Re: Smoothing out the neck binding on a 335 Thanks for the replies so far. Here’s a picture but I’m not sure it will help. The bumps are subtle but I definitely feel them and now I’m grabbing this guitar last when it’s time to play. I’m starting to think that I won’t buy another bound...

Greetings all. Hopefully I can describe the issue with my 335 binding clearly. Advice is much appreciated. So, I bought a really nice Warren Haynes 335 about a year ago. It was in great condition with just some tiny cracks in the binding at the fret ends which I’ve seen on a ton of Gibsons...

Thanks in advance for the advice. I really want to try a TV Jones Starwood neck pickup in my Telecaster. I also have a SD Jerry Donahue Lead Tele Bridge pickup sitting around that I’m itching to install. Do you think those two pickups would pair up OK or is there something about that combo...

Hello all. I just took in a pretty cool Gibson 137 as a partial trade for my LP and it has a pretty interesting neck pickup that I’m digging. It’s an Arcane2 Gold Coil (the link is below) and it looks like the output is 6.3k. The original 498T is in the bridge and I’ve never been a big fan. I...

Been trying to sell a Bill Nash Relic Stratocaster and I have been contacted by several potential buyers. However, the fact that I don't have this cheap little hang tag seems to be a total deal breaker for them. Why? I could understand it if the guitar were a collectible Private Stock or...

So many guitar makers have a dual humbucker guitar based off of a LP. Hamer, PRS, McNaught, ESP......the list goes on. Why so few LP Deluxe knockoffs with MINI-BUCKERS? Seems like someone could improve on this configuration nicely. I will say the Taylor electrics show promise and are much...

Anybody own a sweet little guitar that you just know is going to go up in value but you told yourself you were going to play it like all the others anyway. Then when you do get it out you are a little nervous with it and feel like you are doing something wrong? It kind of sucks to be honest...

I have a strat lying around an a few pups so I thought I would put together a versatile recording guitar. It will have an Antiquity neck humbucker and a JD tele bridge. What would you put in the middle? Oh, by the way, is the spacing on the JD right for an American strat? Thanks boys!

.........and?

New Dano Model. I dig it big time. Can't quite decide on the color. http://www.danelectro.com/guitars_red.html

I typically play Gibson, Gretsch, Hamers, even PRS, and I just love 9.5-44 gauge strings. However, I can't stand them on my strat. I now have 10-48 and am even thinking of going to 11(this one goes to eleven). I seem to just want to wail on my strat and the lighter strings feel like spaghetti...

Which do you prefer? Why? How much of a nightmare are those bridges/trems? Thank ye boys!

I do. I have 4 guitars that I love and will never part with but my 5th one is in a constant state of change. I'll buy a guitar, always used, and play it for a few months, record a little, and then sell it for a another used one on EVILBAY. I try all sort of interesting guitars that I am...

I decided to sell a couple of guitars and buy a special instrument that I can enjoy and hopefully pass onto my son. I wanted a somewhat vintage investment guitar that I coud actually afford(unlike many old Gibbys or Fenders). Here is what I ended up with: 1994 PRS McCarty(1st year) Dragon...

Anyone played one? Feedback? I have a little fetish for mildly unusual guitars and these caught my eye. Expensive however......I am wondering if they have any warmth at all or if they sound brittle. I like the one with the tele bridge/humbucker neck/f-hole. CHEERS.:friday:
