My ez rider, still folded up, setting on its side right next to my amp works fine as a setup platform.

My ez rider, still folded up, setting on its side right next to my amp works fine as a setup platform.

That's a real beauty. Although if what I'm seeing on the strings near the pickup is the tone bar you're using, you might consider getting a proper PSG tonebar. The one in the pic looks like the type g ...

Congrats on a great score!. My first PSG was a first of the first gen. Mavericks. Polished endplates and non-roller nut. Bought it in a pawn shop in 1972 for $125. I added one KL (RKR, 4th string E to ...

Maybe “colored sound” is the wrong term. A cable’s capacitance effects the signal it transmits. As capacitance increases, high frequency transmission decreases. That’s not advertising. It’s ...

Tommy, I don't need it. But looking through the Winnie Winston/Bill Keith book, on page 59 there's a photo of Mr. Boggs standing behind what appears to possibly (likely?) be this very guitar. Pic was ...

I saw an old Fender sunburst double eight, 8/0 cable pull in a second hand store today. What caught my eye was "NOEL BOGGS" in old, worn sparkle block letters on the front apron. It seems ba ...

If shipping is an issue, I'll ship within the CONUS for cost, at buyer's expense.

Thanks for that info, Marty. I hate to let this guitar go. I have a ‘67 bolt-on S10 that I’m playing that sounds great, but not nearly as much of a honker as this one. I first heard it when Jerry ...

Thank you both for the tech help!

SN 1466 D. I am the third owner of this guitar. I bought it from Jerry Roller in 2015. It had been his player for some years. Jerry told me he got it from Dave Musgrave, who bought it new and played i ...

If I had to play straight 440, I'd sell the guitar and quit playing. I've tried it and it ain't pretty.

To each his own. But Buddy Emmons tuned his E9 straight 440, with a couple of very minor twea ...

Lots of good info in this thread for a beginner to learn from. But there are a couple of statements I would disagree with. First, that banjo players tend to play close to the bridge and steel players ...

Beautiful. I notice that while it has a center strap across the bottom skirts, it doesn't have the steel straps running length-wise along the bottom edges.

I understood that after '66 or so they s ...

Sorry about your issue, Roger. Any competent electric guitar tech should be able to test your pickup and determine if it's bad. (Tone control pots and neck selector switches can also get glitchy.) If ...

You should be able to adjust to whatever footwear you have at the time. I've played with everything from bare feet to brand new cowboy boots and just worked with whatever I had on. It takes some adjus ...

The simplest method is to either magic mark or put tape markers on the rod shafts in descending order from 1-8. I have mine with the shortest (from the top) at 1 and the longest at 8. When held togeth ...

I guess I'm lucky. I've been playing all kinds of guitars for close to forty years and never had that problem. If they slipped, it was usually because I didn't have them quite tight enough. Biggest pr ...

If there's an Izzy or Match Box, that first, then the VP, then FX, then amp. If the amp has an FX loop, I put FX there and go direct to amp from Izzy/MB/VP.

This question, in some form or another, applies to so many things -- cars, motorcycles, etc. But with respect to musical instruments, it always seemed a shame that collector/speculators (hoarders?) of ...

Mark McCornack, I can't disagree. $47 for two picks is crazy. But apparently people are paying more than that for just one of the originals. Rolling Eyes

OTOH, $47 would be close to the cheapest part of my ...
