• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Honestly, in my experience with Buzz's in-house tech, it's not the best place for this type of work. You'd be much better off sending the guitar to someone like Joe Glaser in Nashville. He refretted a '56 Junior for me and the work was stellar (Plek'd, too).
thanks I'll do a search for him.

I'd also say visit Mark's Guitar Loft website for a look.
Loads of members here have guitars from his shop... myself included. Plenty of R9's there for excellent prices.

You may not have a chance to play the guitar but Mark posts tone reports that are dead on.

Happy hunting

I like how he gives neck measurements also so you can get an idea of what you're working with. I need to get something to measure my guitars so I can compare. I always thought my '90 Standard had a thin neck until I tried the G0 yesterday. It almost looked weird. It had zero shoulders on it.

I wouldn't rule this out. Only problem is when I fly I can barely hear the day I land!

Got one from Wildwood a coupla months ago, didn't fly or travel there. If you sample what's around locally to get a feel for your thing and DO your homework, here at The LPF :hee , give Troy a call (with computer in front of you). He's a great guy and he'll shoot ya straight. Any fears ya have (I did!), will vanish instantly! :jim



Oh, did I mention that having an absolutely mind and gut wrenching feeling about a particular one helps? :rofl
