Bridge with the big screws is still the quickest, easiest tell. But the distance between the bridge and the stop bar is too big. Also the shape of the cut-away and by the switch are pretty wrong. I can tell on ESPs and Les Pauls better than any other, but those are the guitars I like best. If...

Both auctions are definitely Chinese made, but they're getting better.

I find the value for almost any ESP/LTD is pretty good for the price point. I've had LTDs as low as the 200 level, and have E-II, Standard Series ESPs and Custom Shop ESPs. Their current price structure for the E-II and CS instruments are a bit high for my liking, but there's great value in...

For some reason, the 4 knob Eclipses don't sell as well as the 3 knob versions. Most of mine are 4 knob. I prefer them that way, even though I never use a tone knob. #grandpaguitar

Stateside, I'll typically use any combination of stewmac, Philadelphia Luthier Supply and guitarpartsresource for parts including the screws in different finishes. And, of course, there's eBay.

You know, that's odd. I just replaced the hardware on a different Eclipse (an 04) and the bushing for the stop bar wasn't an M8. I bought a cosmo black Gotoh stop bar and the bolts didn't fit. The bushings ended up being SAE. I can't remember where I bought the replacement bolts, and I can't...

I used the Tone Pros LPM02 set for the bridge and stop bar. - http://www.tonepros.com/lpm02-tonepros- ... rge-posts/ The Stew Mac dome knobs - http://www.stewmac.com/Hardware_and_Par ... _Knob.html And depending on what tuners you have either the 3+3 Sperzels (I believe it would still be...

Mahogany body. Two volumes.

I have a few. *edit - I got a new one.

Only if you can prevent yourself from calling it a "shred-stick" in the future.

I have one in a few guitars, I didn't tighten the claw much past normal. I just wanted a return to zero point with it.

I redid the photo after I built out my basement. This time I actually did (just barely) put the black "ghost flame" on the black one. TBH, I'm not sure which picture I think is cooler, the altered one, or the layout in the original color. As for the prices, I see people asking all sorts of...

Les Paul Studio Swamp Ash http://www.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-USA/Les-Paul-Studio-Swamp-Ash.aspx

The Het sigs are always a bit surprising to me. I can't quite see why they demand the prices they do, especially since Het didn't really play most of his "sig" guitars after they hit the public. The prices are in flux lately, but I certainly would expect north of $4k USD for the JH-2. You'd...

MUA2 is a fine guy to buy from (several times, in fact) and I hear he's also a snazzy dresser.

I wasn't sure if they're using multi axis CNC machines. They may not be able to do an angled neck pocket on their machines.

Have the drummer practice ahead of time with a metronome into his headphones so he can get used to it. No point in having his first time with a click in the studio. Give him some time to get used to it.

I got those too. I could have had any 5 year old iPad or random set of handguns I wanted for it. Strangely, I was able to move quite a few unused guitars as well as the amp within a few weeks on CL, at reasonable prices, without too much fuss. I was shocked.

After he finished collecting all of his bees he said "I'm supposed to get my tax return later tdoay" I was convinced I'd never see him again. But later that evening, he called and showed up with the cash. His wife was with him. She looked less than thrilled that he was buying it. I just...

I'm not real good on differences between all of the metal genres, but I thought this was as good a place as any to share my pain. A few weeks ago, I had a guy come to try a 5150III I was selling on CL. The guy had never used a tube amp before, so I spent some time with him, showing him the...
