So I was checking the facebook market place the other day like I always do. Saw an ad that just said Fender guitar with a semi crappy picture. Figured it was squire crap that someone was calling a "fender" but I clicked on the as anyway. Turned out to be a 1978 Fender Bronco... wait....It...

I have been searching for this guitar for a long time and the day has finally come. 1978 gibson RD standard. Overall pretty good condition minus the extra switch that someone added to it and it really needs some new tuners. Plays amazingly I am super happy with it. I will probably pick up...

So I just bought a new to me Gibson SG and when it got here the case stinks so bad I couldn't even bring it in the house. I believe its mold. I propped the case open, vacuumed it out and then started rubbing baking soda into everything. Its sitting outside in the sun now. I'm afraid that...

I have a dimarzio x2n pickup that I really like. And I'm going to try in my sg. If I find that I like that PU in that guitar I would really like to put a chrome cover on it. How will the added cover affect the tone? Should it be potted to keep it from becoming microphonic? On an...

Practically new. Used 2 times comes with everything. $120 PayPal GS free shipping.

So I have heard that Gibson quality has been pretty crap the last couple years. But I would assume it's like most everything else hit or miss on getting a bad egg. I have the GAS for a SG in the Autumn shade color but it looks like that was a one year only in 2018. Would love to get my...

This cab just oozes mojo goodness. Best I can tell it is a 1972. hand signed in pencil by Jim Marshall and someone else. Sounds super sweet and looks even better

Ok so I have a JB that is giving me a fit. It's only metering out at 8.56 or something like that. And it sounds like a single coil. I pulled it apart to check for broken wires and dont see anything on the leads. And each coil meters out at 8.56 so that makes me think that both coils are...

Supposed to be a 2003 Gibson sg gothic. It looks mostly right but the bridge has obviously been changed. But the biggest thing that is throwing me off is the inlays. I havent seen a gothic sg that had full inlays like this. I've only seen them with a single inlay at the 12th. There is a...

So I have a guitar that I want to rewire. 2 humbuckers 1 volume and 3 way switch is the current setup. I'd like to swap the volume pot out for a push pull so I can coil split the humbuckers. What kind of pot doni need ...ie are all push pull pots the same? And does anyone have a wiring...

So I have an old jcm 800 slant cab that came with 2 v30s and 2 greenbacks in an X pattern. I didnt really care for that setup because it sounded so different depending on which side of the cab you were standing on. So I moved them to a top/bottom setup and it's much better. So my...

Well I was super excited about this guitar until it came today and is damaged. Ordered guitar and matching hardcase. Came in 2 separate boxes. I'm sure the guitar and case were already boxed up and they didnt want to open them up to put the guitar in the case but dang....come on dudes...

So as I am still waiting for my charvel to get back from paint shop I realized I had enough parts around for about 99% of a guitar. Came out pretty good I think. It has WAY more sparkle in person then what I could capture in a picture. Pickups are JB and Jazz. 1 vol, 3 way switch...

So while I am impatiently waiting for my body to get back from the custom paint shop. I realized i have enough stuff to put together another guitar. Body is a 80's style charvel HH with a recessed floyd. Its bare wood at the moment and I have a pointy headstock charvel maple neck to put...

If you have seen my other posts it has been a bit of an ordeal getting this body correct. But I finally have all the parts so I thought I would start a build thread. Parts list: Pickups. SD distortion neck, SD custom 8 bridge Dunlop 500k pot Switchcraft switch and Jack Body, KnE San D...
