Strings to the Max

excessive neck shimming maybe??

On a Thru neck How The Hell................................

Max!

I got some Gibson decals from Ebay and my friend, blacked out the headstock, decaled, and buried it under deep clear...the ultimate law-suit copy! Enjoy the LP, sounds like a killer collection in the works.

" Repent Sinner " for you have sinned!! LOL

To Funny My buddy did the same with his Mexican Strat

Max!

Thanks Again Brian,

What the hell can be done about this Angle It plays good But The Bridge , when the strings Cross it, lay on the back of the Bridge before they

enter the tail piece. I was told " this common" well not on my V or My Explorer!!

Anybody got some input!!

Max!

Well I got her back today She's BEAUTIFUL his guy did a great job!!

I love teching my guitars but i know when I'm in over my head and this

was definitely a job for a pro!!

His name is Mike Patton W/ (Eclipse Guitars in Denver) top notch level a tech!!

Max!

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.

I'll close with I saying the Whitesnake tour last Night and there are only two words ..............Tommy Aldridge what a show man a nd Tight ass

Drummer.......Stold the Show!!!!!!!!!!

Max!

I'm Red green color blind so my vote is kinda void!! LOL

But what the Hey!!!

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!!

Well I'll let you both know, I E-mailed GIBSON with the Ser# and the Problems it has, which in both cases should not happened in 2-3 years

I posted the problems under Finishes on this forum !!

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!

Alex VDL.... Well the neck is Straight as a arrow no Major Damage normal

Were and tear ....The Inlay on freat board is is starting it Rise ..

Not sure what you mean By Mini-humbucker??

And Man it looks older than 3 years but I was told the same thing about

there Ser# sys.

E-mail me and that way I can send you a Photo for Sh_t's and Giggles!!

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!!

Have you guy's ever heard of a solid brass nut ??

and is bone the best for tone or is grafite

Max!

I must say the feeler gauge Idea! is F_cking bad ass!!

Max!

Good call "Scott & b bish 247 ", that is the problem and that's a

killer web site to. I knew It was someting stupid.

You've saved many hours of Frustration!!

Thanks again guys this forum rules!!!

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.

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!

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!

I need to know weither or not there are different springs avalabe for tension

I've seen differnt colors does that mean what tension they are???

How much is that New FLOYD ROSE!!

Max!
