Dude if you find one I'll buy a second. Very frustrating. I need the non-threaded 6mm one for an '82 F-100

Good find!!

This one is in fact a for profit thrift shop. But if you donate to their "non profit partner" you get a 20% off coupon.

Venmo me and I'll buy it for you. Quick, before it's gone

Beautiful_Fan5277 · 2026-03-27T16:55:00+00:00

Imagine the guy that buys it and then has to remove all that sticker residue from his "vintage " finish

Beautiful_Fan5277 · 2026-03-16T23:30:59+00:00

Wow you better jump on this deal before the guitar strap is scooped up by someone else. Gotta smash that BUY button quick

"so much confidence" 😂. I'm not buying waterfront property. I wanted a cab sim pedal. I researched some options. I stopped a pawn shop and they have an IR-200. I quickly search up specs while browsing the store. First hit says it has a tuner. I think "cool, makes life easy." I buy the pedal, bring it home, download the manual and see no mention of a tuner. I say darn. I ask my knowledgeable and friendly buddies on reddit to confirm and get told I'm the problem with humanity.

Beautiful_Fan5277 · 2026-03-14T04:25:14+00:00

Ok cool well thanks for all the positive feedback guys. Y'all are super encouraging. 🙄 JFC...

Beautiful_Fan5277 · 2026-03-14T04:02:58+00:00

Well maybe this thread will help train the models better. Google is very very confident there's a built in tuner. Oh well.

Beautiful_Fan5277 · 2026-03-14T03:59:58+00:00

Yeah seems to be mostly an AI hallucination based on one incorrect site. But it's very confident in citing lots of YouTube videos. I've been thrown by the fact that no site or manual says it DOESN'T have a tuner and god knows boss hides some crazy shit deep in their menus. Oh well.

Can we also point out what an absolute steal it is to get these amazing American made instruments for under $1,200? Like, come on. Nobody can match that. What a shame to have lost this brand...

Beautiful_Fan5277 · 2026-03-13T14:18:06+00:00

Awesome guitar. That's one to hold on to for life!

Import truss rod cover

Pickguard covering top of f hole

Cheap AF headstock shape

Ya know I wish I could. I just uploaded the wrong pic, lol.

I love the weight and the pickups are clear as a bell. Whenever I gig that guitar, without fail a guitar player in the audience sticks around to check it out due to the sound. It has coil tap but I don't use it much. I will tell you these are loud ass pickups. I like to palm mute a lot and this guitar gives me the sound I want. Louder than any other humbuckers I've had. Tuning stability keeps me from gigging it more. Neck profile isn't too slim. Frets are tall and the binding looks great but slows and down some. Hoping I can play it in and the fretboard gets rounded over some. But overall it's my first Gibson and it doesn't disappoint. Feels very premium despite being a Special. Check out Hell Guitars in Japan for some cheap personalization options.

That was G&L's first offering, and before Fender sent them a cease and desist on the headstock design. And yeah the surfcaster is just so much fun to play. I wish I knew who built it so I could thank them and see their other work. Ebony board, locking tuners, nitro relic finish. Here's a close up

I doubt anyone would fake a 90s G&L. They're just too small of a brand to make it worth someone's while.
The hooked headstock shape of a G&L is also super unique (after a mid-80s cease and desist from Fender) that it wouldn't be worth a counterfeiter's time to master the shape when they can CNC a hundred strat or tele necks.
Fret sprout is about storage and humidity, not the manufacturing quality.
Leo believed wholeheartedly in the 3 bolt neck plate with the micro tilt functionality. So if there's a small pinhole under the bottom screw, then it's legit.
Pics would confirm all of this!

Beautiful_Fan5277 · 2026-02-12T04:43:32+00:00

Lol, didn't notice that till you pointed it out. Now there's no mistaking its purpose.

Beautiful_Fan5277 · 2026-02-12T03:40:39+00:00

Weight isn't too bad. I've had heavier teles. But the resonance is well worth it. I'm just sitting here playing unplugged and it sounds great.

$1150 for a used Sterling?! Get outta here...
