    90s "good wood " era vs post 2013 era ....... ?

    Ah, the “good wood” years….another delusional term put on an unknown number of guitars made during a non definable era. 1959 was the good wood year, 1999 no. Those were the reissue years. Take your good wood guitar and compare it in person to a fifties les Paul, your good wood will not be as...

    Murphy Lab Les Paul; The Big review !

    No ohm reading from pickup?

    I have a short lead wire on my bridge pickup, when I try to get a reading with a multimeter it reads very low, like 0.3, does this mean the pickup is dead? I need to extend the lead wire,but am concerned the pickup has other problems.
