb after you turn the pot all the way off,it's most likely got the mod.

Fluke makes the best commercially available ones,digital display,all the bells and whistles.But you pay for it.If you've got 6-700 bucks burning a hole in your pocket,go for it.I've got one,it had a backdoor discount on it from the local GM plant.If you're building nuclear warheads,it'll...

Absolutely beautiful guitar,man.That figure and color.Everytime I look at your pics I go pick one up so I can play.I'm a lefty,and when I was starting out in the 60,s,all the bursts looked some kid did em with three rattlecans.I had an ES-125 that played great but looked cheap.Sweetwater always...

Ha,thanks.I'm kinda funny about gear.D'oh!,I think that's the first time I ever used that word.Or rig.I feel better now.I've got a few cork-sniffer buddies that come by every now and then.I'm a lefty and they convenienly left their Suhr,s and Carr Mercury,s or whatever,home.I hung an old righty...

I agree.Good advice.The poor mans way of doing it will get hammered.If that's the route you decide to go,at least have the written work time and date notarized.Assuming you have something stolen,and you find yourself up against a Label and their attorneys,good luck.It's like going after an F-16...

Yeah,he's right.Was'nt thinking about that but have had it happen.The cap wont go down far enough to catch.The amp side will feel loose.Tighten it from the outside down.That'd be good if that's all it is.Good Luck.

This is really nice work,man.Have you ever tried a MARK V?I don't know where you live and have access to and you said "a live setting".It sounded like passive pickups when I ran it through a big Crown and some real monitors.If you did "blind again" and "message to control"on what you got,I don't...

I got a 2000TSL and a late 60,s"A" cab for $200 5 years ago from a kid in the local AdFinder,a little local paper.He told me it was "broken" and wanted $250.It had one blown out speaker.It had C-30,s and 90,s in it.When he showed it to me he had every knob on 10.Still got it,always will.Traded...

Yeah,I did.I was hoping it was his girlfriend and her sister.

I'm an old enough fogey that my LP,s are pre-Norlin.Don't know if that's good or bad.
