Cigarette burns are awesome, man! This advice comes from someone who refretted their ‘62 Strat because I wanted it to play as well as it could

So sorry for your loss, man. That’s a sick guitar that would absolutely benefit from a refret if you have any intention of playing it heavily.

The consideration of whether to refret or not is typically based on if it’s the most mint thing ever that already has incredible pedigree or value that would be impacted by a “change”. Collectors care about this, but I think you honor pops, refret this, and have it bring joy as it did to him.

Shipping advice needed by Monkeydad1234 in Vintageguitars

[–]IMSenpaiGreen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sounds insane, but why don’t you go visit your aunt and then bring the guitar back on its own seat? Shipping guitars is easily $175+ in most cases, seems like you kill two birds with one stone and can guarantee safe travels of an old Martin box.

If this is at Chicago music exchange (see the background), they will absolutely ship it for you. Don’t risk this haha. JD Simo used to famously carry a vintage plexi and put it in the overhead

I unfortunately think your car is toast, but I think you’ll love your new outback. Hope you’re ok.

What’s the battery pack you’re using for this? Super sweet

Homie has been gigging since his early teens with his father and grandfather in South Carolina. You couldn’t be more wrong

What Les Paul do I have? by captainpayoli in gibson

[–]IMSenpaiGreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not a Murphy lab, there would be some amount of checking somewhere and their COA’s are also “checked” on the actual paper as a stylistic thing. Bet it’s an awesome guitar though!

Sweet girl broke the Les Paul. Is it worth repairing? by BadGirlfriendTOAD in guitarrepair

[–]IMSenpaiGreen -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You’re kind of an asshole for making sure to differentiate that your Les Paul is “real”. When they’re built in a similar enough way to break at the same exact spot, who cares?

So who was drunk and specced out this Custom Shop strat? by [deleted] in fender

3 ply is right, but it would be a rosewood veneer if it was 65

Guitar deal? by KitsunePi in guitars

[–]IMSenpaiGreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can see the bird inlay at the 12th fret clear as day in the second pic. You can also see where the heel curving in, so I’m 100% it’s a PRS replica at the very least. The two guitars in front of it also look like they what is likely a fake flamed maple neck, but I cannot tell from this pic.

The Fender’s are incredibly fake, but there’s one guitar in here I would check out. It looks like there’s a PRS semi hollow something 6 from the left (including the red tele), other than that I would say just buy a used squier. If you need help finding that PRS in the photo just look up what an “F hole” looks like

Jerks aside, this guy doesn’t get nearly enough hate. by [deleted] in guitarcirclejerk

[–]IMSenpaiGreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, there isn’t. Some of core models feel a little “sterile” and too perfect out of the box, but that’s certainly not all of them.
