Already seeing the upper access and horn size discussion. I'm very intrigued... Took a rear route strat and a KNS 6 from the showcase - scaled them as close as I could get them based on the neckpocket and screw holes. Should give a decent approximation for those wondering on size/shape of the...

Have you ever watched BigD guitars youtube videos? I don't think all of his finishes are amazing - some of them definitely are - but it's worth perusing his channel to see what works and what doesn't work for him - and if doesn't work for him it probably won't work for you or most people...

Single colors are not impossible for a person with little experience, but a decent amount of patience, to execute. You could also consider buying DIY-paint ready and taking it to someone local to do it for you - my friend has had multiple non auto things painted by a local auto body guy and that...

I know you're saying CBS, but for color reference here is an actual showcase purple heart against your body.

Red is a character from the Shawshank Redemption who acquires stuff. I'm just a customer ;)

Call me Red, because everyone understands I'm a guy who knows how to get things... pretty sure this is the one you're talking about.

The same person who took MY $99 walnut strat body...

No longer true. I took the last man standing out of the mix... Three orders in three days... what a haul. THANK YOU CEO!!!

Some Electro-Harmonix pedals have hidden messages printed on the PCBs, placed on the screen during layout by various engineers - one of them is "listen to Cookies Galore." It was a band of one of the employees...

I'm curious how those worked out for you and if you needed to glue/reinforce or they just worked with the existing knurl.

This adds up big time. Can we rewind 17 years?

I too, had it in my (second) cart and was debating and poooof... gone. I did not hesitate on the two warmoth necks, put them in my cart and went right to checkout because I knew they would go fast. I was pleasantly surprised when one of them was cheaper at checkout than when I added it. I then...

Please, someone give this orphan a home! It has been a screaming deal forever, and I'm starting to feel bad for it. And no, I already bought four necks this morning, so I can't (although I thought about it).

TLDR : - Opinion : I have used JB's and super distortions, and to me the Red doesn't sit in the same class as either of those. I think it works well with subtle overdrive, but I've never really liked it in a high gain setting by itself. - If I had to do it again, I would probably lean towards...

In the one period of my life where I had to make those kind of choices, pro audio and anything else went first even if it was at a bigger loss, because I knew I would regret selling instruments. A few years ago I found a Godin Flat Five on Craigslist Brooklyn - a guitar I pined over but couldn't...
