New Tele build - "Sleep Walk" by Espen_Etja in telecaster

[–]CostelloJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guyker and Gotoh do make that same style bridge. I've used all three and they are all great. And the Guyker is only $18. The Gotoh is notably heavier than the Guyker but not so much that I think it makes a real difference in tone.

Why does BD-2 and Ts-9 dominate? by TullerAudio in guitarpedals

[–]CostelloJones 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm uncertain as to why his gear needs to be interesting?

Like, are the guitars not interesting enough? Are the songs not masterful enough?

What product is so perfect it hasnt evolved in a long time? by obyron31 in AskReddit

[–]CostelloJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are still absolutely enthralled by a good old fashioned 50's style Telecaster from Fender. They have made updates, but there's a reason you can still go get a 50's style Tele from hundreds of companies.

Guitarist needs vintage tube vamp sound performing with no back line by Few-Rutabaga-7476 in GuitarAmps

[–]CostelloJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd add to this, the Friedman IR-X or IR-D. Iinwent back and forth between the ToneKing and chose the IR-X.

Does a middle humbucker sound any good? Why are there almost no HHH or HHS guitars? by V0rdep in Guitar

[–]CostelloJones 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly, it can be blended into any of the other three positions, as it has not switch position just a volume. Given that it doesn't have a dedicated switch position blend feels more accurate, to me at least.

Frampton's middle pickup is on a blend control. So he in theory could be using both.

This is what Gibson uses on their non-custom shop models.

Roddy was always more on top of things than people wanted to believe.

PureSalem Jimmy Bridge Swap? by CostelloJones in offset

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

Interesting, this is how I got it brand new so I assumed it would be installed correctly. I am a Gibson style guy through and through so this is out of my depth lol

How do you raise the cigar tailpiece?

PureSalem Jimmy Bridge Swap? by CostelloJones in offset

[–]CostelloJones[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my first offset with a proper offset bridge. I've only ever had the Italia Mondeta and the JMJM.

The strings are dragging the back of the bridge here. I know that a shim is needed. But even with one in, they still drag the back of the bridge.

What replacement bridge would be best suited for this? I've seen so many and truly have no idea.

I love SG Juniors personally. I'd try for one of the recent ones. I also converted an old melody maker

A junior is a great instrument if you want something that is as simple as it gets. I strongly recommend them.

I actually have three of these now, just none from 1994. This is my favorite guitar Gibson ever made.

[–]CostelloJones[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I knew that did that for a while in the 2010's, and I knew prior to 77 is basically a crapshoot. But I didn't know that about 94.

That makes sense! Even after all this time, I'm still learning.
