Hi Guys and Girls. Trying to find info on one of my old guitars, a 54 Junior, that I sold many years ago to a friend. I bought the guitar in Sydney, Australia around 1977 for $500. When we removed the pickguard, there were several stickers of past owners etc, one name being "The Crescendos" Just...

I just had a flash last night on some of the "issues" that I've encountered on several of the vintage guitars I've owned over the years. I thought that it could be a valuable resource if there was a thread that explained some potential problems, and/or modifications that can go unseen in photos...

Heat the shaft with a soldering iron, slide the old ones off, slide the new ones on, right? Keep em straight, etc. I've done it once before and they came out "reasonably straight".:ganz Any advice to make the job perfect is much appreciated. :salude

Anyone ever tried throwing a set of Pafs in an early single cut Special? Just curious! :hmm

Ok ES experts! I need advice on best bang for the buck, best tone, best neck, best year..etc. Having read the thread, "The End of the Varitone Controversy?" it got me wondering about the other models. How does a 355 stack up? What's the best buy for say $14k? Is it worth dropping an additional...

So, I'm about to re fret this Goldtop. I installed a Glaser bridge a while back. The bridge is hard against the body, no spacer, and the action is close to right, but would be perfect with a .050" highish fret wire. It would be great if you could buy fret wire with a shallow and narrow tang like...
