Re: I don't know if this is real or not. On the other hand this just showed up on Kijiji. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-guitar/trenton-on/gibson-les-paul-for-sale/1336275825?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true Too bad i just bought a couple guitars, no cash.

I'm getting ready to do my re-fret. I found out i have jumbo frets rather than med jumbo installed already in my 2004 Epip LP custom. :( So they are not likely original. Now with a set of strings (10's) installed and everything adjusted for playing. There is about .010" of correct back bow...

Ok, i was finding my fret board to be a little sticky: especially the inlays; when doing bends. So I decided to give it a quick polish with 3000 grit and a quick cleaning after. Now the fret board is nice, shiny and slick. The block inlays on my Epip LP Custom are now shinier and bit better...

I checked out a local luthier in regards to a fret problem on my Epiphone LP Custom. He's supposed to be of some renown. This was my first trip, ever to a luthier. Everyone claimed he was the best thing since sliced bread. He's even semi famous. Short version is that the bone nut he made for me...
