NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Bought these tonight. The seller was an older guy in his 70s. Had some lovely gear including a SVL Strat. Might be the nicest-feeling Strat I've ever played. Anyway, got another Blues Jr for no reason other than the finish... and a Soul Food for no reason other than that I don't think I've had one. ...

I could spec a Strat to very, very fine detail. It doesn't exist off the peg. You're the man to ask: I like the EJ Strats because to me, they feel like my old one (do you still have it?) How would you compare it to the EJ's you've had? Aside from the radius and fret size they're very similar. The E...

Like how dynamic his tone is in this.

I maintain that an LP Jr, set up well, is possibly the only guitar you'll ever need. Thankfully, we all know that's rubbish. Congrats. Really nice looking guitar. I can feel that whole thing vibrating in my hands... :shifty: I felt the same way about my first Nocaster. Still went and sold it (stupi...

That's rather nice. Congrats.

Just a tip. Snap the neck off at the heel and screw it back on with whatever you can find in the shed. I promise you, it really improves the tone...

Not a shocker as such more a slightly bemused observation. Called in to the K'Rd Rockshop the other day and a saw a latest Gibson CS '59 ES 335, got a soft spot 335s, reasonable neck and weight and a good tobacco sunburst finish asking $13k. Last one I saw there was the last of the Memphis guitars ...

Said it was a god-awful repair... Why the fuck don't folk get these things fixed properly?

I've just studied that photo closely enough to see the screws and work out what happened. That's ugly all right. But I have to say the guitar itself is so pretty one would almost think it was an Eastman. Yeah, yeah; getting my coat. If it ultimately transpires they're necessary I'll countersink and...

Nice one Brian! 335 neck removals can be a real biatch. Looks like there's binding botches also? All doable of course...but all time and money too. How do the Wizz sound in there? I couldn't quite get them to work for me. It sounds very full. A/B with the SG it's a much bigger sounding guitar. Nice...

Congrats Brian. That heel repair doesn't look too bad in the photos. Naaa. It's shite and the neck angle is wrong. I'll investigate it when I've time to do something about it. Congrats, that’s a pretty guitar Yikes so you’re up for a whole take the neck off job then ?? Maybe. It'd be OK to leave it...

Last year this 335 went through a deceased estate auction. I didn't bid because I had a similar one at the time, and because of the god-awful heel repair. It went to a nice local chap who fitted the ex-GrantB Wizz pickups I'd sold him. A year later and another chap has it. The ugly heel is stable an...

I still feel like I’m lacking the ‘right’ boooteek drive/boost pedal Currently have Boost: catlinbread super chillee picosa Fulltone (ewww) fat boost Drives: hotcake Catlinbread tweed 5f1 Really like the sound to the okko Diablo in @ gregsguitars stuff on you tube Also enjoy Klon sounds when I hear...

Getting bored of YT is our own fault for watching too much of it. Suppose it'll be porn next...
