Robbie Robertson, lead guitarist and founding member of The Band passed away this past Wednesday after a long illness. He was 80 years old. RIP, Robbie :cry:

Ditto on the magnet swapping...
I experimented with A2, A3, A4, and A5 magnets on various winds. Although I still have a couple of A5's, my preference is A2 magnets for the bridge and A4 magnets for...

Happy belated birthday, Robert!
Ah...52...still a young man...:AOK

WOW, excellent job, Robert!!:dance

You've really become quite good at this, haven't you DVM? :thumbsup
I can only imagine the pride you must feel when you complete a project like this...professional build quality for sure!

I had a mild case of the COVID 2-weeks ago...no big deal...I'm fine now. Ironically I was offered the vaccine during the middle of my infection but had to turn it down (someone cancelled). You can't...

Congrats, Rev! Happy Birthday to me often makes for the best presents!
Ah, February....when all the cool people were born :rockya

I learned of this just now...

Oh, Robert, my heart aches for you!
I've lost both parents, a couple of siblings, and several close friends; but never the one person in my life that is as close to...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY!


Hope you day is full of family, friends, and laughter!

DVM doesn't check in as much as he used to, but hopefully he'll see your post an give you an answer. Knowing him I'm sure there was a good reason for doing what he did!

That could depend on a number of variaibles: What is the OEM single coil in the bridge position (Alnico II, IV, ceramic) and what is the resistance in k-Ohms?
I always check the resistance of pots...

From the My Les Paul site:
Here's the description from the Epiphone Elitist guide......

All Elitist instruments are equipped with custom-wound pickups “Made in the USA”...

I don't know, Robert. You can always find another shirt, but a guitar like that?

Nice buy, Robert!
It looks good, and if it sounds even better then it's a good score. I've used Musikraft necks before and have found them to be great necks.

BTW: The pickguard clashes with your...

Even though I have been absent for some time I see that I am still listed as a moderator on this forum. If this is still the case I gladly and humbly accept that role once again.
It's an old adage...

Thank you Robert! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

When I received Robert's email that he was closing this site I was very saddened. As I already expressed to Robert I bear some responsibility for his decision as I haven't been around for quite some...

Thank you all very much...

I haven't had much time to spend here in recent months but I think of all of you often. This is still the best music forum on the web!

Nah, I just bought a new one instead...:thumbsup

All kidding aside, it is a good idea to clean the coils once in awhile. A/C units too, especially in hot climates like here.

Of 'my' 7 cars I've owned and driven, 6 of them have been sticks - including the one I drive now and the previous 3. I generally keep my vehicles a long time. In the past 28 years I've had 3-Toyota...

Well, my weekend was more like two with a full week in between...

We went out to LA to visit an old college friend of my wife's, then we all went up to Paso Robles to check out the Central Coast...

I am so sorry, Blaze....

I saw Arlo Guthrie a few years ago in a small theater here where I live. Arlo didn't have to travel far as he lives in Roseland Florida which is only about 1-hour + north of here. He put on a good...

My compliments to your teachers, then. It's rare that someone ever becomes fluent in a language learned in the public school systems here. Case in point: My niece studied Spanish 4-years in public...

:applause:thumbsup

Nice work, Jimi!

I've always thought the Jimmie Vaughn Strat to be the best deal in the whole Fender line. It sounds even better with the pickup change.

Thanks for sharing...
