    What’s up with luxe radio for bumblebee caps?

    This is a shame. I have boxes and boxes of them. They are fantastic and well made. How can a company that is so good go so bad? There has to be something else to this story.

    Is Sustain Overrated?

    If a guitar has little or no sustain I won't keep it. I have been known to even add Grovers not just because they are better and more accurate, but also because they give more sustain. But then, many people question my sanity. You may as well. It's all good, the ones I don't keep because of...

    Oops I did it again, incoming NGD

    Sounds like the toggle switch needs contact cleaner and possibly re-bent leafs.

    Necks, LP vs ES

    Though they very all over the map I would say as a GENERAL rule ES tend to be somewhat slimmer than LP necks. Never seen a flat back on ES, always rounder but slightly slimmer side to side.

    2025 “57 m2m silver fox black beauty.

    Proform. Good luck finding one though. Bought it a few years ago for $150 before they figured out they were kinda a collectors item.

    Keeping the peace

    It sounds like a good idea...if they SOUNDS gooder. I may try this on one of my Bassmans IF they do a 10. I also might try a pair of 12's in the EC Twin-o-Luxe which also has on board attenuation just fer chits and giggles...

    new Les Paul 70s Deluxe Goldtop vs. new Les Paul Standard 50s P-90 Goldtop re: putting in Seymour Duncans

    I used to prefer really slim necks when I was younger. Now I like more meat on 'em. Hand cramps up less and it lets me 'dig in'. If I am playing for a long time it's nice to change profiles.

    Advice on first Les Paul!

    My R0 purchased in 2014 has the "thin neck". On the thin neck versions its the same width side to side but it's like they shaved the back of the neck more flat. It is definitely an acquired taste. I am not nuts about it, but it IS different....
