There are just a few things I waited on, being the notched edge and I am deciding what I want to do for my levels.
I went with a standard old school file for me to hand crown but may go with an S file in the future. Let me know how that holds up!
I need to grab micromesh as well.
It's...
Luckily it has come to mind several times, as I have an old buddy I do a lot of guitar work with. He has a small one and it has been an absolute life saver. Some things just would not be possible.
Very, very solid advice that is much appreciated. If any other comes to mind, please do mention it.
Hey guys,
I spoke with the shop owner, who I mentioned in a previous post, that said I could have their guitar electronic work/repair.
He mentioned that he doesn't think he will be going the setups/repairs or running the shop much longer in general. Retiring basically.
I went ahead and...
Here is a pretty sweet preloaded deal. They may even have a 20% off coupon in my inbox somewhere for the 4th, making this like $160 total with hand wired American pickups.

I may go the gig bag route and list it up for sale then. I think the cheapest one of these 60s originals are around $2800 currently. Many of them have been refinished or are missing parts.
Any way, you may see this hit the classifieds for sale or trade soon.
Planet Tone makes some killer strat pickups. I really dig their DG set. Very , very reasonable prices. If you wanted to upgrade any other electronics like your pots, I would highly recommend the 275k CTS pots from Atlantic Custom Guitars. What kind of tone cap and wiring is in there? Is there a...
Hello RT,
Thinking of listing some things for sale. One of the items is a 1969 all original Fender Mustang in Dakota red. Owned by a single person before making it into my hands. It's well loved but is a great guitar.
That being said - I may be listing it for sale and need to ship it. Now, I...
That's what I can get this one for, maybe even a touch less.
There is a lot to think about. Idk, I may end up talking with him about trying to trade in a couple of things, I just know they are all about cash right now (Full inventory).
Definitely don't have just 3k to drop in the 'fuck it...
I am not a fan really myself, I was just able to get a great deal on it. It honestly sounds great, unlike any of the modern ones I have played that sound all thin. This one has some punch going on.
The only issue is that I feel like if I tried to do the trade-in, the value just wouldn't be...
This may sound shocking but I didn't even plug it in for my assessment.
There were no good amps around/in the shop.
Damn, what an axe to have to part with.
Hello all,
Went into the local shop to BS with the owner, who I've known for quite a long time now.
Got to looking around the shop and saw a cool gold top hanging up.
Picked it up to play and immediately said "This has some magic" when I felt it.
Really wildly great feeling guitar. The...
* something to note is that if you are getting these for a LP, I would seriously just get the Atlantic Custom ones, as they fit the current knobs on Gibson and they also do not stick out too far from the top like many replacements I see ... The threading starts where it should, and not with that...
I would highly recommend checking them out. They are very well priced and the shipping is reasonable too, unlike most parts places for whatever reason.
