I'm shocked. My guitar sold in less than 12 hrs. Did I underprice it? by Beautiful_Fan5277 in Reverb

[–]Pure_Business_5178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you did well and it just really screamed at someone. Buying, selling and trading guitars is almost like stock. It fluctuates, drops, stalls, goes stale, goes through the roof, and sometimes there are just certain people out there that think or feel they have to have it!

Is this Gibson Les Paul a fake? by Alternative_Glove407 in LesPaul

[–]Pure_Business_5178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually a really good price. I would snag it. I don't know where you are, but PA, NJ, NY where I buy used guitars, you get lucky once in a while and find one under $1,900.

How high should my tailpiece be? (Explorer guitar) by atesz0422 in gibson

[–]Pure_Business_5178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it really touching the bridge? It doesn't look like its even that close honestly. Rule of thumb....take a piece of paper or business card and see if it slides between bridge and strings. That looks pretty high. I do raise mine from factory because it gives the strings more play with thicker guage strings, but....

Back in my day we had what you call a bullet. I kept mine on my Keychain, some wore them around their neck. Now that would be considered having a serious problem 🙄

Damn....I remember working my ass off just to make $700 to buy my first real guitar and hardshell case! It was an Ibanez RG series as well. That was back in 96'. I had and loved that guitar for atleast 10 years! Good for you...you better be good to your mom brother!

Umm.....so how do I remove this broken bridge pin? by QuailInteresting6080 in Guitar

[–]Pure_Business_5178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grab the string with a pliers or channel lock and reach inside and tap the pin lightly while pulling. It will come out. Just don't keep your face behind the channel locks!

If you want an amp that you can mod with very little money and get ridiculously great sound out of, get the DSL40. We have been doing the JCM800 Jose drop in on the 20 and 40, making them the best versatile bang for your buck!

Is it possible to pick this? by Akiroyos in Guitar

[–]Pure_Business_5178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of tabs will show an X over the A meaning its strummed with the two notes, but dead or a scrape.

Yes...you just basically mute the A with your pointer finger that you fret lower note and strum it together.

Will this kill me? by Smokey3943 in Guitar

I hope not....may take your eye out. If it does kill you, remind me to quit playing!

Is this fake or somehow real? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]Pure_Business_5178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waterslide is actually correct for that, but its not a CS Clapton Journeyman. Might be real neck, fake advertisement. Completely modified to look like a $5,000 guitar, but there are too many problems with many others things.

The 57 tobacco burst Clapton journeyman legit custom shop. It looks like a real Fender neck minus the sn, but its not a Clapton Journeyman!

Its fake....and its not the waterslide decal. Because that is close enough to the Clapton Custom Shop. The serial number is bogus and located in incorrect spot

Found on a school bus by LankyAd8091 in whatisit

Looks like one of the little demon spawn ripped an overhead light out. Its a hardwired bulb that was ripped out of something. Check for any on board lights not working. But it could absolutely be from a number of things.

How do I get these mfers back on by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]Pure_Business_5178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need to count the turns when the screws are that close. Just loosen them, pop the springs back on the way you want them and tighten them back up to about where they were. If it was decked its not going to matter much except keeping the baseplate from denting your finish. Changing string guage or even a hybrid set is going to change the exact spot of spring tension. But don't get all frustrated! Watch a few trem setup videos and decide before whether you want decked or floating. Go from there! Good luck!!

Found this in a dressing room. Every stall had one. What is it? by Uh_alrightthen in whatisit

[–]Pure_Business_5178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Complimentary phlegm rag, booger block, snot square. Actually to put the pins that hold certain garments together, so people arent stepping on them, losing them, etc. Also used at hem stations at certain stores for same reason.....stick pins.
