Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company.

Some of the 4-digit '58 Jr.s, including mine, have the square body-edge as well as big frets... How's this for a leap of logic?... At the very beginning of the '58 double-cut Jr. run, a bunch of body/neck assemblies are made with the neck angle off a little so that when they are checked for...

Certified Guitar Player. A title given by Chet Atkins to a very select group of guitarists. The world should not be a place without Certified Guitar Players... so, I propose that CGPs that Chet named should be able to bestow the title on those they feel worthy. Thoughts?

A fellow at work gave me a near-mint copy and I'm giving him vintage motorcycle parts. I'd like to figure out how many parts...

Some of you know about the genius of Glenn McDougall, a Canadian guitar builder from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. He started production in 1962 and produced about 10,000 electric guitars until his death in 2017. He held many patents and was an incredible innovator. At one point, Leo Fender wanted...

All original except 3 prong cord. Nothing except the two tubes has been changed yet. Nothing. It still...

'71 Routed Deluxe, modified in the '70s with '72 DiMarzio SDs, phase switch, ground lift (I think...) switch, pat pend Grovers, and a weird brass "sustain plate", and gold hardware. Today I cleaned off 40+ years of dirt, removed the plate to find a couple minor cracks, (stable and unrepaired...

So the MOP gets inlayed, then what? The whole thing gets painted black and the letters scraped off? Any photos in progress?
