What a lovely guitar, see you don’t have to spend a fortune to have a really nice guitar! The owner brought this one round with some lovely upgrades from the start. It’s a nice guitar from the start, but I love the ideas this guy had… Before… A couple of cosmetic changes, a black pick-guard, […]
This has to be the heaviest Tele’ I’ve ever come across. It’s big old chunk of pine (I think) and a solid brass pick-guard. It’s got a few intermittent electrical faults, that wiring doesn’t look too good, and I think the outside of the braded cable was shorting against the wiring on the pots’ It’s […]
Wow, what a monster. I’ve looked at some of these before but I’ve never really tried one out, it just seems so huge! The basic principles for a setup are the same as any guitar, just scaled up a little. It’s also got a problem with the nut. The slots are a little deep so the […]
What a lovely old guitar. I don’t quite know how old it is but it’s a beauty. Sadly I don’t think it’s been out of its case for quite some time and is in need of a little TLC. None of the electrics are working for a start. The bridge is missing a couple of […]
I do love a big semi-acoustic. For a Chinese made guitar these are excellent value. This one’s been fiddled around with a little though, so it needs a setup. It’s fairly new so doesn’t really need any cleaning as such, but a splash of lemon oil never goes amiss. A little polish on the top before […]
Here’s a beautiful little guitar, just needs a little attention and an upgrade or 2 along the way… The frets are rather worn for a starter…. and it came with a nice pair of Gibson pickups…… To start with, out with the old, the old nut… off with the volume and tone knobs, so I […]
Not quite my cup of tea, but a very nice piece of wood… It’s got a common problem, not returning to pitch when you use the trem’. These Floyd Rose Tremolo units can be a little temperamental. It’s also missing a spring, it’s dropped out somewhere apparently. I pretty sure I know where it’ll be….. […]
What a beauty, I’m not sure if It’s a little extreme, but it’s got something. It’s not staying in tune very well mind you, but I think I an see why. Here’s why it’s not staying in tune: With the strings pulling out of the slots in the nut at such an angle, they’ll be […]
