Case Confusion

I'd like to find a case for a Mustang. I'd assumed that a Jaguar case would work because of the scale. But all the Jag cases I'm seeing are also listed as fitting a Jazzmaster, so that doesn't make any sense. That would mean a Jag case is too long AND wide for a Mustang? And then I've read that a Mu...

Duo Sonic Wiring

I'm looking at the wiring diagram for a current production HS Duo Sonic. I've read that this guitar uses Gibson 50's wiring? If I wanted to switch from that to a "normal" wiring, what wire(s) would I need to swap? Not really digging the volume loss on the tone knob. Please pretend you are ...

Wow. I can't believe HOW MUCH better that looks with a rosewood neck. That is an ace guitar!

Lol. I would describe the owner as “terse� as this video progresses. Like he’d rather be anywhere else and is trying to get through it as quickly as possible.

Re: Mustang VM neck

Hi, I've got a Mustang VM in Sonic Blue and find the neck far too clubby for me, I've got small hands (should have known better than to buy without trying). As a result it's just sat in it's gigbag waiting for me to get off my arse to do something about it or sell it on. So interested in Doog's pos...

All MM`s enjoy thick strings, not just the 22 1/2"s. Also the radius is not an issue in most cases, the scale fixes all. To bend like Buddy Guy with twelves on is a fine feeling. And +1 on the refret tip, its no biggie if that is what you need and you find a proper luthier to do it. Those neck...

WANT TO TOUCH THA HINEY
Oooh. That is pretty hot. Not sure I'm a HH lover, but if it's a short scale I think I could get into it.

Re: Finding the Right Shortscale

Hi. New guy. Looking for a little info in the shortscale realm. Ideally I'd like something with a tremolo. So a Mustang. But I read a loooong write-up on OSG on what it takes to actually get the bridge/trem set up properly, and frankly it was a little off-putting. Hey Mr New Guy, welcome. Honestly,...

100% refret your MM. And welcome. Thanks. And wow, that is NOT one of the replies I would have expected. Obviously, that's not going to happen during this current situation. But also, I'm concerned at the price? My impression was that a good re-fret will run $300-400. You sound pretty affirmative.....
