Hi, Thanks for a nice coment. Do not worry...do not afraid me at jam...;-) I try to play melodicaly with good feel...this is very important for me. Most important thing for jazz musicians is...

I have the Gypsy Jazz Multiac. This differs slightly in that it comes with steel strings...silver plated copper wound Gypsy jazz strings. It's super versatile with that Seymour Duncan lipstick...

Godin Multiac Nylon Guitars - Model? Performers?

It's up to you...but I would refret with something that feels good to me. Not what is historically correct. Makes for a more enjoyable playing experience. I am partial to medium jumbo frets.

Are you serious?

Excellent, rp - enjoyed it! (everybody else's contributions so far as well)

Yes of course, but that doesn’t work in a satisfactory way (for me) if the stage volume of the rest of the band is louder than your amp and you have to rely on a monitor to hear yourself.... I...

I agree with Jack: the Hot Rod (and Blues) Deluxe has a different circuit that steers away a bit further from the AB763 circuit and sounds different imho.... In fact, I swapped out the pots, caps...

Rounds of household aluminum foil? 0.016 mm thick, bends sharply over the shaft's angles. A whiff of sprayed contact cement on one side of the strip could keep the wrap tight.

Wilkinson tuner buttons

Perhaps not as far as you but I’ve been down that road before. I gave up and just got the tuners that I wanted. I think that Hipshot and Grover will have the most interchangeable button choices...

100 % this. Mine is a 2017 model...and the pickups are exactly as you describe: very hot and super bright. Seems an odd choice for this guitar (with no disrespect intended to those who like these...

Ibanez GB10 - Replacement Pickups

Ragman: Nice job! Time feel is especially good. Tone works great. Nice melodic lines. Well done!

According to Vintage Vibe website, "The bridge position HS-90-SW pickup has a DC resistance of approximately 10.4 k-Ohm". I did not measure the resistance of my actual pickup, so I can't say for...

Vintage Vibe Pickups: Charlie Christian (CC Rider) and P90 (humbucker-sized)

Here’s a thought: Take the Gotoh buttons, tape up one side, and carefully fill the hole with epoxy. After it cures, you can drill it out to any diameter you want.

Personally, I would have it redone in my favorite fret wire. In my case that is Jescar 51100, but a lot of people don’t care for that. If you have guitars with frets that you really like, you could...

1935 Gibson L-12 - what frets?

Some of you know that I recently acquired a 1935 Gibson L-12. I have been playing it for a while and it is pretty clear that it needs new frets. Should I replace the old frets with exactly the same...
