That black Sunburst deserves to be put back right again.

still in Ann Arbor...hoping to drop in again when I get back but finals are looming; I got new pickups (SD Quarter Pound), push pull pots, and 2-pole five-way switches for the JLV TLE - have an idea of running 3 out of 5 settings in humbucking serial wiring. Also have SD Liberator pots to install, and am thinking of pulling the trigger on a Sustainiac, but want to play with the Soloist first, see how it all works...

I'll be in Korea for Christmas; I think I'll leave my collection over with you; doubleneck could use a fret dressing, Virt may need a Plek job, Sperzels have arrived, the top finish work on the JLV we talked about, and lots of wiring to be done...

With all that work you might just be the Grinch who stole Murkat's Christmas, Tobe! Just shittin' ya man - sure Jay appreciates your fine support. After all, the man's gotta retire someday (and pay for all that "NTL hideaway" beer :ph34r: ).

Today was the wrap up on the 67 SG special. It totally Rocks, those early P90's have that something.

VIntage spec, Gibson Parts cpa made, the oroinal not worky very well, shaft got pulled out when removing knob.

6/6 vintage nylon nut makes strings slippery across, esp when using the maestro.

018-4.jpg

A slight small shim on the back lip of the short maestro does two things,

Les dig in to the top, and adds a little slant to the bent spring of the maestro

to give it more of a break line without the strings popping off the bridge.

Oh my. That SG makes my heart ache with the wants. I pine for thee, little SG. *sniff*

Steve picked out a good one on a whim...

It is pure P90 balls. Thick and chewy.

Very resonate between the P90 and neck tenon. Very loud there.

I bet it is! I've been using my ol' 62 Junior quite a lot lately. Paired it up with a Rivera Quiana + 4x12 yesterday instead of the normal 2204. Made for really nice "we need to do this more often!" moment.

I realized something today. I lost sight. Goals. No job too small.

I forgot / put something off that someone entrusting me to do.

I dropped the ball.
