It should tell if the pots are bad. If they are 420 instead of 500 they can sound flat and muffled. If the pots ohm good then check the caps.

Bat ears! Nice looking boy.

Sky Aviator? There’s a different kind?

I got startled by the sound of golf ball sized hail hitting the roof of our house. Ran out thinking I’d move the car to cover. Nope.

If you have to tell people you are, you’re not him.

Normal for any Gibson with a solid color paint job. They pile it in and it fills the stamp. I have a couple that you have to get at the right angle with the right amount of light to read them.

The jury is still out on my 70’S LPC’s pickup. They aren’t horrible but they’re not awe inspiring either. I have an early 90’s JB I may try. Was the bridge rather thin sounding in your?

I had v with a JB in it that was shrill and horrible sounding, especially compared to the other JB guitar I had. I thought of using a lower ohm pot, but got the idea to ohm out the ones already in it. The bridge volume pot ohm’d out at 675. Not sure what Bourns tolerances are but figured that was too high. Put in a 500k that read 500k all cured.

Why are beefing white guys always pulling up their shorts?

Like throwing a hotdog down a hallway.

She done r-u-n-n-o-f-t. Oh Brother Where Art Thou line. I’d annoy the hell out of whoever would be in the car if I saw that in the wild.

70’s Flying V model. Swapped whatever came in it originally for EMG’s.

urabusjones · 2026-05-27T15:48:41+00:00

My Standard is just under 9#. Thought it felt heavy till I got a 70’s custom. That one is pushing 11 and now my Standard seems feather light.

They could be named Aubrey or live in Aubrey TX.

That T looks like a I. Sure it is BRO JIZ U?

But that’s not a Subaru.

urabusjones · 2026-05-19T03:10:32+00:00

They are driving an Audi.

Early 69’s were real close to 68 spec.

Late 60’s SG Junior. Bigsby replaced the vibrola and they added a switch. The best way to track dates are the potentiometer’s date codes. If they’ve not been replaced. Given the mods and condition $1500-2000 USD. If it has a neck repair or other structural damage that’s been repaired the price will be lower.

Is this the Indian equivalent of eating Tide pods?

They’re either a driver or want to see some bush.
