    Bicentennial Firebird

    Just got one, and it's great but the pots don't work gradually. They do little until reaching 2 and than the rest. Is that normal for those? Or somethings wrong?

    '64 Firebird III wiring mod Hi there, I have an original FB II from '64 and while it sounds great, I thought about changing the wiring, as I work mostly from the volume and tone pots and found it loses much treble when I turn down. The wiring is still the original one, looks quite a bit...

    Wax-potting pickups?

    I have a '64 Firebird, sounds absolutely stunning, but through my Marshalls (wide open) esp. the bridge pup tends to squeal if I roll the volume on the guitar on "10". Also on my Super Reverb and old Gibson combo, which I play with a Fulldrive, when I switch the FD on it starts to squeal quite...

    Les paul jr. - what to look for

    I'm on the hunt for a Les Paul jr. Saw lots of them around from 54 to 59, with extremely varying prices (from 4.000 to 20.000 +). I'm looking for one I can play around in pubs and bars, so if it's a little rough I don't care. But how come those different prices? What are the good years for...
