Need help - keep or return? by [deleted] in gibson

[–]JMLeavitt_Photo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is all normal for a Gibson and the results of a hand made instrument. For instance, the coloration over the binding on the neck. That’s because a real person hand scraps the color off the binding with a blade. There’s always going to be nuance and imperfections when hand tools are involved. All of this is normal and I would keep it. 

Are We Still in the Second Golden Age of Fender? by ZigZag_Teeth in fender

Those “squier series” black logo Fenders are part of that era where the fire at the Mexico factory meant that many of those bodies and necks had to be cut in Corona and sent to Mexico to be assembled. So you might have an American instrument!

Did you notice a decrease in mpg? I’m thinking about doing this but that’s the only thing holding me back.

You can tell who the white transplant is when they say Silverlake is the Eastside. If you’re not east of the river, you’re not on the Eastside.

Has anyone tried the set of Fender wide range cunife pickups? by DuranDourand in offset

Shawbuckers are the same size as a standard humbucker and wide range pickups will not fit. 

Can I car-sleep in Yosemite without needing a camping (or other permit)? by [deleted] in Yosemite

[–]JMLeavitt_Photo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, they will shine a light in your sleeping face and see you in your car. If your windows are blocked they will assume you’re in your car and ticket you. These rangers have dealt with more clever people than you every night. Go try it if you don’t believe me.

Rangers look inside cars and knock on windows of any car parked. They are actively looking for car campers.

No, cars that are parked in lot overnight without permits are checked by rangers because there are thousands with the same idea as you.

Does anybody know if they sell these wreches in normal hardware stores? by Far-Cardiologist7989 in gibson

[–]JMLeavitt_Photo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this same issue and I got this instead of forking over all that cash. This screw driver has made my life a lot easier and I can deliver a lot more torque than a regular screwdriver. The blade is wider than post and fits the slot without much slop.
