    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...

    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...

    Hey Scott! Hope you're doing OK, brother! I don't care for Jelly Rolls music personally. But that's neither here nor there.

    NAD—Bugera T5 Head

    Im glad I never tried to buy one. I was actually looking at the Fender Mustangs before I bought my first tube amp. It started with the Mustang LT25 and before I knew it, I was looking at the GTX50 because the others didn't have what I wanted. Around that same time, I came across the Monoprice...

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

    I finished up the repair on the Epiphone a couple of days ago. I'm still in shock at how great it turned out. I don't think it needs anything else so I'm just going to leave it like it is. I played it today. It's not sticky or anything so I think it's going to work just fine. Was able to test...

    Ordered a Sonicake volume/expression pedal. Maybe something else.

    Edit: sorry for the novel below! Guess I got carried away lol! Im telling you. Franklin Guitar Works. A subsidiary of MIRC, the 'USED' place. They sent out an email saying they had all this stuff going up for auction so I went to take a look. Obviously this was a warranty return and they...

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

    Picked up a TC Electronic Mimiq Doubler pedal from ebay. I had bid $75 on one and then noticed that one that was listed as a Mini Mimiq Doubler for $78 was actually a standard Doubler. So I just bought that one instead. The Mini doesn't do stereo while the normal pedal does, from what I...

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

    Well there was 2 guitars and me and another guy were bidding on both of them. What I think happened was the other guy won both guitars and then he decided which one he wanted. So he withdrew his final bid on the guitar I ended up getting and they sent me that offer to buy it for my last bid of...

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

    Made 2 speaker cables for my attenuator earlier, after the locking female jacks came in. It started as a 6' cable with molded ends from D'addario. Now it's two 3' cables lol. Had to figure out how that locking female jack came apart. That was interesting. So I cut it in half and put new jacks on...

    The usual suspect. I think many of you know the story behind this guitar. This is the 2023 Epi that I picked up for almost nothing for my bday last year. The day I bought it, 7 days after my bday, was the day my dad had a stroke. I won't ever be getting rid of this guitar. Ever. That's one...

    How much were those cutters? I usually just buy a set of Hakko CHP-170 flush cutters for like $5. You see A LOT of people using them when soldering because they're flush cutters. I use them to cut strings extremely short at the tuners. https://hakkousa.com/chp-170-micro-cutter.html

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

    You really shouldn't use serial number decoders. Email Gibson/Fender/etc... They'll tell you when it was actually built and not give you random info like those sites do. They don't have a database of legit guitars they're referencing. All they do is literally decode whatever you type in. It...
