I sold another one. Down to 16 now.

I don’t know. I’m now down to 16, but will be having a few more coming next year. I will be adding three more, and then I think I will be good. I want to build a Brad Gillis replica next year as well. The three on my list will be a Squier CV Tele, a Gibson SG Special and a Gibson LP...

Every application that I’ve seen aluminum vs zinc used, the aluminum held up better and lasted longer in both firearms and guitars. The Gibson tailpieces are aluminum IIRC.

Well the one thing I’ve noticed with the new Epi’s is that they do have lesser quality metals on their bridges. I’ve had 2 failures on the IBG’s. But I did get prompt replacements from customer service. The plating seems to be better on Gibson’s US offerings, and the fretwork usually needs...

Just strings

Good. This takes advantage of unknowing consumers. There is a Facebook group for Chibson owners that encourages this sort of illegal activity. I’m surprised Gibson hasn’t sued.

If you ever get one of these, be ready to do all the work on it yourself as nobody locally or even in your state will have any idea of how to work on it. If any body does get a proper replica like mine, or a Guyton replica, they really owe it to themselves to buy Brian May’s book about the...

I am going to get a Tele next year. It will probably be a CV 50’s. I just did a setup on one for a forum member, and I was impressed with it over all after polishing the frets and setting it up. It had the sound and playability that I am wanting, has the look of the AVII 51 with bigger...

Well, I thought I would post this here as I know you guys probably haven’t seen inside of a real one before. If you break a string on one of these during a performance you’re basically screwed, as you have to disassemble the bar and remove the cover to change the string. You would also have to...

Are you feeling ok?

That’s classic!

I’d like to get a Banjo. I watch a lot of Tom T. Hall and Roy Clark videos.

Great prices on those strings. I am getting ready to place another big electric strings order.

I guess Smiling Bob no longer needs to worry about the little blue pills….

I’ll take 74 please.

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.

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

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...

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.

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...
