Back when that picture first appeared it was said that the bottom guitar was an R7, and the top a USA model (I thiiink... Is it a "rocker tenon"?). So no vintage guitar in those photos. It seems in all the repair threads I've ever seen on 50's Les Pauls they did NOT have that stop, but were...

No, but who cares when you like that guitar! Enjoy it 🍻:devilish:

Cool timing, just finished listening to every Pilot album 30 minutes ago. I don't think they ever recorded a bad song, great melodies and hooks, and Ian has awesome tone and is just a great player. Kate is awesome as well!

It's not an unwarranted question though. Imagine you're an insecure first timer buying an expensive guitar, and hear about Gibson's "vintage accurate crazy genuine speced" historic line, and you buy one. Only to hear the next year that they NOW have finally reached true accuracy. And the same...

Mike Ness is great! I think he said that he likes the maple necked ones the most. Regarding the Lizzy boys, Scott has said that his Deluxe was terrible. Also last I heard it was stolen. He still made great music with it though :) . I think Robbo really likes his though! It was stolen and...

Just to counter my previous comment in this thread: I just had a gig and used my 57 Jr. Usually people think it is a cheap guitar cause it's old and ragged. But this time I actually got comments like "is it a real one?" and "it sounds sticky, like how it looks". Made my day :ROFLMAO:

You lefties have it hard, it must be difficult not being able to just pick up any random guitar to try. IMHO you should get a P90 guitar. It's the best pickup I think, along with a tele bridge. Hard to describe in words really, but I think of them as fat like a humbucker, but clear because it's...

Well you opened up the thread with one of the greats, Scott! I'll throw in Robbo as well

Do they have abrassives in them? In my mind a "polish" does, but I might be wrong? That's the reason I haven't used anything on my vintage LP's except water and a cloth. But yeah, like the OP says, it's mostly pushing the shit around :LOL:

Beautiful guitar, awesome! I've gigged my '55 GT many times since I got it a couple of years ago. I don't remember anyone ever noticing what it is, or asked if it's the real deal :LOL: Nobody but us cares! I actually prefer it that way, makes it feel safer. Although if someone ever asked about...

Fret doctor is great, makes the board "pop" for a while. I would like to advice not oiling the boards too much. I personally wouldn't let any oil "soak" for any time. But on another forum I recieved lots of flak for saying that you can damage a board with too much oil. So I wont say that :LOL...

That's a sweet guitar! I wouldn't want a new neck to replace the original, even if it's been broken. (I'm assuming the current neck is the original)

Just a little side note: there is no law that states every burst must be sold to Bonamassa :LOL:

The "ugly" R9 Red Baron talked about hasn't been posted here. The guitar you all say looks great (I agree) is the "turd" R8 he mentioned. At least it says so on the photos. Of all the forums I visit, I think this is the one where people misunderstand each other the most :ROFLMAO:

Is it just the DC's? My '57 doesn't have this issue. Could you maybe file down the top of the cover and gain 0,5-1,0 mm? I don't know how thick the covers are, but maybe...?
