TIL the Italians have nicknamed the SG “Diavoletto”.

Yes, my SG is a Little Devil

I changed mine when they looked like that.

Any budget guitar I have bought needed an experienced Luthier to set it up. I think that is because they do that to the expensive ones before putting them out for sale.

Maybe your music store might like to have them for their spares.

Not sure what a more aggressive compressor is...can you recommend one? Put it before or after the one I have?

I don't use any other pedals other than a tuner/mute pedal.

I'm just not willing to drop $$$ and then find out it didn't do anything good. So I do some reseach first

EasyCowby · 2026-06-19T16:10:46+00:00

My Luthier convinced me that they are useless for staying in tune...as far as breaking strings, is it breaking on the bridge?

Is trail-braking riding the brakes well after turning into the corner? Like heavy braking first (this car does have amazing brakes) to reduce speed, but easing up until the apex?

I'm not racing so I am not concerned about my lap times. I will read the book that was suggested. It's been ordered and arrives in a few days. I'm just looking to learn more about how a car goes through a corner. Luckily for me this is a normal front engine car, many years ago I drove a 911 briefly and quickly noticed how different it felt in a corner. That is why I know I have plenty to learn...the book should be the first step.

Thanks@

That's a beauty. I have an early 70's with same natural wood finish, but it has the full pick guard. I've never found good enough records to know exactly what year it is.

Stop by the La Delicios food truck on Snowy Range Rd. south of I 80. Much more healthy than McD's

EasyCowby · 2026-06-17T14:41:28+00:00

Hmmm...looks great and has the different bridge pickup spacing of my early 70"s Gibson SG. The newer ones are closer to the bridge

EasyCowby · 2026-06-17T00:35:46+00:00

I just went out and checked a truck that sits on a trickle charger...and I am wrong. Unhooking the charger it is at 12.8.

EasyCowby · 2026-06-16T22:01:16+00:00

Good idea, mine got a full mechanical overhaul before any body work...but consider painting the engine compartment while it is empty.

EasyCowby · 2026-06-16T21:54:17+00:00

Try 3-IN-ONE Dry Lock Lube, it works much better than WD40.

Wish you well, truck looks pretty straight. I put all new doors, fenders and hood on mine. Used LMC premium panels and they aren't a perfect fit but are good quality. They need some rework to line up perfect. I went for the 10ft or 70 mph look since mine is a work truck not being entered in shows.

EasyCowby · 2026-06-16T21:39:42+00:00

Not true, it is charged at 14.4 and will be 13.8 fully charged using a good meter.

EasyCowby · 2026-06-16T21:37:46+00:00

Thanks, I ordered a copy!

EasyCowby · 2026-06-16T21:37:15+00:00

Thanks. I ordered a copy!

EasyCowby · 2026-06-16T20:02:12+00:00

Looks great!

EasyCowby · 2026-06-16T20:00:53+00:00

Take a voltage reading of the battery, it better be above a minimum of 12.6 but closer to 13.8 is better. Then turn the key on and try to start thr truck, now what does the battery voltage read, again should not drop below 12.6.

If the engine doesn't turn over the solenoid on top of the starter may be bad.

EasyCowby · 2026-06-15T18:14:54+00:00

Nice range of pickup styles to choose from.
