I posted this in Dan's area below, but I figured I'd better give it a shot here too. I was doing a cap job on a Kendrick 2410 Bassman today, and I drew a diagram of the cap pan(no board, they're glued in the damn pan!), but after I came back from lunch, my diagram had disappeared!! Would anybody...

My dumb ass burned up the last block inlay on a '64 335 while heating up the 20th fret, getting it ready to pull. :bh That damned thing burned up like a fuse on a firecracker. Honestly, I've never had this happen before, and I need a replacement....quickly!! Anybody know of a source? HELP...

Hey guys, I've got this guitar that nobody(even Gibson) can seem to identify. It's looks to be an aged R8 quilt top, but the serial # doesn't match up. Anybody know what it might be, or is anybody familiar with this serial #? Take a Look...

Anybody know what Deerig replica '59's are going for these days? One of my good friends (and guitar tech) worked with Kris for many years, and he knows of 3 that could possibly be for sale. I'd like to get an idea of their value before I start making any offers. BTW, I believe he's also got pics...

Look what I found under the fiber-optic Christmas tree today!! The "old lady" picked this up last month off of the 'Bay for me. I got up this morning, changed out the pots and caps, slapped in a set of PUPs wound by the friendliest guy in the business, and she's now my new favorite Historic...

I haven't talked with my best friend in over a year(Marine in Iraq). Out of the blue, he calls me yesterday from Fallujah!! He was in great spirits, and it just made my Christmas! We talked about thirty minutes, and the last thing he said was, " Hell, it would be like a vacation if all these...

Anybody other than me think a Weber Cali 10 would sound good in Leslie 16/Vibratone? If you've got any other suggestions please let me know. For future readers of this post....don't try a Tone Tubby....I figured this much out already. :nay

Does anybody remember the Gibson add with that '93 R9, and a L-5 or something with a Blue ribbon around it? A friend of mine has one of those photos and was asking about that guitar. It seems like I've seen it recently, or maybe I'm losing my mind!?!? Any of you guys the owner of that one?

Now I don't wanna' piss in anybody's Froot Loops, but am I the only person that thinks the Holmes 450/455 are just a wee bit over-rated, especially for the price? I've been A/B'n them with some of my other boutiques, and the mistique seems to be wearing away quickly.

I've searched high and low, and I can't find any SOLID Nickel 'bucker covers. Anybody know where to find them?

OK...I've wired up several Historics before, and everything always worked out OK. This time, I popped in a set of Holmes, with my RS Prem. Hist. Kit, and I'm good on the treble Pup, but the middle and neck positions are dead. :wtf

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=10171&item=3742448278&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW I've heard these little amps are killer, but I didn't know enough about it to drop $1500 on it. Anybody got any info?

Has anybody got any good pics of this. I've got the caps in, and then I remembered some of you guys talking about liking the 50's wiring better, so I stopped there. I 've looked at past threads, but thought somebody might have some updated info. Thanks!! (hurry, the iron's still on.)

I come home in the afternoon, after busting my ass all day, to a dirty house, no dinner, and here SHE is lounging around, drinking all of my beer and smoking all of my cigarettes. I spend all of my money on her, and what do I get... no respect...

This sucks on so many different levels, love the pics though! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=38086&item=3740304041&rd=1
