Has anyone seen something like this?

Quite some time back I remember seeing an ES 3x5 and a Tele? Both guitars were modded I believe, but I can't recall the artist. What I remember was the cherry 3x5 was modded with mini switches and a string through body setup. Does anyone know who these guitars belong/ed to? I was looking for the...

A while back I sold a sweet sounding '67 ES-330, with a nut that was a bit narrow for my taste. I have been wanting another 330 ever since. A NOS 2012 VSB VOS ES-330 has popped up locally (South Africa) for a little under $2800. Keep in mind over here Gibson prices are ludicrous due to import...

Do the USA and Historic SGs use the same type of switch?

I have a pre-rola celestion I have to store for until I sell it or find something to put it in. Any tips ?

I have a little hiss on the first channel, kinda sounds like a tube dying on me. I don't get it on the other 2 channels. Where do I start troubleshooting? Is there a pre-amp tube that only works for the first channel? Thanks Reinhard

One popped up locally, faded to brown, non-original tuners, missing one original knob, but has original yellow lined case. Serial with "made in USA" on back of headstock. What are the necks like on these? I assume it will have a volute, but are these necks very thin? Unstable? Narrow nut? Any...

Getting a set of double ring tuners that look right is proving to be a pain in the ass and $100 for tuners is too much. I am thinking of getting a set of these...

Hi guys I got some replacement tuner buttons for my Historic SG. When replacing the buttons, any tips for getting the spacing right? Do the Double ring buttons go further onto the post? Here is a crappy pic of the buttons I am using Any advice would be great.

My old AC30 has one non-original speaker. Someone paired the silver bell with a pre-rola celestion before I got it. Is there a modern speaker that will pair nicely with the old silver bell? Thanks guys

My SFDR has this feint whistling sound, like an old kettle boiling or wind howling around a corner, but obviously much softer. Any help woould be appreciated.

Hi guys The power tubes and Rectifier tube in my DR are really loose and I can't replace them just yet. Would something like this fit on the DR? http://tubedepot.com/sk-ret5.html I don't have the amp with me to check. Thanks
