NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Just gonna say I think that is a massive job that will be way harder than you expect. I'd be prepared to put in lots of hours and lots more money than the guitar is worth. Good luck....

Sounds absolutely nothing like a Klon.

Hot.

Wasn't that guitar also used for Brothers in Arms? I've heard worse tones.

The '83? That's the guitar he used to record Money for Nothing which probably cranks up the value a whole lot.

A bargain at twice the price.

Those LPs must be pretty high on the list of most expensive guitars of all time.

It's the amps that sizzled my bacon. Concert, Vibrolux, Vibroverb, JTM45....

The alternative isn't that great though!

Endless youth? Doesn't sound terrible.

For reference, this guitar was distorting heavily with volume at 2 out of 10 on my a Plexi clone.

Gratuitously complex pedalboard content incoming... 20240219_222652.jpg Sold my ES-5 and am going to build a smaller board around a small MIDI controller and under-board loop switcher. But until then, decided to build a board for my current four-amp setup. Was fun integrating my favourite pedals in ...

Occam’s razor

Mind you I’m over fourty so it’s probably an even race between green day and polyps

Happy Green Polyps Day!

Less effective band name.

Great guitar, love it. Miss my old Junior.

Such deep yearning. Or they could be a polyp

Why not both?

I associate the Telecaster with Ed Bickert and Bill Frisell.

So many for this one. Haggard, Paisley, Lange, Richards, Springsteen, Danny Gatton, Andy Summers...

It is a thing that some Les Pauls are just biatches for tuning...and some (my '68 RI for eg) rarely go out of tune no matter what you throw at them. But I would suggest the nut is the single biggest factor in the equation. The newer Gibson nylon nuts on historics are really good for tuning, but I w...
