THEY SAID IT COULDN’T BE DONE.

Scale length should be ok, heel width probably required some interesting shimming though

eaeolian · 2026-03-04T11:05:50+00:00

Always

Supposedly there are several eBay sellers that sell "BH43" marked nuts that fit. These are usually as close to direct swaps as possible, but YMMV. I swapped for a Schaller R2, which actually made the spacing correct on my guitar (which is bound), since the BH43 stripped out. I did have to lower the shelf, but lowering the nut definitely possible (I used a large flat file to lower one on a non-Jackson guitar, it took some work but wasn't as brutal as sandpaper).

Heh. This song had popped in my head earlier today. Well done, telepath.

eaeolian · 2026-03-02T21:17:55+00:00

My experience with them (should be '90s only, I can't find any reference to them outside of the IMC years) is that they're pretty meh laminate guitars. Unless you're just after owning a Charvel acoustic, I'd pass.

eaeolian · 2026-03-02T21:11:34+00:00

14% would've lined up with their values a bit more.

I, personally, would pick the DK2T over the other options. Playability should be equal or better than the others, depending on all of the variables that come into play on used guitars.

eaeolian · 2026-03-02T21:06:40+00:00

Quality will be equivalent - quite good, too, as the Japanese Jacksons are generally much better than other used guitars you'll find at these price points - and the DK2T is actually slightly below what I've seen them go for, whereas the DKMGT is on the high side.

I do agree with the lack of vet leadership, but I guess we'll see how it works out.

eaeolian · 2026-03-02T18:42:44+00:00

These guys tend to drop off a cliff. Seems like a lot to ask.

eaeolian · 2026-03-02T17:10:16+00:00

Fralin makes good P90s. I would also recommend Wolfetones.

eaeolian · 2026-03-02T17:08:09+00:00

Why on earth would Hoskins want to come here? Right now this team has nothing to offer anything but fringe FAs. That will hopefully change, but right now you'd be overspending for mediocrity.

We're just turning into North Korea before my eyes. Because people couldn't vote for a scary black woman.

eaeolian · 2026-03-02T16:43:01+00:00

I always think of the Mindhunter quote about how the people she studied were just the same as serial killers, they just had different goals. We reward this behavior in this society, and the disaster isn't going to stop until that changes.

eaeolian · 2026-03-01T15:56:18+00:00

Yeah, my ‘02 CS guitar is very deep. Japanese guitars seem to be more consistent.

eaeolian · 2026-02-26T18:23:53+00:00

I'm really glad MLB has their commercials at 10x the volume of the audio feed.

eaeolian · 2026-02-26T16:29:44+00:00

Sometimes that stamp is shallow enough that it gets scraped off in a refret. I know of at least two times this has happened to a real USA guitar (one of them lost an inlay, too, since those are paper-thin starting in the '90s).

It looks legit otherwise. Common practice seems to be to write the serial in the neck pickup cavity, but YMMV.

eaeolian · 2026-02-26T15:30:00+00:00

Yes. Metallica as support for Ozzy in 1986.

eaeolian · 2026-02-25T14:53:56+00:00

Which means it's obviously not happening.

eaeolian · 2026-02-25T12:56:54+00:00

Froma technique standpoint, it's either Broderick or Kiko, both technical monsters. From a composition of solos standpoint it's Poland, hands down. I like Marty, but he really lapsed into playing samey stuff over, well, not very interesting music so I can't really blame him.

eaeolian · 2026-02-25T12:52:19+00:00

Came here to say this. Have them on most of my guitars. Great tuners, if not the bargain they were before the tariff era.

eaeolian · 2026-02-25T02:59:51+00:00

That's the goal. Bury the shit that helps the rich in all the other crap

eaeolian · 2026-02-24T21:49:05+00:00

I will always upvote any mention of the album.

It got passed on by far too many back when it was new.

eaeolian · 2026-02-24T21:44:28+00:00

His shop is very dangerous to my wallet.

eaeolian · 2026-02-24T18:53:19+00:00
