    Local Craigslist ad "Old Gibson electric"

    http://austin.craigslist.org/msg/2132647068.html "the paint has lots of small cracks. Still works good" I like the "Aw shucks, I have no idea what this is worth exactly, but you're probably getting a great deal at 8 grand because it's old" sort of vibe in this ad. :rofl

    Pickup questions

    I have a couple of questions about pickups (specifically humbucker, PAF type pickups) that I would like some of you more experienced folks to weigh in on. First off, just so you know, I've been playing over 30 years, played this and that, new and old, etc. BUT: I have never played an unpotted...

    Question: Sell 'as-is' or repair and then sell?

    Okay, I have two vintage Fender amps, a late 50's Deluxe and an early 60's piggyback Bassman. Neither one of these amps is working right now. Both have blown output transformers. the other big issues are, the Bassman does not have stock speakers and the Deluxe has a broken handle. Aside from...

    Clean the dirt

    Okay, I have an old LP Studio that i found in a pawn shop a while ago. Originally it was black, but the owner sanded 98% of the black paint off, leaving bare wood. The he played the hell out of it. It is filthy and the dirt sure looks to be ground-in. It's just sweaty beer soaked dirty...

    Origins of the Pearly

    Okay, pretty sure we've all heard Billy G's account of how he came to acquire Pearly Gates. And i figure we've all heard that Joe Walsh set Jimmy Page up with a sunburst LP that Jimmy would make famous. But-a guy i know says that Joe Walsh is the guy who found Pearly for Billly G. This i...

    No cutaway Les Paul?

    Okay, here's one I remember from a long long time ago... Maybe late 70's /early 80's i remember seeing a black Les Paul on display at Rockin' Robin in Houston. The really really unusual thing about this guitar was-it had no cutaway. Pretty sure the guitar was legit, and an oldie to boot...

    NGD! (warning, no flame)

    So I picked up my LP Classsic the other day, it's pretty sweet. I know for most of you guys here these are some boring shots of just a regular 'ol guitar, sorry. The next one will be covered in flame, i promise... Actually, I'm pretty sure this guitar has the flamiest top ever seen by man, but...

    LP Classic/1960 Reissue myth?

    TW mentioned in a thread in the Baywatch section that the LP Classic is not a 1960 reissue, yet Gibson has perpetuated this myth for 20 years now. Alright, I'm hoping you guys can shed some light on this for me. I have always been under the impression (thanks to the mythbuilding skills of...

    Unusual Gibson tuning keys

    Hey it's my first post and I'm already asking questions: Back in lat 70's or maybe early 80's Gibson had a styly of tuning peg that had a little pegwinder lever that popped out of the end of the key. This was a super-short-lived feature and it seems like they only offereed it the more high-end...
