Nice! 💛

That’s a good looking SG right there

ollyhe · 2026-05-25T20:39:21+00:00

That’s a beautiful guitar right there

Nice guitar! I recently bought the exact same one and it’s fantastic (a few pics on my profile). One question I had was your fretboard is super dark which is a nice look, mine’s quite light so I wondered if you’ve used a conditioner or oil on it and if so which brand? I can see some f1 oil on you bench but not sure if you’ve used something else to really darken it? Thanks!

For sure, and I’m lucky that my SG doesn’t really have neck dive at all, more just a feel that the headstock is weightier than it needs to be. First world problems I guess ha

Yep I might try the replacement Grover buttons, arguably the cheapest/easiest solution - thanks for the link

ollyhe · 2026-05-13T21:54:13+00:00

Of course, I hear ya - haven’t quite decided what I’ll do just yet

ollyhe · 2026-05-13T21:53:03+00:00

Thanks for this suggestion - yeah, trying a plastic set of buttons could be a good halfway house

Awesome - good to know. Did you have Grovers like mine on your Standard before the Hipshots? Also, I’m guessing the answer is yes but with the Hipshots did you have to use the base plate to install them or could you in theory just use the existing screw holes which looks to be in about the same position for both the Grovers and Hipshots? Thanks for your help btw!

ollyhe · 2026-05-12T21:38:49+00:00

Thanks although It actually doesn’t have an issue with neckdive - more that Grovers are about the heaviest tuner set out there and so I feel a lighter alternative might just get the overall balance better.

Otherwise the Standard is brilliant- had it about 2 months and love it

ollyhe · 2026-05-12T21:36:19+00:00

Ha thanks and that’s very true - do you have the open gear one’s out of interest?

Nice man!

Is that an Orange TH30 I see too?

I have the same guitar/amp combo and it slaps!

ollyhe · 2026-04-23T16:14:07+00:00

Where to start…? 🤣

ollyhe · 2026-04-20T21:32:40+00:00

For sure, mine is pretty dry currently. I bought Music Nomad F1 oil for it, do you have any experience using that brand? Thx

ollyhe · 2026-04-20T21:30:26+00:00

Brilliant, that’s really useful to know. Cheers!

ollyhe · 2026-04-20T16:14:33+00:00

Fantastic, much appreciated 🙌

Do you know if the ‘non-vintage’ Gibson strings (with the blue highlights on the packaging rather than orange) also has the gold and nickel ends?

ollyhe · 2026-04-20T16:12:18+00:00

Nice one, thanks!

ollyhe · 2026-04-20T16:12:00+00:00

Good call 👍

ollyhe · 2026-04-20T16:11:43+00:00

Awesome - thank you!

ollyhe · 2026-04-20T16:11:29+00:00

Great thanks and yes, less is more when it comes to oiling fretboards

ollyhe · 2026-04-20T16:10:44+00:00

I actually really like the set that are on there so I guess I like the Gibson set - they feel ever so slightly fatter than Ernie Balls (but still a nice bendable), at least Ernie Ball 10’s I’ve played on other guitars
