    Stop Tailpiece Replacement - Which material would you prefer?

    Thank you very much. This is what I wanted to be informed about. You are correct about Gibson using aluminium, as far as my reading up. So I guess that I will go with aluminium then.

    For those who don't believe in their guitar knobs possibilities.

    I, for one, am not on Facebook, and I am not wiling to join it, just to view the specific content you are linking to. Believe it or not, as far as my social media resolution. So is there any other way I could get a glimpse or your wisdom emanating over there? - Probably a moot point, as I would...

    Stop Tailpiece Replacement - Which material would you prefer?

    Well yes, the Bigsby suggestion sounds quite solid. Thank you very much.

    Stop Tailpiece Replacement - Which material would you prefer?

    Not necessarily a tone change that I am expecting, although I have read that different materials in the tailpiece may give more or less sustain. I will admit that the main reason for starting to consider doing this being cosmetic more or less. The first thing I did to this guitar after it...

    Stop Tailpiece Replacement - Which material would you prefer?

    I am looking to replace the stock tailpiece on my Epiphone Les Paul Classic, considering either a Gotoh made of zinc, or another Gotoh made of aluminium, at a little more than double the price, both nickel plated. Which one would you choose? Any pros and cons? Does the additional cost pay in...

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

    A Gotoh GE-103B-T Tunamatic Nickel for my Epiphone Les Paul Classic. Installation was a lot less of an issue than I had expected.

    Where/how to Adjust/Measure the Bridge Radius

    Thank you so much once more. Please excuse my ignorance, but not so long ago, I didn't even know how to spell "fretboard radius", not mentioning being unfamiliar with the role it plays. I have probably been misguided by our I have mis-read an awful lot of information I found about this on the...

    Where/how to Adjust/Measure the Bridge Radius

    I remember that I have read some comprehensive discussions on this in other forums, probably MLP, but I don't seem to remember the overall consensus about it, if there was any, so I am starting here again. Should the bridge radius be the same as the fretboard radius of the first fret, or the...

    Assuming that your son didn't do his service in Germany under the Truman administration, but some time after, he might as well have used the Internet to order from them. :-) In March or April this year, I decided that it's finally the time for me to get a Les Paul of some sort. So I went to...

    Harley Benton Guitars

    So would I, if they only existed any longer. I was born and grew up in a very small village in the Düsseldorf area, and when I started playing in 1972, there were music shops in every bigger town around us, just a 30 minutes bus ride away from us at most. Today, that has changed dramatically...

    I bought an extremely cheap set of nut slotting files from Thomann which just does the job, specifically as I'm not planning on doing this on a daily basis. It cost under €10. As far as fret dressing or crowning, I'd rather invest €200 for a Thomann Plek service, if I consider the guitar worth...

    Excellent choice! I've purchased some MusicNomad tools recently, and although they are quite expensive, there are absolutely superb. I particularly like the case containing all the relevant gauges at the bottom in the picture which I always keep handy next to where I sit to play. Also be advised...

    What is the point to a top shelf Epiphone?

    Not sure what the picture posted by be good above as a response to my message is meant to say, but it is definitely not something we would eat around here, but then maybe be good may have grown up with it one way or the other.

    What is the point to a top shelf Epiphone?

    Dead right, speaking from Germany, which is also a part of this planet, but don't try discussing this with the orange man.
