    Where/how to Adjust/Measure the Bridge Radius

    I’m wondering why you are concerned with the radius. The radius on that guitar is a straight 12 inch radius from one end of the fretboard to the other. Are you planning on replacing the bridge? If so, you will want to stay with a 12 inch radius.

    Where/how to Adjust/Measure the Bridge Radius

    Is the guitar in question one with a compound radius? Is it a Gibson style guitar?

    My son is at the Night Ranger show tonight!

    Well, it can be done without the fine tuners with a locking nut. That is just one of his sneaky little. A properly cut non locking nut can work as well. Almost the same if you use locking tuners without wraps around the ost, if you can get the break angle right. Those aren’t the secrets I...

    Harley Benton Guitars

    When my son was stationed in Germany, I begged him to get me an HB. But he said the drive was too far. There are other brands I could get for less after the shipping is figured in. He was there for 3 years and never went to check out Thomann.

    Harley Benton Guitars

    Well, it’s like any other MIC low priced brand. You’re gonna get a lot of bang for your buck, but you aren’t going to walk away with top American Fender or Gibson quality for a few hundred samolians. I’ve recently purged myself of most of my budget guitars. I’ve decided that there is a lot of...

    How many guitars is too many?

    I started the year out with 40. Now down to about 15. I have a couple of Gibson’s to add. I talked myself out of a Bucket List guitar. I wanted, and found, a 78 Gretsch Atkins Super Axe but decided to leave it be. The Upper fret access is worse than on my Casino. Since I’m primarily a lead...

    Santa (or Satan) is coming soon!

    Ask Jack Black this Christmas. Rumor is he’ll do it for the low, low price of your soul.

    My son is at the Night Ranger show tonight!

    I’m not sure where they are playing tonight. He sent me some video about an hour ago. My son’s Uncle is the drummer. He gets to see them pretty much whenever he wants. He took me to one of their shows a few years ago. I hung out with Brad Gillis after the show for a few hours. We talked...

    How many guitars is too many?

    I just got rid of a bunch this year. I’m down to 20. I just want what will fit in my rack and on my wall hangars. I have one open slot in my rack. That’s where the new Gibson is going in January.

    Gibson Customer Service👍

    I just called Gibson Customer Service yesterday. I had one string in a Pack of their 9-42 reinforced strings that had a kink in it (the High E) and they were A-OK to deal with. I just called them last month about a defective bridge for an Epiphone. It arrived in 5 days. Easy to deal with. I...

    Wisdom of the Old

    My Grandfather was really crafty. I had some of the tools he made for working on big rigs. He fabricated and welded them himself. My son has them now. Some of them I wasn’t even sure what they were for. My son has used some of them working his new job as a mechanic.

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

    I dig those. I’ve always been a fan of Specials and Jr’s. Is the one in the middle a Hardly Spenton? It’s a cool color.

    Where is everybody?

    I’ve been here not as much as usual due to some health concerns, but I am usually able to cruise the forum during the hours that most of our American members are asleep because I am sick and have a hard time sleeping at night. I know that we will be hearing from @Gemini soon because she just...
