    Early Goldtop Question

    As far as I know early goldtops used solid shaft pots. Is this incorrect? Were the early knobs used different to accomodate this or are they interchangable with later knurled knobs? I want to get a standard bell knob to fit on a solid (smooth) shaft pot - what are my chances? I'm thinking maybe...

    NAD: Valve Heaven “The Stack” 1/3 Watt hand-wired practice amp

    I was recently looking for a new amp and was seriously considering one of the 1 watt Marshall 50th heads or the Blackstar HT-1R head. I was looking at the Marshall JTM-1 head as it would fit the tone I’m shooting for and I like my amps simple. I liked that it only had two knobs (volume and...

    1993 reissue? Really?

    Or 2003 with some kind of makeover? Possibly a Brazilian? Things just don't seem to stack up. It looks more like a 2003 to me with a top only refinish and aged inlays. :hmm Possible the seller does not realise what he has...

    Hey Gibson!....

    Gibson request thread. I'll go first. Hey Gibson, given the opportunity for a cash cow tie-in with the release of Celebration Day. How about a Page #3 (*cough* real #2) red top replica, before the b-bender?

    Repaired 1960 burst on Ebay

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/1960-Gibson-Les-Paul-Standard-/380391713349?pt=Guitar&hash=item58911cea45 Haven't seen this one discussed, but pretty sure it is the same one that was sold on ebay a few years ago with the neck in really bad shape. Seems someone went to the trouble of splicing a new...

    Bona-Bird?!

    Bona-Byrd?! Admittedly I'm not the biggest Joe B fan, like some on here seem to be, although i wish him all the best with his music and his burst buying frenzy is undoubtedly cool! :applaude Anyway, I saw this thing and it really does it for me! Love the concept/idea. If only they'd put a...

    Gibson hunting in Denmark Street, London - Dec 2011

    Had a couple of spare hours today so decided to get the tube to Denmark Street as I hadn't been for a few years and there are sometimes requests from people visiting asking how it is. So I thought some of you may find this interesting. There are lots of other non-guitar music shops on the...
