do we think there is a real difference in sound? Or just looks? Both? none of the above? Sasquatch did it?

these are both off of the body

sup with this bigsby? Shouldn’t be flat to the body right?

this could be better aligned and positioned

That's not the neck block. Here is another pic from a different angle zz0.bbhvamva3hfzz

I think this is all it is? The post on the right zz0.6fsfywni23lzz

So that crazy paint scheme Gretsch (not so white) Falcon that I bought in the other thread. In the description the seller says it is missing the "sound post" somehow. He believes the guitar is the 6136-55 model which would have the "parallel tone bar" bracing along with a "sound post" that...

Full lowrider front to back. I really dig it...

I picked up a 2017 SG a while back. It had Klusons on it and I am putting Grovers back on it. It originally came with Grovers. I feel like I am doing something ridiculous but when I screw the front and back together.........on ONLY the right side of the headstock......I can't get any of them to...

Jensen Guitar. What an absolute bummer. 52 years of a small family owned place here in Santa Barbara. Seymour Duncan even had a spot in the shop at one point. Ben Harper used to run around there as a kid. So did Chris Shiflett and a million other local guys. They weren't run out by Guitar...

Family is out of town so I took them all out at once. Dear god. I'm sorry everyone. I am not a good enough player for all of these. But they are sure are fun! Thankfully a good chunk are ones I have made that are up for sale (and on sale!) on Reverb right now. Go buy some so I can finish these...

Making my first set neck using this template set: https://reverb.com/item/29764961-gibson-les-paul-junior-single-cut-set-1954-55-56-57-jr-1-2-mdf-guitar-router-templates Body looks perfect. Neck is coming along great. Headstock, truss rod, rough cut body shape all done. About to add the...

the one thing I was not ready for people to constantly ask about is the weight. I play at home sitting on a chair so it's never a big deal to me but man, people are looking for stuff that almost doesn't exist. I'd like a 4 lbs telecaster, swamp ash with a bigsby. You got anything that fits the...

I'm trying to build one and realizing that most of the ones you see out in the wild are S/S/H. I have a body with the standard S/S/S strat setup and I have the Floyd posts in there. I'm realizing that the bridge pickup is VERY close to where the floyd mounting posts are. I want to recess the...
