So I felt the need for a (minor) truss rod adjustment on my Trini Lopez. It has not been adjusted since I bought the guitar 5 years ago, it hasn't been needed. So I removed the truss rod cover for the first time and found this mess: The truss rod wrench won't even go over the nut. I e-mailed...

I will never have my own signature model, it's one of those life-long regrets. I'll probably never be rich enough to have Gibson (or anyone) build me a one-off either. Neither wealthy nor talented, that's my way of doing things. Anyhow, it's always great to think about what I would do if Gibson...

Got one of these in antique natural. I'd rather have one in sunburst but I got it brand new for 50 % off at a Christmas sale. And it sounds incredible! I'm blown away by it, can't believe that no-one got it before me. I've always liked the SJ body style but never cared for the sound from the...

This is a newbie question: How is the switch washer fastened? Only by the switch nut? What keeps it from spinning around? In other words: if I were to put a switch washer on ... say, an ES-335, I'd just have to unscrew the switch nut and place the washer over the switch tip and then re-screw...

Anyone seen this? http://www.themusiczoo.com/blog/2014/custom-shop-made-2-measure-your-gibson-your-way/ I googled and found some cool guitars made through this process but I haven't read anything about it here on the LPF.

Anyone seen this? The Benchmark Limited CS-336. What does Benchmark mean? It looks cool. The pics are from Wildwood. What affiliation could I possibly have?

Watched a clip of Foo Fighters live at Wembley 2008 and this showed up: Here's the video, I saw it around the 33-minute mark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sagjO--UsD0 So, custom order, modification or other maker with Gibson truss rod cover?

The Chris Cornell ES-335 in olive green: I love the color. Would be interesting to hear with the Gretsch (okay, Lollar) pickups.

Found this: http://www.gisbontrinilopez.com Don't know if it's been talked about here earlier. First I thought it was a misspelled fan site but it seems they make quite exact looking replicas. Can't see what the peghead logo says. Is Gibson informed?

Saw it on The Music Zoo page (no affiliation), what do you think? Like a small ES-330 with minis.

Let's play "find 1 fault" on the Gibson Paul Landers signature Les Paul: This pic is taken from the official Gibson page: http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-USA/Paul-Landers-Signature-Les-Paul.aspx

Since the release of the ES-330 reissue it's been getting rave reviews on the forum. Nothing strange there, it looks awesome. I can't remember having seen one single thread comparing the reissue with the ES-330L that's been out a few years. As far as I can see, the comparison comes down to two...

What's the difference (if any) between the "cherry" and "antique red" finishes on recent ES guitars? Comparative pics would be great if someone has any.

Hi. Yesterday I got my Trini Lopez reissue. It survived the shipping, thankfully. This has been my dream guitar since I first laid my eyes on one some 15 years ago and I'm so happy with it, I've been smiling this not-so-cool smile since it arrived. You know what I mean. Sure, as for "reissue"...

Better late than never. I bought the RS kit last fall and now I've sent it to my guitar tech for installment. He questioned why I would change out the existing electronics, "it's got a Bumblebee!", needless to say I had to give him a taste of the n3rd rage ... Anyway, I will post a review when...

My R7 Jr. currently sports 0.11-0.50 strings. While I love the tone and the picking feeling, bending is a stretch (pun intended) and after a few hours my fingertips hurt a bit. :salude Anyway. I'm considering 0.10-0.46 strings and I wonder if any Junior owner here has tried both? Difference in...

A few months back I whined like a cat after an unlucky recording experience. Well, after last night's practice I can only say: WEOW. I must say that for every time I play my Junior I like the simplicity of the layout more and more. I even like the flat and thin body. In the beginning I was a...

Had a band practice tonight after a few months of nothing. I wore a white t-shirt (I bet you're wondering where this is going). After playing the last song for the night after two hours of rehearsals I put my R7 Jr. back in it's case, starting to pack my stuff to go home. I noticed that there...

A town in my county had -39°C last night (-38°F), I wonder what that would do to the Historic nitro ... Lucky for me it's only -21°C (-5°F) where I live, cos I'll be walking to work in a few minutes, I wouldn't live through -39°C. Happy new year from a cosy and sweet Sweden.
