Re: Best pedal to boost a Big Muff?

Re: NBD: Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass in Olympic White Finished it up and it all the bricks fell into place perfectly. I went with a SD Quarter Pound for the new pickup instead.

Was browsing craigslist, sometimes a gem pops up if you keep looking, and I came across an Olympic White Precision Bass for $100. Seemed like a nice deal so I went over and grabbed it. Came with a Deluxe Fender Soft Case and I swapped the black 3 play guard for a white single ply. Overall plays...

Re: NGD: Orville Les Paul Custom A bit of an update, I got the pickguard for it and I installed similar Grover tulip keys after one broke on me:

Finally getting around to installing a new neck pickup in my les paul, and I was wondering if anyone had tried the SD Staple P-90 from the custom shop? I have a gibson p90 in the bridge from a 60s sg tribute and I want something different in the neck to compliment it.

Wanted a Les Paul Custom for some time now and I didn't want an Epiphone. Wanted to try something new, never owned an MIJ guitar and Orvilles seemed cool. It's missing the pickguard and the gold is tarnished but I don't mind too much as everything on it works. The setup it arrived with was...

https://houston.craigslist.org/msg/6087523478.html I'm not sure what to make of this. The whole thing screams Chibson from the Epiphone bridge to the headstock. Isn't sale of these things illegal in the US?

A few weeks ago I was at my favorite shop when I saw they were selling an Epiphone 12 string for about $100, I fell in love with the sound instantly but by the time I came back the next week wih enough to buy it, the guys told me it sold. Fast foward to today and I arrived home with this...

Re: 1992 Gibson Les Paul Studio repair Done: Thanks for all the cool feedback guys. And yes it sounds good.

Re: 1992 Gibson Les Paul Studio repair I noticed some wood chipped off where one of the back plate screws go. Filled it with glue and sanded it down:

Re: 1992 Gibson Les Paul Studio repair Needs a few more tweaks. But we're almost done. I had to go back and wax pot the pickups after they squealed like a dying pig. The ABR-1 & stoptail fit well, and it appears to hold itself together: Might add some paper in oil capacitors as the last...

Re: 1992 Gibson Les Paul Studio repair Removing the stoptail bushings SUCK, probably the most frustrating repair so far:

Re: Fender "The Strat" Yep, the guy told me he just traded it, damn shame cause I was almost ready to go for it. However this did give me an idea... Maybe find the bare neck and body of a squier classic vibe 50's in candy apple red w/ matching headstock. The most difficult thing would be...

Recently saw a 1981 Candy Apple Red Fender "The Strat" appear in the local ads, and it caught quite a bit of my attention. It states the pickguard was replaced along with the entire wiring. The gold knobs, saddles, & nut are gone too. The finish has a lot of wear and checking and looks great in...

Re: 1992 Gibson Les Paul Studio repair Coming along slowly, abr1 & tailpiece is on the way.
