NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Sort of sounds like different humidity/temp then, give it a bit of time to settle down....but hey I am no expert, I have found when I brought in gats from the States they often took a while to stabilise ie coming from winter to summer or visa a vie. I often use a damp sponge in the case for a week o...

You have pretty much got it, it is definitely not as hard as some make out. I have all vintage guitars and had to learn to do this, use a straight edge to get a visual, there are various ways...a business card under the 7th fret, capo the first and fret the 14th or 12th blah blah, Ash can probably a...

Yeah I have had an Epiphone Biscuit that I heavily modded....national cone rebuilt soundwell etc and a Johnson Triolian (both wood bodies)...really sorry i sold the Epi. The Regal tri is also bell brass and engraved...very controlled sound, not as brash as the single cones. I prefer the biscuits to ...

Oh and nice Regal, how does it sound? I had a metal body biscuit cone that with a National cone was great. Here is the Regal I have now, one of the last made by Amistar in the Czech Republic before the went to China

You shouldn't have grounding problems, but for spider bridges most attach the piezo sensor to one of the spider arms or to the cone (bass side). They aren't always the best soundwise either. Check out this forum, I have been a member for years and there is a sh#tload of advice on amplifying resos. T...

Well mailday for me today, heres the latest, a 1966 harmony H19

Can't disagree with that, I had to work jobs to buy my surfboards when I was younger, my folks insisted, and I sure knew what they cost. luckily I didn't get into guitars until later in life, but damn I worked my butt off for surfboards and motorbikes.

just clean it up and make it look new Yeah Sarge, the so called new guitars I have bought must have been played hundreds of time since they came off the shop wall (didn't know better at the time to ask for a new one), only second hand for me these days. Lucky little prick....A $900 birthday present...

Thanks Ed, but these guys are wanting new - present for their boy (13th birthday), tried to tell them 2nd hand is better value but hey And resale on a Zakk Wylde Appreciate the offer though.

OK folks, I have a friends son who is wanting one of those Zak Wylde Epiphone Les Pauls, now thats not going to happen, but an Epiphone Les Paul of a similar spec, I guess probably black or similar will suffice. I bring in a few guitars (well quite a few), but these aren't my specialty, must be new,...

Dang Raz, I've only got a pair, 3 of a kind...you win...I fold Nice H59 Paul.

And you want to know the seriously stupid.....those cheap plastic cupcake knobs go for US$30-50 each, and the switch tip is one of the amber ones the Les Paul officiandos drool over for their '50s restorations, go for up to US$300 , sheesh just for some cheap plastic I could pay for the guitar....go...

Big knobs mmmmmmm, you're right

And here is the latest addition to the family, arrived yesterday....1960 Harmony Rocket, this thing has hardly been played, no fret or fretboard wear and all original, looks like new. Sounds like a ballsier 335. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n204/k1w1_02/Rocket-2.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com...

Have you tried glass bead blasting?

Nah sands better, doesn't punch holes in the top

I have several old gats that are proudly showing their scars and would.t change them, but when you get a mint one, a little preventative work helps
