NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

put the Wilkinson ones on my '62 Custom Jap straight away. The stainless steel ones were... not great.
Thinking about swapping the pickups too. There's really nothing wrong with these ones I'm just getting restless haha

Cool wee video, I have to ask if Gibson uses the same level of detail when PLEKing their guitars, you still seem to hear about nuts incorrectly cut etc. Maybe their QC isn't as stringent or maybe people like to look for faults in Gibson guitars. PLEKing doesn't touch the nut if I'm not mistaken. It...

good deal on a Yairi? Have bought from this guy before, great seller and very upfront about any issues, seems promising

There was another Yairi up for sale here too. I don't seem to see old guilds around in melbourne much, where have you been looking!! Haha My mate has been thinking of selling his lg-0 around the 2k mark. Will ask if he is still thinking about it if you are keen Oh I've only seen Guilds on ebay/reve...

my fiancee gets it all the time (she's a drummer)
She's not great for a girl, she's a great drummer.

K yairi guitars go for cheap nowadays. Awesome guitars that never seen to get the mainstream recognition. Have actually had these recommended to me by some other folk. Seen some very cheap on both ishibashi and reverb. Problem is with most cool old acoustics is that they're on the other side of the...

Yeah definitely looked at a few Guilds they look great spec for the $$$.

Re: old matons, not nearly as nice or as cool looking as old American guitars unfortunately. They tend to either be average or fetch high prices

Have a hankering for some old wood (ib;jb) something cool and weird pre-70s preferably. Can play like a bit of a dog as long as it has a good sound to it. Have seen a few '64/65 Gibson LG-0s come up for reasonable prices but can't seem to find much on them. On the one hand I Would love a jumbo but a...

Brand new a Std Retails at about $2199 I think, and a Deluxe is $2799-2999 depending on options (gold hardware etc)

You'd pick up a Std for around $1600-1700 and like $2300 for a Deluxe I reckon. This is AUD btw.

Queensland maple is tonally closer to mahogany than maple, it was just named Maple as it's a pale wood, but has no actual relation to proper maple timber just FYI. MS2000s are pretty nice, Maton pickups are definitely interesting, personally I would swap em for something different unless you really ...

They are also pretty bigoted

Where are you off to? Over there this weekend and following week. Now working for Coffee Supreme as a Machine Tech just started this week. Pretty full on during the week atm but definitely will have some spare time in the weekend if you can catch up for a coffee/beer or come round for a strum (I'm ...

Take the covers off your humbuckers if they have them, problem solved! Yeah but that looks shit, plus treble boosters sound the tits. With Germanium trannies it's actually pretty easy to swap the polarity of the whole circuit so that it runs off standard 9v -ve centre without the need for a charge ...
