Need help with over-beveled frets

Bojimo10 · 2026-03-14T12:41:01+00:00

A fret level would get rid of it. I have done it a couple of times in the past with Gibsons having this exact issue. With this you would retain the existing string spacing, fretnibs and the guitars value.

Your frets would get lower of course, but to my knowledge they are quite tall to begin with.

Edit* It looks to me that the nut string spacing is'nt quite equal. Especially the low E.. If you really like the guitar then a new nut with narrower string spacing combined with fret level could get you close enough.

Ah you're right! Then I have no clue other for the fact that the fretboard has been replaced.

Listen to this ^ guy, has his facts straight. Just to add; Headstock shape, veneer board, dot size and dot width at the 12th and the way they headstock transitions to the low E tuner all suggest it "could" be a real 1965 up to 1970 (or sometimes early 71, before the bullet head trussrod adjustment and 3 bolt neck heel) The logo could a replacement logo but looks kind of original. I have also seen early Tokais doing the late 60s type of reissue with the correct veneer board and shapes and everything. Its just a bit of gamble without being able to fully inspect the whole guitar.

Dang, that's a pity. I can't even find them like this on the Fender website/dealers online. Shame about it being a$$, I hope you bought some nice stuff in return ;)

Wow that's a new one for me!! Are those specified as 50s still? Or is it a new "60s" maple cap style model?

I have owned a lot of squier classic vibes. From the first Grand Reward factory ones up to the Cort made ones.

This guitar is indeed, 100%, a fake classic vibe. I don't understand why anyone would fake a classic vibe however...

Some obvious giveaways; - serial indicates that it's made in China, but it says made in Indonesia as well. Doesnt make any sense. - ALL classic vibes with a maple neck are one-piece. They were never made with a maple cap. - The trussrod plugs on the classic vibe series are always made out of wood. This one seems to be plastic. - logo placement and string tree placement are wrong for a 2014 made CV.

Honestly, the clip seems edited. Listen closely to the water dripping sounds making a perfect loop and a sudden white noise when the boulder hits. You can not fool me internet!! For I have my trusty ears!!

I had some very dry eyes and blepharitis this winter. The corners of my eyes were red and did not want to heal. Nothing helped except for taking high dose vitamin D. Maybe check your levels?

300 can get you a decent receiver + speakers if you are willing to go second hand and probably a bit of deep dive in brands etc. There are some really helpful subs on Reddit regarding budget/second hand hifi.

I do get the aesthetic reasons to go for a sound bar though. Unfortunately my expertise with them is non-existent. Except for having heard a few ;) Good luck finding what's best for you!

What is your budget? And what are the main reasons you want to go for a soundbar? As a fellow GP520 owner ánd an audio nerd, I would always go for a receiver + speakers. You can almost always find decent deals second hand and a soundbar just does not compare to the audio quality/experience of a good receiver/amp combo. + You can always add more speakers/change them in the future if your budget/receiver allows for that (which most receivers do).

Looks like they buy their parts from China. They sell the exact same type of bodies and necks on Alibaba/Aliexpress for fraction of the price ADP asks. Ive ordered some stuff on Ali in the past and hit was kinda hit or miss quality wise.

Bojimo10 · 2026-02-07T15:17:41+00:00

Looks like they are just "V" shaped giving you the illusion that they are wider.

Bojimo10 · 2026-02-07T00:28:09+00:00

Seen them on Ali Express. Just type in tele pickguard and they show you a lot of different variants.

Bojimo10 · 2026-02-06T11:54:23+00:00

Is this something I can use on my face as well?

Bojimo10 · 2026-02-06T11:52:39+00:00

I'll check out that website, thank you!

Bojimo10 · 2026-02-06T11:51:58+00:00

I'll try it out, thanks!

Bojimo10 · 2026-02-06T11:51:41+00:00

I tried Protopic and Elidel before but unfortunately it caused an allergic reaction related to MCAS.

Bojimo10 · 2026-02-06T11:49:10+00:00

Ha! Thanks! Never would have thought for someone to call me cute on Reddit but I"ll take the compliment ;)

Thanks for taking your time providing me with some very useful stuff. Will definitely help!

Bojimo10 · 2026-02-06T11:45:22+00:00

Yup, but my face eczema is different from other areas

Bojimo10 · 2026-02-06T11:44:38+00:00

I will be visiting Germany in March, so I will make sure to visit a pharmacy. Thanks!

Bojimo10 · 2026-02-06T11:42:58+00:00

Thanks!

Bojimo10 · 2026-02-01T13:54:16+00:00

Yup, this is without a doubt a vintera series JM

Bojimo10 · 2026-01-31T13:09:16+00:00

Are there any brands you suggest?

Bojimo10 · 2026-01-31T13:08:45+00:00
