    Double thumb wheels

    I recently got my used R7 and I noticed it has 2 thumbwheels on each side of the bridge. One next to the body, the other next to the bridge. Any reason for this?

    56 LP Special-fret question

    I have a beautiful, 56 LP special. Awesome neck, sounds phenomenal, I just don't care for the thin frets on it.

    COA's decoded?

    I found a guitar that had an odd model number on its COA, which began with what looks like 'HB'. It is a 50th Anniversary 1960 ES-335TD, so I would expect to see '50th' or '60', but I'm not sure if this was a special run for a shop or something. Update- just found out that HB is 'hand built'...

    335's are the most difficult guitars to buy

    I had a 66 335 which sounded fantastic, but that damn narrow neck was made elf fingers so I sold it. I made the decision to buy a 'newer' (non vintage) one, but there are so many damn options with these it's confusing as hell. I know I want a substantial neck(love my R8 and nocaster necks)...
