Welcome to the party 🎉 !

Very intense @RustyChops !

Fun stuff

Oh you di n’t…

I would never…. Especially considering the beautiful SGs they are coming out with lately.

Well, didn’t say you were a Beatle..?

I don’t know you that well.

I just listened to the whole demo. Great stuff. Not only can Koch play, pretty sure he can sell sand to Arabs.

Sure does look cool. Koch is one of the best. I have his book on slide technique. If I didn't have all these other effects… that I don’t use to their fullest. I’d prolly get one.

Just had another thought… (thinking, dangerous- I know…) The point of an high end Epi? 2000$ less than a high end Gibby! And just as good.

Well, I’ve been there with other projects. I’ll knock it back with a light sanding and go a little more careful tomorrow. It’s gonna be a pretty one. I only covered the rear of the headstock to fully cover the holes from the previous tuners. They left it ugly. A

Got it. Solvent pop. When I screw up it’s usually worse than this. I’m glad this is minor.

Looks like your knobs are correct as well for a 79.

@john john I found some better info. Looks more certain this is a ‘79. Serial number indicates this was stamped on the 98th day in 1979. Still 1979. On the pot, 71-079. This number is Gibson’s ‘in house’ part number. 13778? Is incomplete. Because we can’t see what’s under that...

Pulled down the 12 the other day. Strings had turned to crap. And the whole thing was dusty as could be. Dry fretboard. Before After. I put together a hybrid set of strings, 8s. All flatwounds. Fretboard. Before on the right. After on the left.

Must have been defective.

Love that black pearl
