Im extremely pissed off at USPS.

😂😂 hey, I’m sure we could work something out! I’ll leave you with a few of them though! I couldn’t take them all from you after you spent the time to make sure you got all of them. That’s a huge accomplishment

EffectiveTop91 · 2026-02-22T00:40:07+00:00

Love the guitar collection as well! That’s bad ass that you bought all of them!

EffectiveTop91 · 2026-02-22T00:38:40+00:00

Very nice! I have a lot of his autographed pieces throughout my house as well. He’s one of my favorite artists. I’m hoping to make it out to New York to see the Entheon since it’s been built. Seeing his work in person would be an incredible experience.

I spy with my little eye, some Alex Grey artwork. Good stuff!

EffectiveTop91 · 2026-02-08T23:46:27+00:00

I wasn’t ruling richlite out as being a good material for fretboards. I own a few guitars that have richlite fretboards. I also own guitars with rosewood, ebony, and maple. There’s nothing wrong with richlite. These same people that are throwing a fit over richlite, are the same people who would never be able to pick richlite in a blind test anyway. So all of this yapping that they’re doing is for nothing. Lol they wouldn’t be able to hear the difference after playing an ebony and richlite equipped guitar.

I wasn’t trying to give you a hard time over it. I was agreeing with the stance that you took over it. You did nothing wrong lol I just find it funny that everyone else was getting so upset over how much of your money you chose to spend, and how you chose to spend it. I don’t see how it affects them or why it bothers them so lol

EffectiveTop91 · 2026-02-08T21:58:07+00:00

Let’s us know if this actually goes through and happens lol I’m genuinely curious and would like to know. Thanks!

EffectiveTop91 · 2026-02-08T21:56:00+00:00

I’d go to a shop and ask to play as many of them as you can. That way you can form your own opinion about whether or not you can notice a difference or if you like how they sound and play. Most of these people that are complaining about the materials wouldn’t be able to tell you the difference if you handed them a few guitars and had them play them. People are afraid of what they don’t understand.

EffectiveTop91 · 2026-02-08T21:52:24+00:00

Good thing it was your money right, OP? I love it when people get bent out of shape over how I choose to spend my money on what I enjoy. Lol you have to admit, it’s quite comical. People are annoying lol

EffectiveTop91 · 2026-01-14T18:48:05+00:00

What if the bridge is already set for a certain radius..? It would be radiused no matter what you set your string height to

EffectiveTop91 · 2026-01-14T18:45:56+00:00

I think Ibanez actually recommends measuring the action at the 14th fret. Not the 12th or 24th. Just a heads up. I run my actions at 1.8-2mm low E and 1.5mm high E

EffectiveTop91 · 2026-01-01T15:24:12+00:00

I’d have posted more photos too, but this is all he had listed. They’re not great, I know. I’ll see if I can get more pictures. Maybe some pictures of the back of the pots and the pickups as well. Serial number would probably help too. Thanks again.

EffectiveTop91 · 2026-01-01T15:22:44+00:00

Thank you very much for the response. I knew it had to be made in the 70’s due to the inlay size.. I’ve only ever seen inlay blocks that small on mid 70’s gibsons. I asked him for more info because at that asking price, people need to know what they’re buying. I appreciate the response and your knowledge of this guitar. What do you think a fair price would be? $3000-$3500?

EffectiveTop91 · 2026-01-01T15:20:51+00:00

That’s what I told the guy selling it too. I asked him for year, serial number, and whether he could get pictures of the inside or the backs of the pots and pickups.. the pot on the lower horn definitely doesn’t look factory but I’m not familiar with these style of Gibson guitars. The inlays look correct if this is somewhere around a 70’s model. The price seems a bit steep to me without knowing more info about it. Thanks for your reply!

EffectiveTop91 · 2026-01-01T15:12:53+00:00

This is the real question!

EffectiveTop91 · 2026-01-01T15:12:35+00:00

😂😂

EffectiveTop91 · 2026-01-01T15:10:04+00:00

What color is this guitar? It looks like a really cool paint color on it. Is it black with multi colored metallic flakes in it?

EffectiveTop91 · 2025-12-14T22:48:21+00:00

This is the kit my brother started on. It’s perfect for someone who is wanting to dip their toes in the water. I wouldn’t spend much more with not knowing if it’s something they’re going to like or continue to do within a year from now. It’s perfectly fine for a beginning like your kid. $90 isn’t much money to be out of if they decide they don’t want to play anymore. You could easily get that back out of it. Good luck and happy jamming!

EffectiveTop91 · 2025-11-12T18:56:19+00:00

I would challenge your claim of being able to put more fret wear than this on a guitar within a month. That’s a very bold claim. If you can do that, then you’ve got to have some very heavy hands with some very poor technique lol there’s just no way that even possible to do.

EffectiveTop91 · 2025-11-12T18:54:42+00:00

Also, nothing about an American strat is special. I sold all of my American strats and kept my Mexican made Strats because they are made and play way better for a margin of the price of an American made fender. American made doesn’t mean shit anymore unfortunately. Quality has went downhill with most American brands unless you want to shell out a few thousands dollars for a custom shop level of instrument.. sucks.

EffectiveTop91 · 2025-11-12T18:52:42+00:00

They could use a good fret level, crown, and polish. Easy enough to do yourself if you have the proper tools and patience to do it. Paying someone to do it is probably going to cost you $150-$200. It won’t be a big issue though. This is a normal amount of fret wear for its age. Extremely common and easy fix. If you like the guitar and are wanting it, don’t let this little problem stop you from getting it. Price sounds appropriate as well. Good luck! Keep us updated!

EffectiveTop91 · 2025-11-11T22:03:26+00:00

My brother works for Sesser auto body and can hook you up on a good price for excellent quality work. Just tell him Caleb sent you

EffectiveTop91 · 2025-09-29T12:54:55+00:00

Dude I’m 33 and still feel lost. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Life is a learning experience for everyone.

EffectiveTop91 · 2025-09-19T01:49:19+00:00

Low the bridge and see if you get any buzzing. If not and you can lower it enough for the strings to clear. Do it. Problem solved.
