It was, but I bought that in 2017 or so.

I bought some from him a while ago too, very hard trying to get him to reply to requests, need somebody to go in and ask him in person

Give him a call, he's good on the phone.

Is this Fijian Mahogany from Pride in South Auckland???

https://www.premierguitar.com/news/gibson-1959-humbucker-collectors-edition Looking at the packaging, you just know these will be spendy. Edit: Yep, $999 USD. Weren’t they likely to be highly variable in those days? They were yeah, they were all over the place depending on who wound them and how th...

Then yeah that's fine. I put my phone on the table or desk or floor or my thigh, open the recording app, do the thing, then click share and send it the jam groups WhatsApp group.

For professional recording? Nope.

For getting ideas down and having them easily sharable? Yep.

Different series are typically for different spec requirements such as: OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE (°C) RATED VOLTAGE (V) BODY DIAMETER (MM) BODY LENGTH (MM) CAPACITANCE (ΜF) CAPACITANCE TOLERANCE (%) According to Panasonic ;) Basically, any cap of a reputable brand that fits your requirements wil...

Does it count if it says "Les Paul" on the headstock?
1961 SG Jr.

Does it count if it says "by Gibson" on the headstock?

There's no real reason to go Apple, and if you get the Volt 1 at $300 NZD that leaves you with $700 for some sort of Apple device. I don't see the benefit personally when everything works perfectly well on Windows. That interface is fine. It doesn't look any better or worse than anything else, but b...

$750 buy now in Auckland.

I remember seeing a WTB post but couldn't recall who posted it sorry. If you're still looking that seems like a decent deal.

It's a 220n cap rated for 63v. I have about 100 of them if you get stuck and are in Auckland. Although mine are 100v and a little fatter to reflect this.

Then reflow those solder joints around the jack and you should be sweet. Solder does harden and crack over time.
