    You Know This guy is Pretty good Tech He admitted that the first coat of Necrosuleois ( A+ Spelling) coat didn't set right ,that it had left a Halo around the Logo , which of course I would have never Noticed. But he told me It would be two or three weeks before I see my Baby (weep weep) and every day i'm saying to my self as it's a 100 + degree day in Denver Come on Baby don't let me down. Refering to his A/C sys.

    Can you do this Re-potting on a strat Single-Coil ??? I've seen humbuckers waxed but never a Single Coil !!! max!

    It's a 1976 Les Paul Deluxe Shipped as a standard a Level A Gibson tech Proved it with the head stock template maple neck split body design and the date codes on the Pots !! Regardless It's Going to be Brand new when she gets out of the Hospital (shop) ! I can't wait I'll let you know!!! Max!

    ! We'll guy's the final verdict is in It's a 1976 Les Paul (labeled a deluxe) but shipped as a standard. It's all original and the way I found out was I took it to a Gibson Level A restoration tech. " Eclipse Guitars" This guy humbled me as far as teching go's He's doing a 80% full restoration Including NEW frets Re=finished head stock, Buff job on the rest , and Inlay Repair for $400.00 but of course his A/C was broken down when I got there. ( In my HVAC Service Van) the bartering started. It ended with me paying $200.00 for the full job ,and him with a nice cool shop!!! Thanks for all your Input Guys and gals Max

    That's funney as hell Brian because the pawn shop I bought it from (who is also a good friend of mine) was told it was a 1967 Les Paul , I let him know He'd been had as far as the year was concerned. This guitar is wierd it needs a fret job , new inlay and alittle a TLC! if I didn't know better I think it was from 1967 too........... Do I hang on to this or should I get my money back neck is straight as arrow!! It does need some work!!
  14. Strings to the Max

  15. Strings to the Max
    I just bought a Les Paul with the ser # 00131212 (2001) for $800.00 Tobacco sunburst, Standard Deluxe , the Inlay is rising up in a couple of spots on the fret board and either this guitar is just been abused this badly or Gibson had a bad day at the Factory, The Lacquer is noticeably cracked all across the Body Has any body run into this problem or heard of such a factory defect!! Max!

    Did Gibson Really make a Brass Nut I would think it would absorb sustain rather than Reflect ?? Dude on E-bay had one said it was custom hard to find ?? Max!!

    We'll My Floyd Level and tunes to a 440 nicely after lock down. I'll play it normaly and then do a few dives some Hard ones then the strings are a little under a 1 step flat if i tap the rear of the floyd it goes right back to normal. so Iguess my Question is are my springs to Sprung or not sprung enough or do I have the wrong springs.
  23. Strings to the Max
    I'm having a problem with My FLOYD tuning Very Slight Change in tuning after slamming the Trem. I've seen Black Springs and silver springs , Also dull silver one's Does that designate tension? Are there special springs for "Floyds" ? A certain amount of springs? Pattern of mounting them such as end to middle ? any advise would help!! Max!
  24. Strings to the Max
    I shaped my first Bone Nut with a Dremal ........ man it smelled like the Dentist office when they give you a root canal any other Idea's? Got my file set from "Calvert Guitars" Pretty cheep! They work Great!! Max!
  25. Strings to the Max
