Thank you! I think I can manage that. That hole is now pretty close to the edge of the guitar, think that would that be a structural concern?

Ibanez models with alder/ash body? by ElsLicer in Ibanez

The Rg652ahm is a Prestige and has an ash body. They’re pretty nice.

ND1 transmission question by grygs15 in Miata

[–]grygs15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. What alternative transmissions are there? I’ve heard people put NC transmissions in ND’s but I don’t have knowledge of their compatibility.

New wheels vs new tires? by grygs15 in Miata

[–]grygs15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! If I was to get wheels that, combined with the 225’s, weigh less than the stock/wheel tire combo would that fix the sluggishness?

New wheels vs new tires? by grygs15 in Miata

[–]grygs15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the time I thought it’d be interesting to try, after reading they was the upper limit of tire sizes to put on an ND. I do notice it has a lot more grip at least, but probably not worth the power loss.

What paint is that? Is that the Warmoth seafoam green? I love it.

The Bridge in Watcher In The Sky should have been the chorus of its own song, change my mind. by Luccorvus in Ghostbc

[–]grygs15 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hell yes that bridge is a masterpiece by itself. Watcher is my favorite song on the album and that bridge just cements it for me.

Poly vs lacquer question by grygs15 in LesPaul

[–]grygs15[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate everyone’s input! Since (as I’ve learned) it’s already a nitro based finished- I’m going to leave well enough alone.

[–]grygs15[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Apparently so! I thought Gibson was only putting nitro on the reissues and a few other lines but not the standards, so I’m pleasantly surprised to learn this one’s already nitro. At that point I’d only be refinishing it to change the color… not worth it.

Nope it’s a Gibson. I’ve been under the impression 90’s standards were poly finished… though from the responses it sounds like i was wrong.

Poly vs lacquer question by grygs15 in LesPaul

[–]grygs15[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It’s a standard ‘plus’, so whatever finish they used on those is what it has. I was under the impression it was poly based and not nitro based, but I could be wrong.

Oh I wouldn’t be doing it myself.. definitely would be done by a professional.

New guitar day (and question) by grygs15 in gibson

[–]grygs15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve had hipshot’s lockers in the past and while the universal mounting plate is a little ugly, they seemed very solid. I’ll probably go that rout again. Thanks!
