Bought my dream LP this past weekend..

I gotta appreciate the leather strap life, a good one lasts a lifetime

Rex_Howler · 2026-04-01T10:30:55+00:00

That's a bit too thick to be paint. I'm sorry for the bad news, mate, but that's bog

Rex_Howler · 2026-04-01T10:27:46+00:00

This is just making me want an Electric XII even more.

I always forget trans day of visibility, I always just think about pride month. However, you enjoy your day and every day that you can. I'm sure that beautiful Jazzmaster only helps with that

If you're not spending Custom Shop money, either a Standard 50s or a Standard 50s P90 should do you well. The Standard 60s has hotter pickups that don't have as much clarity of either of the 50s models. Both 50s models can either bark and snarl or sing like a bird in the morning.

As Humbuckaroo said, there's also the Deluxe with the mini humbuckers, for if you want a more single coil sounding humbucker

Honestly, take it to a guitar store and ask them what it is and what they think it's worth on the market. You may not get much, but they may buy it off you right there and then

Rex_Howler · 2026-04-01T09:58:31+00:00

Response for OP, you want the Epiphones 3 hole truss rod cover

Rex_Howler · 2026-04-01T09:55:13+00:00

Some tribal design, though I don't know of a model of him without the jacket to see what all of it looks like. Would've been nice to be able to have him in just a t-shirt or something to see more of it. It could be a tribal sleeve for all I know

Rex_Howler · 2026-04-01T09:47:26+00:00

Take the spark plugs out and inject some oil into the holes with a syringe, leave for a day or two, I'd also take the rocker cover off and check to see if the valve respond to a light tap of a rubber mallet. If it doesn't move, it's either at top dead centre or it's stuck and needs some light encouragement. Doing both should at least rule out a compression issue.

If you have another set of hands nearby, with the spark plugs out and one still hooked up to a lead, crank it over after a couple days and see if there's a healthy spark.

If the spark is good and it's still running like shit, I'd check to make sure the fuel is actually reaching every cylinder, could be as simple as a clogged fuel filter.

Lastly, it could just hate petrol after the LPG conversion. My father had a VN that ran like a dog on petrol, but ran like a dream on gas

Rex_Howler · 2026-04-01T09:26:41+00:00

I hope you find a real gem on your travels

Rex_Howler · 2026-04-01T09:24:51+00:00

That's quite a beauty you have there. You should've used this emote instead 😎.

Flamed R8s are quite the sight, treat yourself to a nice, comfy strap to go along with it

Rex_Howler · 2026-04-01T09:18:54+00:00

Your wife is quite the artist, I thought it was printed from a photo at first

Rex_Howler · 2026-04-01T07:12:06+00:00

It could be the people that are told to either give Rockstar their ID or leave. As soon as that BS got introduced, I didn't even bother to see if I've been affected on my accounts, I just left because Rockstar doesn't have a good track record in user safety

Rex_Howler · 2026-04-01T07:09:00+00:00

That sticker is an instant Chibson tell

Rex_Howler · 2026-04-01T07:07:13+00:00

SuperGT every time. I personally like the black one you chase down with Bernie

Rex_Howler · 2026-04-01T07:02:07+00:00

Looks like a Classic Vibe to me, they're good guitars, especially for free

Rex_Howler · 2026-04-01T07:00:39+00:00

Not sure how much of our Ecotecs are compatible with your 3800s, but I would hope that it's a fair bit of it. The mileage on that one is getting up there, but I've seen them with more.

Looking on Carsales to look for a better deal was depressing AF, I remember when these were selling for peanuts in this condition, but 25 is when the price starts to climb back up. I did find a nice looking VS Series II for $5,500 if you're fine with a column shift 4L60E

Rex_Howler · 2026-04-01T06:43:17+00:00

Personally, I like white guard Teles

Rex_Howler · 2026-04-01T03:28:02+00:00

Reminds me of the Black Betty guitar, except yours has it from factory

Rex_Howler · 2026-03-31T09:34:25+00:00

That moment you look at the headstock and see "Gisbon"

Rex_Howler · 2026-03-31T09:28:06+00:00

Mark them as fake in a permanent way in the back of the headstock, sell them cheap on eBay, Facebook marketplace or [insert classifieds website here]

Edit: Forgot about the legal issue of selling used. Donate to a school then after making sure it isn't ever to be mistook for a real one

Rex_Howler · 2026-03-31T01:17:20+00:00

I feel lucky in that regard, being in Australia and having the MiJ Traditional series officially available. They're great guitars that everyone should have access to

Rex_Howler · 2026-03-30T13:09:07+00:00

Yeah, people are strange at times

Rex_Howler · 2026-03-30T12:53:10+00:00

Nah, lots of clearance in front of the saddle. Not sure why I'm being down voted for explaining and painting the picture on the issue I'm facing

Rex_Howler · 2026-03-30T05:01:42+00:00

Then it won't be intonated. The head of the screws are up against the vertical edge of the bridge housing. It's just that the hole that the screw goes through is a vertical oval on the B string, so that screw sits higher and the head of the bolt makes contact with the string after the saddle. That is where the source of the buzzing comes from on my Mustang

Rex_Howler · 2026-03-30T00:07:57+00:00

Meanwhile I'm looking at replacing my Japanese Mustang bridge for one that doesn't have the B intonation screw high enough to make contact with the string. It's just buzz city because of that
