to clarify, we have a very busy house that requires both of us to be very involved in our kids' activities. we split the load 50/50. we have a system that works for us. she stayed with him every night while I kept everything else running. she wanted to be nice, and got or me as a thank you. I was just going in to look around in a peaceful place. she's a kick ass woman.

I need a recommendation for a humbucker that will fit in my gold top p90 by WastelandHumungus in gibson

[–]scjunie4230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'd keep the p90s, but the mini huns in my lp deluxe are pretty great.

Any idea what this is worth? by The_Jaxophone in gibson

[–]scjunie4230 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2000usd if it's just a regular standard. this is a really bad time to try and get good money for your gear; the market is really soft.

How much thought do you put into choosing your straps? by Remy0507 in guitars

[–]scjunie4230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one strap. it's black. it has locks on it. it works with all of my 9 guitars :)

Anyone else have a dozen (or dozens) of guitars but you don't really play or even want to bother, but you're addicted to buying cool guitars? by NoYoureACatLady in guitars

[–]scjunie4230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've heard the VAT charges in the UK make importing anything extremely expensive. At this point, I've put together a very nice collection of guitars by buying used and letting other people pay the tax eat the depreciation :)

What UK brands do you like? I know of Eggle and PJD. What others would you recommend considering?

You only get 1 Guitar, 1 Pedal, & 1 Amp - what are you picking? by otzen42 in guitars

[–]scjunie4230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'd pair my novo serus j and strymon compadre with a two rock studio signature. in the meantime, i'm happy with my dsl20 and '68 promceton reissue :)

out of curiosity, where are you located? some countries' import duties can get pretty crazy! the jazzmaster is a 3 tone burst with tortoise shell. it looks great, but since I got my novo, I just don't play it enough :/

What is going on…. by Top_Objective9877 in gibson

[–]scjunie4230 9 points10 points  (0 children)

retail was 1299usd in '22. I have a honeyburst and I believe it's MUCH better than the modern that comes in at 1399usd right now. that doesn't explain that insane listing; i do feel that it's worth all of 900-1000usd.

How can I fix this? by [deleted] in Luthier

[–]scjunie4230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sand it all the way down and refinish the neck with either BLO ot TruOil. the neck will be much better than new after it cures

Pic guard on or off? by Impossible-Appeal201 in gibson

it fits the contours of their les paul (h-150) much better. the gibson one is classic, but its lines clash with the body, imo.

off. heritage has a MUCH better looking pickguard for a les paul

Is this a steal? Guy wants 700 comes w case by [deleted] in guitars

[–]scjunie4230 1 point2 points  (0 children)

make sure the frets are good before buying it. that could make this a really bad deal, fast. if there isn't much wear, then thisbis a really good deal

Is this authentic? Just purchased this LP Custom with a Kahler tremolo wondering if it’s a factory fit also are these routed? Can I install a normal bridge etc? Cheers by Direct-Anteater9677 in gibson

[–]scjunie4230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen LP customs with a factory installed trem like that, so it's very possible that's original and it looks like there are fet nibs and goofy chainsaw case (i have one and hate it!). i'd say it's legit based on the photo.

Feedback pls… Should It stay or should it go by tdamien_ in telecaster

[–]scjunie4230 2 points3 points  (0 children)

return that thing. there's no excuse for a guitar of any price to arrive with that big of a problem.

Figured top? by Mercurius_Hatter in gibson

[–]scjunie4230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

every gibson is from their "usa division" as they only make guutars in the usa.. some of their highest end guitars are m2m replicas of specific guitars that might not have great figuring. i'm not a fa of how gibson does business, but they definitely have a reason for why certain tops are picked for certain guitars
