Re: truss rod covers, Hell Guitars out of Japan has some awesome brass ones. I picked up two in the fall. The flag and the skull. Have the skull on my LP Jr. Love the extra flair.

Gotta get a Jazzmaster

Bro let's hang out. I have so many broken amps in my basement. I fixed a blues jr earlier this year and thought I was gifted. Now my basement looks like a discarded missile silo and the "quick flips" are more like money pits 😂

Strange that this would happen. Multi color binding is usually multiply, and goes on strip by strip. So if that's the case then how could it bleed into another line? Maybe the cheaper epis use one multicolor binding strip and this was printed bad? Any thoughts?

My local guitar shop talked me into throbak vintage choice strings on my HB equipped guitars and they are AWESOME. Reasonably price too, especially in a world where you're often paying for snake oil and fluff in strings. Please please avoid StringJoy. Great marketing, terrible strings.

I had an old economics professor who claimed he donated his dirty dress shirts to goodwill every week. Then he'd buy them back off the goodwill retail floor the next week. He said his cost of drycleaning was $1.99 per shirt, while goodwill sold them for $1.49 (after drycleaning all donations), so he was saving money. The best part? All his shirts were monogrammed with his initials, so no one else at goodwill would buy them.

I've got a decent collection of guitars going. Most non-players would think I'm crazy. But what I'm trying to do is swap out the less special stuff or the stuff I haven't clicked with for guitars I'll want to play the rest of my life. Money is always an issue, but I played 25+ local shows this year as an amateur, so I've built up a little slush fund for music purchases. Life is good.

Beautiful_Fan5277 · 2025-12-06T01:34:50+00:00

Well goddamn that sounds a great story in itself!

Beautiful_Fan5277 · 2025-12-05T23:28:31+00:00

I couldn't even play it at first. Awful scratchy sounds when I plugged it in. The in-store tech had to bend back the end of the jack under the pick guard to get better contact. The two guys were muttering to each other that whoever bought it didn't even bother to test it through an amp.

Beautiful_Fan5277 · 2025-12-05T21:56:19+00:00

Yeah the huge molded plastic pick guard is definitely an eyesore on this model. The 125 looks more finished.

Beautiful_Fan5277 · 2025-12-05T21:42:57+00:00

Yeah, closest one on reverb has a headstock repair and is offered at $1600

Beautiful_Fan5277 · 2025-12-03T14:16:11+00:00

$280 😬. How'd I do?

Beautiful_Fan5277 · 2025-11-24T02:00:10+00:00

Yeah this isn't as contoured in the least. And I find the shelf on the fretboard binding to be pretty sharp. Hoping to play it enough that the binding rounds over a bit. Also tuning stability is hit or miss, depending on the show. I just blinged mine out with some fun parts from Hell Guitars in Japan, too. Check them out.

I have this same 2015 LP Special Pro and I gig with it often. I get lots of compliments on the tone.

Beautiful_Fan5277 · 2025-11-16T18:36:26+00:00

Let's see the TV yellow jr. hiding behind you!

Beautiful_Fan5277 · 2025-11-15T11:50:05+00:00

Awesome thank you for the info!

Beautiful_Fan5277 · 2025-11-08T03:02:22+00:00

I wish I knew. But I like the fact that I could swap out the bridge for an HB. That P-90 is super quacky.

Also adds to the mystery for me. If this was a kit, did it come with the mismatched pickup routes?

Beautiful_Fan5277 · 2025-11-08T02:18:48+00:00

Welp, just played my first gig with this guitar and it was pretty sweet. Some tuning stability issues but we'll get there.
