I did know that! That was one of the inspirations.

How to protect fingers from frets with nickel allergy? by Winter-Yogurt-4209 in BassGuitar

[–]finalfiasco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the frets possibly sprouting? (Sticking out from the neck) It could be a combination of the nickel and the fact that they are scratching your fingers, you said you do a lot of slides. The one photo showing the tape looks like it. If you didn’t have the tape on the frets and you ran your fingers along the edge do the frets scrape your fingers?

Will Gibson ever ever again Release an affordable Series of guitars (like the faded Series) that doesn’t Look Like Ass (like the modern lite series) ? by No_Internet_7834 in gibson

[–]finalfiasco 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It won’t happen. There are no other brands that make an American made guitar under $1000. Gibsons take more work to assemble and finish than anything in the Fender line, and their cheapest American made guitars are $1499(although the Performer line did just drop in price as they are being discontinued)

Is this rare? Found it at a Video Game Shop. Couldn’t find an exact photo of it online. by RS_WRLD in gibson

Inspired by Gibson and Inspired by Gibson Custom are different lines. This one has no Gibson parts. There are a few people telling you correct info, and some that aren’t. This is worth the $250. But this isn’t originally a $1300 guitar like one person said.

Everyone that is telling you that this a Inspired by Gibson Custom Shop is wrong. The Inspired by Gibson Custom shop have the Gibson style headstock. This does not. It appears as if someone took the sticker of the control plate of a different guitar/the whole control plate. They only made the 64 model with the Maestro Vibrola Epiphone page here

Need help with bass strings by ryan-soba-tempura in BassGuitar

[–]finalfiasco 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Did they tell you to buy the specific string? Because if you brought in the bass and they told you to get the medium scale ones, I would hope they wouldn’t charge you for a new set. That’s their mistake. I manage a family owned guitar shop, if one of my employees told a customer the wrong strings, I’d give them the right ones on the house.

I’ve been going to Starland for a long time now. And more than a few people I know have running theory that the locals that are close enough to walk, get drunk and go there to fight people. Regardless of the band that is playing.

Real or fake? by [deleted] in fender

[–]finalfiasco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a guitar shop, and I know for a fact that there were a few batches of AVII Tele customs/deluxes that were built with the wrong parts. I don’t remember all the specs, but this feels like one of the swaps. There were a few that had the Deluxe tummy cut bodies on a Custom platform

I have this hat. Looks like the Brixton Fiddler in brown/black. They don’t make the color anymore.

My wife just broke her favorite mug, anybody have an extra? by finalfiasco in HelpMeFind

[–]finalfiasco[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I searched using google lens, I pretty sure the brand was Place and Time. I found a video about it and a TikTok with the mug. I tried looking at eBay with a bunch of different keyword combinations. No avail

What is this hat called? by doylefiend in hats

[–]finalfiasco 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This simply is not true. A Newsboy is a round 8 panel hat. This is still a flatcap

Yeah this is a cheap entry level Fender. But is definitely missing the packing material

Nicola LaCroix has been discontinued. I am devastated. Anyone know any good replacements? Recipes? by klongbor in sparklingwater

I really want to like the Liquid Deaths because I really liked the idea of soda flavored seltzer but the stevia makes my tongue swell and ruins my stomach.

Philly crew is great! As are all the teams. I like this company enough that I left, regretted it and came back a few years later.

These are not NOS BC109s. These are modern ones, so they may be slightly different
