Re: My very own gibson shocker

At least you're mature enough to acknowledge the issue so I'll give you that. :lol:

Yep- that’s a good fix
Duct tape, dear boy, duct tape. Or remove the knob altogether and mark the shaft.

Take it off, replace it with a smaller knob?

Re: Late 70s Strats - thoughs?

Just watch out for the grey ones with 'Anniversary' printed on the body. Horrible objects. The only good things I've heard said about them were from owners desperate to find a buyer.

As long as it's not Keef or Mark or David. That would make the world a hard place to endure.

I have a vintage Silverface Princeton, which is race-nuetral, and identical to its slightly earlier BF equivalent. I performs beyond the hype. I have played a few BFPRs and the speaker is the weakest link typically. Haven't played any BF DR's. We've still got to arrange for the kids to meet too.
