    Not so Happy NGD - Gibson Les Paul Studio Session

    40!? Wow I didn't realize you had that many at one time. I think that might even be too much for me lol

    Going up a gauge

    One thing I noticed is that fatter bass strings sound weird when fretting notes after the 12th fret. So I'm torn between going for bigger strings and minimizing that weirdness.

    Ernie Ball Cobalt Strings

    Haven't tried these yet. I did try EB Paradigms recently. Also tried out D'addario NYXL's Guess it's time to try cobalts. I was going to order cobalt flatwounds, hoping that the cobalt would counteract the dead sound of flatwounds lol

    Your 'Weapons of Choice' for today....[pics preferred]

    I got my Hot Rod Deluxe back from the repair shop so it'll be getting a workout today. Oh wow. I didn't realize you had a 1st gen MP15. Nice! The current model just jumped in price by $100 in the last couple of weeks. From 2019 to 2024, it went up a total of $30, from $249 to $279. I...

    NAD! 2024 Hot Rod Deluxe!

    Went and picked up my amp yesterday(Monday morning). Left around 7am and got there at 930. Got back home around 1. IT WORKS! WOOHOO! Turns out that it wasnt the bright and Drive/More Drive switches that were the problem. I figured it probably wasnt but that's all I saw that might have been the...

    NAD! 2024 Hot Rod Deluxe!

    13 days later and my amp is ready to be picked up! Terence was right on his 2 week estimate. Just like every review said he would be. No charge. All covered under warranty. Can't say enough good things about Slemmons Music Services in Dallas, TX. He even fixed the locator pin on my tube so I...

    Looking for an octave pedal

    You could try the Whammy Ricochet but it doesn't have an expression pedal. Hmm...

    NAD! 2024 Hot Rod Deluxe!

    It's still crazy that I blew the fuse in 2 amps at once lol. And only 1 was being used. How's that work? 🤔🤷

    NAD! 2024 Hot Rod Deluxe!

    Im not sure. I was in the middle of Asking Fender to cover shipping to and from and then my best friend said he would ride with me if I just wanted to go ahead and take it. So I told Fender to disregard my shipping inquiry because I was just going to take it myself since it's only 2.5 or 3 hrs...

    NAD! 2024 Hot Rod Deluxe!

    Yep. I still haven't heard from the first people I emailed. I also emailed a 2nd place, a place that comes very very highly recommended, that has already called me to see about bringing it or shipping it to them. Slemmons Music Services in Dallas, TX. When I was looking for the best Fender...

    NAD! 2024 Hot Rod Deluxe!

    5 Months later... It already needs warranty repair. Talk about leaving a bad taste in your mouth. 5 months into owning my first Fender tube amp and it's already breaking. That doesn't make one want to buy another Fender amp anytime soon. Anyway. I noticed today that the drive channels won't...

    What have you purchased guitar-related in the last 48 hours?

    Ordered a new Demonfx pedal. One of their Friedman clones, the Freedman BE-ODX Plus, IIRC. It's the double pedal. They have a BE-ODX and a BE-Deluxe II or something, also. Both single pedals. Their other pedals. BE-ODX BE-Deluxe II, a BE-ODX with a tight switch instead of a knob, which...

    Repaired my Les Paul

    Above is a Bessy clamp with a neck caul from a JAWS fret press on the bottom and a 12 inch radius block cut down to fit between the nut and first fret on the top. Like this I glued it and clamped it. That's how the color was sanded through. When the two edges of the finish came back...

    RIP John Sykes

    My dad had a triple green 69 Dodge Super Bee. Green exterior, green vinyl interior, and a green vinyl top. You'd be surprised how hard it is to find a pic of one with the stock, flat hood. Everybody puts Hemi hoods and stingers on theirs so you never see the one with the 2 chrome pieces on it...

    Repaired my Les Paul

    OK so I took a few more pics of the detailing I did around the nut and binding.

    Repaired my Les Paul

    A few more pics. It wasn't my intention to hide the actual crack itself at the time. Looking at it now, I probably should have put more effort into covering it. Oh well. As I've said before, this guitar won't EVER be sold. It has far too much sentimental value like all of my guitars. My dad had...

    Repaired my Les Paul

    I've posted this on other forums and in other threads on this forum. So I figured I'd make a thread for whatever reason lol. The FedEx guy dropped it at my front door and cracked the neck. Smh. Before I repaired it When I glued up the crack, the finish had a step where it didn't line up...

    RIP John Sykes

    Whoops! 🤣🤣🤣 Edit: I've driven one of those Shelby Cobras. It's like an oversized go-kart. Handles like it's on rails and feels like it has no suspension whatsoever. I couldn't daily drive one. Nope. The clutch in the one I drove was very stiff, also. Not good for stop & go traffic. It was fun...

    Stop Tailpiece Replacement - Which material would you prefer?

    Somehow I missed this subforum so forgive me bumping old threads. I have aluminum Faber tailpieces on all of mine. If you haven't purchased anything yet, you can get Faber parts from www.adpguitarparts.fr for quite a bit cheaper than whatever his name is here in the US. I think I payed like $40...

    Gibson Customer Service👍

    You know what's weird? I mentioned Two Notes Captor on ST the other day and the very next comment was from the owner of Two Notes, Ross, thanking me for considering the Captor. Apparently he signed up like a month prior and had been posting here and there and saw my post. Surprised the mess out...
