Rare and out of print.180 glossy pages of Gibson history and photos. Originally written in Japanese, this copy is the English version. I tried uploading photos, and it seems the image are too large to load. I couldn’t figure out how to change the photo size on both my phone and iPad. I would be...

I've a really nice ( and clean) 59 Jr. Owned it for a good 20 years. I play out a lot, but never take it because I don't like where the strap mounts to the guitar. I've always wanted to move it to the point on the bass side cutaway, so the guitar would hang like the rest of my LPs. I like my...

I'm babysitting my friends 60 335. It has a long pic guard. I was expecting it to have a short one. It's a late 60, judging from the A3573X serial number. It has an 'R' in the FON. Any insight into when the long Pickguards were starting to get phased out? Thanks, Russ

I would like to raise the bridge PU on a 64 ES 330 I bought today. A PU riser like on an old L-5? I need a plan! Thanks, Russ

Its been cutting out for years. Where can I find a replacement switch? Thanks!

My '64 SG Spec. sounds thin and nasally in the middle position w/ both PU's on. These pick-ups have not been removed since they were installed in Kalamazoo! Is anyone willing to give me the step x step procedure? Help! Thanks, Russ
