http://www.flickr.com/photos/61212226@N00/ Saw this V on ebay while looking if there were any cheap ones after getting GAS from the P-90 V thread. If it stays at the price it is now it looks like a good deal for someone who was looking for a V refinishing project. I say heck with the whole...

Just got an e-mail from Gibson mentioning it. http://www.gibson.com/en%2Dus/Lifestyle/Features/gibson%2Dusa%2Dproudly%2Dpresents%2Dth/ At least it's not $2,000+ like some other signature models.

Anyone played/owned one of those Yamaha Silent Guitars or some other kind of acoustic electric semi hollow or solid body guitars? Looking to get another nylon string since my first guitar (cheap Yamaha classical) is not really worth looking to put a piezo in. Eventually I'd like to get one...

Is a Telecaster style bridge for a HB usually interchangeable with a regular hardtail bridge? Also what tonal changes/benefits/detractors would result from using a tele style bridge as opposed to a regular style hardtail? Just wondering since it's very rare to say the least to see any...

Might have access to some ironwood planks and had the idea of possibly using them for building a body project. Anyone have any experience playing a guitar with this wood? I wonder what wood would work well for the back of the body since the planks are kind of thin.

Recently rediscovered a SM-3 (Seymourized Mini HB) bridge pickup (the neck is somewhere yet to be rediscovered as well) which had been slated for a project guitar which never really went anywhere many years ago. The info on the site recommended mahogany/swamp ash bodies and rosewood...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150097316873&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=005 Saw this on ebay a few days ago. John Jorgensen's Fender Japan Custom Shop strat. Had me wishing I hadn't made some purchases a few months earlier.

Was skimming through the Warmoth showcase and found this as well as some nice sparkle strats. Seems like I have a subconcious slant to finding the odd ones. Well if I did get it I'd at least put the strap button in the proper place. She's got some skills but first impressions of seeing the...

Having spent most of my time playing SSS (strats) guitars and hearing all this hoopla about humbuckers made me curious about venturing to the darker side. Any suggestions on what to install in an alder bodied, maple/rosewood necked bolt on? In my ignorance I was almost thinking about trying to...

Saw this on that auction site and despite being disqualified from bidding on it this time always been mildly wanting one. Any reviews/thoughts/praise/hate for this guitar or any of the shredder Yamahas of the last millenium? Apologies to anyone watching this auction.

Wasn't sure which one of the many headstock repair threads from years past to resurrect so I figured I'd start a new one. Nearly snapped off the headstock on my reverse firebird several years ago and hid it away after a pathetic attempt to fix it myself. Recently started feeling guilty about...

Apologies if this was posted already but didn't feel like digging through however many pages there were. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180059409088&indexURL=0#ebayphotohosting Could have been amusing if there were two necks going in opposite directions or something.

Considering the fact they went that far to point that out I'm wondering if they come in black since I have an almost completely black guitar and I haven't seen any info on any color options. Undecided whether I want to swap out the 'specially aged' covers if black is unavailable or chance my...

I was thinking about upgrading the pickups in my Edwards/ESP Sugizo LP to Antiquity Strat Custom Bridges like the ESP version. Is there any wiring modification I'd need to accommodate bridge pickups in the neck and middle positions? Also, are they available with black covers? I'd probably...
