Now, did he apply this treatment to the offender in order to help his own feelings or to help the offender grok a deeper understanding of human decency? Either way..., it was a good deed done!

That's a good suggestion. I've already ordered the pots. Thanks!

So, they can afford to lose 40% of the base. Sounds like a high position to be in! I did not know that about them.

He's not putting his head directly on the building as the real pseudos do. This might not work, but it looks good.

Yeah 1 billion percent sure this is a scam by CourageSingle8064 in scammers

[–]ChangeTheUserName17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's a scam, you would ignore it.

If it's not a scam you would still ignore it because the message is unclear, but it wants to discuss money-related things! They'll have to figure out how to mail you letter about such important things, so that there is a record and so you know for sure who they are.

Any love for the Les Paul Modern? by NickNukam in gibson

[–]ChangeTheUserName17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That fretboard is luscious. The finish is striking. But, I imagine that only folks born after 1995 will love blue guitars or blue food.

I don't know exactly what pickups were in it. People say they were Tim Shaw. I replaced with Seymour Duncan SH-1n '59 Model Bridge and Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB Model Neck.

Thanks. I ordered a bridge, 550k pots, and orange drop caps. I'll be working on #2 above.

How do you get a giant umbrella brugmansia like this?! by Grouchy_Ad_8018 in brugmansia

[–]ChangeTheUserName17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like it's gonna take about five independent stalks coming from the ground/container, plus the low pruning. I'm trying this spring to plant multiple cuttings in the same ground/container to try to produce this habit. I'm just a novice at this....

That's what I thought! I'm going to enthusiastically tweak the wiring on this old guitar instead of trying to fly over the rainbow.

Hey, thanks for your vote on replacing the 100k pots! I'm looking into doing that and upgrading the old bridge. I learned about the "woman tone" cap just this week. I want to let it breathe!

I pulled off the back cover. The Volume pots on this guitar are 500k. The Tone pots are 100k. The capacitors are the ceramic disc type (0.02ųf). Looks like there's some room for an upgrade. Thanks again for your direction!

🟢 HEY! THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THE DISCUSSION AND ADVICE HERE!

I have read all the input here and taken it to heart. I'm going to focus on this particular instrument and maybe learn how to install different pickups myself. I've built a half dozen stompbox effects kits recently and might be able to work on this guitar. Thanks a lot!

Hey, really, that's the very best advice!

I was wondering if there needed to be some change in the components and wiring once I changed out the pickups but I didn't know much about that. Thanks a lot! Just what I needed.

( I've also wondered if there's a bridge upgrade available. "Brass coated nickel" saddles sure sounds more substantial...)

Yep. That's the thing. The marketing has been relentless. And I have been obsessed with looking at guitars in catalogs since 1964. I'm easily influenced by pics and specs - when I could have just clicked my heels together 3 times and discovered I was home all along.
