Actually, thats a good break to fix, because it has a large surface area to glue. Not that you want it to happen.

They should have more reverse binding models. It should have had uncovered black bobbins so the screw and slugs are more “stars”.

No. Not possible. Never can a guitar be smashed into 14 pieces. The literal example is Bollocks. 🤓

@kennethcbailey27 5 ай бұрын

@@ChrisShortyAllen I was obviously being conversational. But if you want a couple real world examples, Jaco Pastorius' bass was completely shattered into more than 10 pieces and it was stuck back together. Gary Moore had to have Greeny rebuilt after it was smashed in the trunk of his car after getting rear-ended in traffic. Wasn't easy and I'm sure it wasn't cheap, but both of them got fixed after being very extremely broken.

Salutations Austin! Very nice Les Paul’s, the 25/50 has a lot of movement in the woodgrain, I suspect it will sound great, I also like the Moonless Night Les Paul Custom, the extremely light sprinkling of glitter flakes looks very tasteful, I am sure it sounds great too. It’s too bad the ESP Explorer was damaged in shipping, but I think it could be repaired fairly easily by a competent technician, unfortunately I couldn’t access your website from the video link, but I will try finding your website through other means, to check out your current selections. Thanks for sharing! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨🎸

Seems weird that a 2018 LP Custom has richlite but my (much cheaper) 2018 SG Special has rosewood. Why not throw rosewood on when they couldn't get ebony with richlite being so controversial. Glad the UPSucks necks were repairable.

@Trog 5 ай бұрын

It can never be restored to original because the original holes were reamed larger by the new oversized screw. Many times you’ll be left with a larger impression from the larger strap button too. You’d have to fill, redrill and live with that if restored. I prefer examples that have no stories because someone will have to sell my collection for me some day and itll be a lot easier for them this way. Most buyers won’t care but between the two moonless I have, I’ll stick with my first one

@disco4535 5 ай бұрын

The 25/50's usually have an underwhelming top. But it seems that a majority of them look liked they were played/gigged on a nightly basis. Was there something unique about them that made them great playing guitars?

@Trog 5 ай бұрын

In my experience, it is easier to find a clean one as most of these were bought as "investments." The good ones got played.

@@Trog They trashed my mesa Mk2C++ .. shipped / packed PROPERLY and fully insured for 10k USD.

BTW . . haven't I heard you say that you have a 'special' account with them? One that means they pay out claims 'easily'?
