Re: Epiphone LP Special SL/Melody Maker E1

Love that DC!

Those Melody Makers always looked fun. Yellow is the best color I think, good looking fretboard on yours too!

Re: Birth year guitars, has anyone done this?

I have a Japanese Strat that I thought was birth year (same as yours, 1985) but it turned out to be a 97. I've also owned 84 and 87 Squier Bullets, the 84 was MIJ and quite nice. Oh yeah and the 88 Ibanez RG670 I restored, which is really nice quality but probably not most people's bag here. So, I ...

Re: 71 Mustang I'm obsessing over

Good luck!

As someone trying to sell a 65 Mustang myself, you may have better luck unloading your trade and paying cash. Depending on the seller's tastes and reasons for selling, but personally trades are the last messages I'll reply to.

Re: NGD: Hagstrom Condor

Thanks!

So as it turns out, the middle pickup was NOT dead, it was just a broken trace on the circuit board for the switches (interesting forum thread about the switches if anyone's curious: http://www.projectguitar.com/forums/topic/54984-hagstrom-corvette-condor-wiring/ ).

So this new guitar shop opened up next door to a video game store I frequent....I went in at random a couple weeks ago and was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of cool stuff, but one thing in particular caught my eye....

In a moment of weakness post election I went back with some trade bait and cash ...

Re: NGD - Squier Paranormal Jazzmaser XII

Nice! Dig the Fiesta, I almost bought one in that color when they were the only color on sale direct from Fender. When I bought mine it was just the blue and white (the Sherwood one with matching headstock is also a good look, but also sadly not on sale)

And agreed with the pickups...right now I'm ...

Re: NGD - Squier Paranormal Jazzmaser XII

I feel that - that was basically the reason I traded the Fender XII, not that I didn't use it at all, but not enough to justify having such a nice one. At $315 this is really all I could want in a 12 string, besides maybe some less aggressive pickups.

Found my scale and this weighs in at 8lbs 7oz ...

NGD - Squier Paranormal Jazzmaser XII

Arrived yesterday, haven't had too much time with it yet but initial impressions are great. Fit and finish is amazing for the price, if it had Fender on the headstock I would likely be fooled into thinking this was a $800 guitar. I owned an alternate reality Fender XII for a bit and this is ...

Re: N(p)BD: Harmony H27 bass

Mock-up...I'm actually really liking the maple look, but at this point I'm going to have to live with the imperfections as some of the deeper scratches don't look like they'll come out without going through the laminate top.

Re: Fender sale is getting kinda wild right now. Prices like it's 1996


I'm really tempted by the Squier XII's for $350.


Can't believe I've had over a month to think about these at this price.

Fender is doing 10% off through GC and Sweetwater etc. And Sweetwater is doing 24 month 0% financing. So $315+ tax ($340/ $14 a month out the door in NY)

It's 1:20am EST, I ...

Re: N(p)BD: Harmony H27 bass

Been doing a lot of sanding to the body. It has a million fine scratches from what I imagine was 200 grit or less. Ugh. But I'm working at it little by little with 600 to 1500 grit by hand.

The maple top has some serious flame to it under all the surface scratches. I'm still very undecided for the ...

Re: Mustang/duosonic body swap

Looks great - I would keep the white (personally I would want to see how it looks with all black plastics, but since those are Lace Sensors I'm guessing that's not an option)

Re: Impulse buy Mustang Bass project

My Harmony bass I just posted the other day had a few metal hole plugs covering some of the controls (which I've since removed)....I would probably do something like that. Wouldn't bother routing for an on/off switch or anything.

Looks great btw!

Re: N(p)BD: Harmony H27 bass

So far progress has mostly been on the headstock faceplate/truss rod cover. Previous owner had painted them white, then sanded most of the white and painted them black. The celluloid has definitely shrunk a bit but it's not too bad.

Also it looks like a previous owner had plans to reshape the ...
