    I've seen it all.. Crackhead of the YEAR! (LP For Sale) WOW!

    The copper one. I have nothing to do with the auction, but neither of those guitars do anything for me. https://reverb.com/item/2007907-gibson-1999-les-paul-elegant-alloy-1-of-3-copper

    Cakewalk Shut Down (Gibson)

    It's a shame for the families of the affected. Terrible to lose a job with no notice. Even worse around the holiday. I don't know how the greater musical instruments industry plans on surviving in this day and age. You can't keep shoving out a million guitars (my estimate for the entire...

    playing someone elses sig model guitar

    I play the guitars that make me happy. Only once has anyone ever come up to me after a show and talked to me about gear, and that was a guy who thought one of my custom made guitars was an Epi Les Paul and asked why I was playing it while the other guitarist had an LTD EC-1000. I showed him a...

    Soldering set up for beginner

    For internal guitar related soldering, I end up using something like this for stripping the super thin gauges like pickups. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Pro-sKit-Precision-Wire-Stripper-AWG-30-20-CP-301G/206679686 For instrument, xlr and others, I have something a bit larger. Those are easier to...

    Soldering set up for beginner

    http://www.homedepot.com/p/Weller-5-Watt-to-40-Watt-Soldering-Station-WLC100/100130478 I use a small vice to hold connectors and wires (when I'm working outside of a guitar, anyway). Other than that, some heat shrink tubing and an electronic solder (I like thinner gauges) and you're off to the...

    What's a good giggable bass combo amp?

    I have the 1-15 version of the Ampeg combo above. I feel like it gets the job done (I'm a guitarist mostly, but I sit in on bass occasionally with groups.) In my experience, the sound guy at the clubs I play want to take a direct feed to the board anyway. I end up just using my combo for...

    Need help fast...Is this real?

    It's super fake. Wrong logo, headstock is the wrong shape, knobs in the wrong place, EMGs are fake, back logo and serial number font are incorrect.... Knob layout should be like this: Headstock shape should be like this:

    In my experience, you need less gain (guitar signal) than you think you do.

    Gibson nitro finish on solid vs. transparent colors

    Perhaps, but I doubt it. The guitar was white originally and has yellowed in the 40 years since it was new. Here's a section that doesn't see as much light, and you can see the white binding showing through in sections. It makes me think the clear has yellowed but the color hasn't.

    Tuning Thread

    For me, standard tuning would is .010-.052, which is the same set I'd use for Eb or Dropped D. D Standard is .011-.054 C Standard is .012-.056 I use the same gauge whether it's 25.5 or 24.75. I also have a 27" baritone that I use the same .012-.056 set on. It's typically in C standard.

    Gibson nitro finish on solid vs. transparent colors

    I think you're wrong. The back of my Les Paul leads me to believe that the white color coat is a separate process from the clear, which has yellowed.
