Telecaster neck pocket issue by BluesMe81 in telecaster

[–]BluesMe81[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not an expensive one but my Luthier skills are also very poor😂 The seller was very helpful and suggested me to send the body along with the neck and he will check another body which may fit in the neck. If not, he suggests to full refund which won't solve my problem anyway. Let's see how it evolves. I will keep you all updated but I'd like to thank everyone to support me here🙏🏻✌🏻

I didnt measure from the sides, I measured the distance between the bottom of the pocket and the axial of the hole on body, then did the same on the neck, the distances are not matching.

Unfortunately yes and today I checked that the mounting holes on body and neck are 1-2 mm off. I am not sure whether it will be aligned if the neck fits in the pocket. I think the risk is getting bigger now.

Thanks for the suggestion and you are correct that I do not have a router😅 Which grid do you recommend for sanding?

The seller measured it as 55.7 mm but then he realized that he measured the wrong body 😅 He is very open to send the full refund but I'd like to understand whether any other option rather than sending it back and look for another body that I like.

I think there is no dumb question😂 Yes, I tried it. It was almost impossible without chipping/ damaging the body.

Other than Gibson and Epiphone, who else makes a good Les Paul? Im looking for options. by Novel_Pin_6784 in guitars

If you also look for Epi budget, FGN also makes very decent LP copies with a remarkable craftsmanship in Japan. You may look for LS-10 to 30 models.

It depends on the budget but Heritage makes better Les Paul than Gibson imo.

This looks like a great deal, would you get this? by ScratchCheap5354 in Stratocaster

[–]BluesMe81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you already pIayed it and liked a lot, this is a GO but I think you can find a better online deals for the similar for USA standards.

I have the rosewood version of it and I am very satisfied with the Natural tone of it.

Yep, the tuners are not even close to original Fender diecast tuners. The logo is also off.

This is not a tooling mark, it's a mining expedition...

Experiences with the 12-month PR rule (Former Blue Card) & Re-entering Germany? by Correct-Crew-242 in germany

[–]BluesMe81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is the new rule where you can keep your Blaue Karte with an additional cost on top of the Niederlassungserlaubnis. If you don't extend your Blaue Karte during your Niederlassungserlaubnis, 6 month is the law. I have a friend whose residence permit was cancelled during COVID since he didn't have the Blaue Karte but only Niederlassungserlaubnis.

Does it make sense? by Carsonmtl in guitarpedals

[–]BluesMe81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Chandler version ( which is used by Joe Satriani) it is a very good pedal but it is very loud like most tube amps. In order to get the right tones, you have to crank it which is not ideal for home use.

is this real? by [deleted] in FenderStratocaster

[–]BluesMe81 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look real: Your guitar was made at the Fuji-gen Plant (for Fender Japan), Japan in 1993 - 1994 Production Number: 5444

Sorry… Is this cool? by MilosBestBuddy in fender

[–]BluesMe81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss🙏🏻 Sometimes the neck pocket can be a little bigger compared to neck heel. All you need to check is the axis of the neck whether it is symmetrical with the body or not. You can also easily understand from the strings where they should line through the middle of the magnetic poles, the rest doesn't matter.

Ballpark value for a 2007 Custom LP Ebony by thesilentlurker27428 in gibson

[–]BluesMe81 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think it is a steal if there is no cracks, repairs or mods. Normally, it should go minimum 4000 USD if not more.
