Nice

I enjoyed you vidoe but a straight neck is just fine back bow no to much relief no as long as you have level frets your good to go. Keep up the vidoes

I always wondered if Gibson uses the same push pull pots as they put in their Gibson. I know they did upgrade them and the caps and wiring but I just wondered if the use the same push pulls in the Epis.

I question adding hundreds to a $1300 guitar (with a sacrilegious maple neck) when you can plop $1700 for a plek'd bound rosewood board P90 loaded Nashville made SG with a plush af case you can lease out to small animals as a B-n-B. Now, that beater SG is not even worth $1200!!! There goes the collector's value !!! To be cereal though, groovy video. I might've gone for Seymour's new rounded profile buckers though - I think he calls them... Donuts. 🎸

What is the difference in sound after upgrading？

What kind of wood is that neck made of and where did you get it?

A great video. precious

The quality of the content is incredible

how much will you charge?

Loved your latest video ❤

I love your content ❤

Beautiful craftsmanship and technique. thank you

Thank you for sharing this great video

I see an extraordinary set up.

Nice action moment and great post

I havw often wondered why the pois don't have a grounding lug built into the outer case. Using a blob of solder seems like a jerry rig solution. obviously, it works when the technician knows what he's doing.

Please tell us what the SD quarter pounder is. How are they different from the other SD pickups?

I did not see a typical set up.

What size shim would you start out with ? I may have to shim one of mine and it's my first time...

A Roofers House needs a Roof.

The nylon bush is to stop the Fender bridge from rocking when the vibrato is used. The bridge is supposed to rock as Leo designed it but the nylon bush gives the player a non-rocking option. The Mastery saddles only come in one radius which is supposed to work with any radius which is a dumb design choice imo.

Thanks! It sounds great now! Appreciate you slugging through it!

I've just recently started using the slightest amount of flux. I like my results.

Does Fender make gtars with 2 way truss rods?

Far out, I wonder why you would want a P neck on a jazz bass ?

thats a bad ass guitar thanx 396!

How rare is it?

Good vid, but I wouldn't recommend using graphite as a lube. It can lead to dissimilar metal corrosion.

No way on Gibson I'm a loyal Epiphone man

i can tell you have watched DAVES WORLD OF FUN STUFF on youtube???

Wow. Incredible work! Your best yet. ~Rick

Good looking guitar. For sale?

Looks like a 56 not a 59... Still a very nice guitar.

I suggest you keep a box of toothpicks handy for cleaning small crevasses like the switch. Q-tips work good also.

I think that’s a newer 50$ srd. I have the exact same machine. I agree with everything you said. 8s? I wouldn’t but what do I know? 10s and a good setup = good to go. You got my vote dude and a sub.

I have 11's on 4 of my Les Pauls, they never go out of tune.

Who is Billy Gibbons? I play 8s on all my Les Pauls.

In run Billy's 7's and have no issues at all. They are just awesome, not one break and stay in-tune all the time. Problems do happen.

I see issues with it right from the start. I'm not going into details but you "Should" see the same things I do.

Ultra light strings, no relief, too close to the pups...recipe for a headache.

sounds like my banjo...haha

See dave collins explainations about tuning problems with gibsons at a2 guitars on the youtube. The fret spacings on some gibsons are not right. I had a real 1968 looked just like this one your working here and wasn't tuning stability, it was just plane impossible to tune because the frets where not spaced right. You can check this by looking at stew macs online fret spacing calulator! Gibson used the wrong divider number on them?

I have had my Epi nylon version since '98. A buddy of mine has the Gibson version which has much better pickup quality and tone. Great work due to your perseverance.👍

what model is that one ?

Billy Gibbons would agree with the owner of the guitar. He uses 8's, too. I personally use 10's, but I love me some ZZ Top/Billy Gibbons. Excellent playing, excellent tone.... using 8's. It also allows you to get by with less relief. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Good job with that tone pot.👍

What's the hangup with having "more wraps" on a tuners post? How can that possibly be "better"? I purposely use literally "no wraps" on every string I can get away with it on. Usually the thinner couple strings, B and high E, will require more to keep them secure. But otherwise it's never EVER been a problem for me, on any guitar I've ever owned, regardless of the style of tuner. Just try it once, before you condemn it. If having extra string length saved on the post is important to you for cost reasons, I understand. But as far as tuning stability? That's nonsense. The way I wrap/lock the strings, I can usually take them on and off multiple times. Before one will eventually break. The tuning stability is way way better with less wraps boss. Trust me.

Is that a Lazarus model?

Good piece of diagnostics on that pot, well done.

man locking tuners oughta be standard on new gtrs

Looking forward to part 2!
